Ok, I thought I would dust off an odd thoughts for the back to back set with the Pistons.
First before we go one word further into this post let me make clear one thing.
The Detroit Pistons are one of the most unselfish basketball teams I have ever seen.
I've been watching the NBA since I was around 9 years old and I have seen all of the great 80's & 90's teams both on tv and in person. But this Piston team (going back about 5 seasons now) really honestly and truely is a unit that no one part is more important than the other. Each of these players who could easily lead most other teams in the NBA in scoring but they freely make the pass, set the pick, make the defensive stance that makes thier overall team better.
In other words what I'm saying is simply this. We were beat by a better team and there is no shame in that.
So first let's give credit to the Pistons for the game they played. Once we were down 10 I knew it was out of reach (& honestly so did most of you).
I wouldn't feel that way about every team in the NBA but agaisnt the Pistons.....
But that doesn't mean we didn't help them in thier cause.
I would like to officially thank Mike Dunleavy and Danny Granger for taking the night off. I hope you guys had a nice break and can join us tonight in the fieldhouse for the game.
Also a big thank you to Larry Bird for our backup point guard spot.
I don't blame Jamaal one bit for his play tonight nor for that matter do I blame him for his play over the past week and a half. It is obvious the guy is injured and no not a fake injury either.
He tried to go, he wanted to go but he just had nothing to give. Against a lesser guard? Maybe. Against Billups? No way in hell.
I just do NOT understand why management has done nothing to address this.
Jamaal even if healthy will not be able to play the min. that we are asking of him. But now with a hamstring we are screwed.
Sorry guys but my guess is Jamaal really ought to set out about two weeks worth of games. But we all know we can't afford this. Let's all just hope to God that he doesn't tear something or injure something else while he is trying to play through this injury.
I guess I would also like to thank Diener for finally hitting a shot. The fact that he hit them in a totally meaningless time when the game was already over doesn't help any.
But if we want to look for the silver lining in the cloud here I guess we should hope that maybe this could be the turn around for him and that maybe just maybe he could earn 5 min. of playing time a game.
While I'm complaining let me throw this out there for Ike Diogu. While I really want to like his game and really want him to succeed I must say this.
If he would put in 1/8 of the effort on defense and rebounding that he does in trying to get his shot off he would be a great player no matter what his height is.
One last negative and I promise I will try and get to something positive.
Has there ever been a more useless 16 min. of basketball played than what Jeff Foster put in last night?
Is he injured again? Detroit is just one of those teams that knows how to render Jeff useless.
Ok, let's look for something (anything) to say was good here.
Well, let's start with J.O. (yes it is still me typing) even though he went 1 on 1 a few times I never really felt like he was forcing the offense. I also thought he was very active on defense and passing. Overall I was pretty pleased with his game.
Troy Murphy, well to be honest I can't understand at the end of the first why we didn't keep him in the game? The guy was on fire and we never really tried hard enough to keep him going.
Also unless you actually watched the game I don't want to hear one word from anybody about Troy's defense. Troy bodied up all night long and actually I thought often times did very well on Wallace when he was on him. I'm not saying he stoped Sheed by any sense, but his defense was not a problem and therefore since he was a shooting machine and got his share of rebounds I don't want to hear about how or why Foster should have been in there for even one min. over Troy in this game.
Oh yea while I'm thanking people again let me go back and once again thank David Harrison for having whatever injury it is he has this time around.
Andre Owens was outmatched all night long but he never gave up and that is all you can ask from a player. In fact he really tried on defense. IMO, if Jamaal can't go tonight (& I'm saying right now he shouldn't even try) then Owens has earned the p.g. playing time when Daniels doesn't have it.
Oh did I mention that Granger and Dunleavy didn't play worth a d@mn???
Anyway we don't have time to feel sorry for ourselves. We get to face them again tonight.
Maybe Danny & Mike will join us? Who knows.
Oh yea Shawne Williams..... Well, he did score 9 points. But he also provided us with 0 rebounds.
Speaking of which, I haven't gone back and looked lately but remember when we were routinely outrebounding teams? I would be interested to see how often we have outrebounded teams over the past 10 games.
Buck up Pacer fans, maybe tonight we can pull off the upset.

Over the years I have received checks, bills, job offers and even boxes of baby chicks by mail. Now the U.S. Postal Service, authorized on July 26, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress, has decided to end Saturday delivery the week of Aug. 5.
Over the years I have received checks, bills, job offers and even boxes of baby chicks by mail. Now the U.S. Postal Service, authorized on July 26, 1775, by the Second Continental Congress, has decided to end Saturday delivery the week of Aug. 5.
My first postal carrier was a man named Peacock who grew up on an Indian reservation and delivered baby chicks in the days when the postal service did such things. Naomi, my current carrier, is one of the best ever.
The financially struggling postal service announced last week that it plans to stop delivering mail on Saturdays, but will continue delivering packages.
The move will save about $2 billion annually for the postal service, which has sustained billions of dollars in losses in recent years with the advent of the Internet and e-commerce.
The postal service has stumbled over the years. A member of the agency�s board of governors sent me a message in 2006 complaining Americans were no longer sending first class mail in the volume necessary for survival of the country�s second oldest federal agency. The message came in the form of an email.
The postal service has a responsibility to take the steps necessary to return to long-term financial stability and ensure the continued affordability of our mail. Post offices will remain open on Saturdays, we were told, so that customers can drop off mail or packages, buy postage stamps or access their post office boxes, but hours likely will be reduced at many smaller locations.
The Postal service said it suffered a $15.9 billion net loss for fiscal 2012, which ended Sept. 30. That�s three times the loss recorded a year earlier.
In the past, Congress has included a ban on five-day-a-week mail delivery in its appropriations bill. But the Postal Service is currently operating under a temporary spending measure, rather than an appropriations bill. A majority of Americans support ending Saturday mail, according to recent national polls.
Though the postal service is a quasi-governmental, self-funding entity, its worker compensation and retirement plans are tied to the federal budget. Our illustrious Congress has been meddling in the latter areas far too long, but has tried unsuccessfully for years to reshape a leaner organization that delivers mail less frequently and operates fewer post offices.
Congress created Frankenstein and is totally amazed that it is coming to life. By requiring the postal service to pre-fund retirement health benefits to the tune of over $50 billion over 10 years, which no other agency or business has to do, Congress has tied its hands.
For many Americans, the postal service�s plan to end Saturday mail delivery after 150 years symbolizes the broader decline of an institution that predates the nation it helped bind.
�Things change,� observed Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe. The Internet is free, he added, �and you cannot beat free.�
However, you can mourn change. A younger generation thinks of mail as a dinosaur. To older generations, the mail means something else, and the end of Saturday delivery is one of many bewildering and disturbing cultural changes.
The postal service helped pioneer long-distance stagecoach, rail and air travel. Its couriers were stayed by �neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night� � words borrowed from Herodotus.
We outlasted the Neanderthals and we will likely outlast the loss of Saturday mail service.

The definition of creative thinking is the ability of creating something new or original from scratch with an assurance of the product being one of a kind. Creativity is something which involves your abilities like originality, elaboration, modification, imagery, associative thinking, metaphorical thinking, and the will to create. When kids develop this at the mere age of 1 to 3 years, their instincts stay for a lifetime. Even though some part of this creative thinking is inbuilt, there is another part which can be induced into the brain by carrying out some mind stimulating activities. These activities are very basic to the art of creative thinking and test their level of creativity.
Mentioned in the coming up paragraphs are a few creative and critical thinking activities for kids and students, and can be carried out in schools as well as at home. So, find out which of these are important to you.
Activities that Help Increase Creativity of Children
The human brain develops till the age of 20 to 22 years but the basic development has been completed till the age of 8 years. Thus, if you want to explore creative horizons, you can surely use some great creative thinking activities for this purpose. These activities and exercises help toddlers, students and professionals to develop unique skills and abilities which guide them to look at things differently. The creative thinking exercises mentioned in the coming up paragraphs, gives you an overview of some very easy and basic thinking activities, which require presence of mind and quick, smart thinking. If you like teasing your brain and using your intelligence quotient to the maximum go ahead and find ways to explore and build new things.
Relating Activities
This is one of the best thought provoking activities for kids, as all you have to do is relate to two very different things and give an idea to match them. For this, you can use two objects like edible or non-edible things which can be related and write down their relationships with each other. For e.g.: A fruit and a baked product. Firstly describe them separately and then note their connections to each other in a time limit. This will let you know, how fast the kids can think.
Word Games and Puzzles
Another great option for some great creative thinking activities for students of all ages and other individuals who like brain teasers, there are many word games which you can play. These great activities include games like Scrabble, word puzzles and sentence formations. This collection of brain exercises can be used because they allow your creativity to flourish in the form of making and breaking new words, as well as using random alphabets to give sensible words. Using prefixes and suffixes to the already existing words on the board to make other words can be very creative and it uses your problem solving abilities as well.
Take and Make
Have you ever asked some questions that make one think about certain things which can be used in different ways? This can be a great exercise for your brain, as thought provoking uses of certain items which are wasted can turn out to be very useful. Therefore, make a list of 5 to 6 items which are everyday items that we use, like bins, lace, plastic bottles, folders, shoe laces, etc., and try to come up with one item you can make using all of them. Such activities prove to be some great critical thinking exercises for children of young ages. These help in making them sharper, more alert and quick in thinking.
These fun activities are very useful for children of all ages as well as older individuals. Thus, practicing these activities daily can make a big difference in the way you think to quite an extent, so make the most of it!

First Federal of Northern Michigan Banco (FFNM) filed Quarterly Report for the period ended 2009-06-30.
Alpena Bancshares is the parent corporation for First Federal of Northern Michigan a federally-chartered savings bank headquartered in Alpena Michigan. Their deposits are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. They operate nine full-service offices in their market area of Northern Michigan. First Federal of Northern Michigan Banco has a market cap of $6 million; its shares were traded at around $2.0799 with and P/S ratio of 0.3.
Highlight of Business Operations:For the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company reported net income from continuing operations of $42,000, or $0.01 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $236,000, or $0.08 per basic and diluted share, for the year earlier period, an increase of $278,000. Net income from continuing operations increased by $439,000 to net income of $189,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from a net loss of $250,000 for the same period ended June 30, 2008.
Total assets decreased by $7.2 million, or 2.9%, from $247.7 million as of December 31, 2008 to $240.5 million as of June 30, 2009. Investment securities available for sale increased by $1.9 million and net loans receivable decreased $10.0 million during this time period. Total deposits decreased $3.5 million from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009 and Federal Home Loan Bank advances decreased by $250,000 while equity increased by $145,000.
ASSETS: Total assets decreased $7.2 million, or 2.9%, to $240.5 million at June 30, 2009 from $247.7 million at December 31, 2008. Investment securities available for sale increased $1.9 million, or 7.6% from December 31, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Net loans receivable decreased $10.0 million, or 5.2% to $182.3 million at June 30, 2009 from $192.3 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in net loans was attributable primarily to shrinkage of the residential mortgage loan portfolio due to portfolio mortgage refinances which were sold into the secondary market wherever possible due to continued historically low market interest rates. We also experienced some decrease in our consumer loan portfolio due to slowed origination activity related to declining property values and also in our commercial portfolio due in part to loan pay-offs and loan charge-offs.
LIABILITIES: Deposits decreased $3.5 million, or 2.1%, to $162.3 million at June 30, 2009 from $165.8 million at December 31, 2008. The decrease in deposits was largely attributable to shrinkage of our traditional certificate of deposit product as we were not the market leader in rates on these products during this time period. The decrease in our certificate of deposit products was partially offset by modest increases of $649,000 in savings accounts, $576,000 in demand deposit accounts and $754,000 in non-interest bearing demand deposit accounts. We also experienced a $3.1 million shift from liquid certificate of deposit products into our money market deposit accounts. Repo sweep accounts decreased $4.0 million as several of our commercial customers reduced the amount on deposit with us due to timing of their expenses, but did not close accounts. Total FHLB advances decreased $250,000 to $40.0 million at June 30, 2009 from December 31, 2008 as we paid down advances with funds from loan payments and payoffs.
Interest Income: Interest income decreased by $606,000 million to $6.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 from $7.1 million for the same six month period in 2008. This decrease was primarily attributed to a decline in the average balance of interest earning assets of $2.1 million to $230.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 from $232.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. In addition, we experienced a decrease in the yield on those interest earning assets of 45 basis points to 5.65% period over period. Notably, the yield on non-mortgage loans decreased 83 basis points period over period to 5.64% over an average balance of $107.2 million due in part to declining interest rates and in part to an increase in the amount of non-performing mortgage loans period over period.
The Company intends to retain for its portfolio certain originated residential mortgage loans (primarily adjustable rate and shorter term fixed rate mortgage loans) and to generally sell the remainder in the secondary market. The Bank will from time to time participate in or originate commercial real estate loans, including real estate development loans. During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company originated $39.0 million in residential mortgage loans, of which $4.4 million were retained in portfolio while the remainder were sold in the secondary market or are being held for sale. This compares to $15.4 million in originations during the first six months of 2008 of which $8.3 million were retained in portfolio. The Company also originated $13.7 million of commercial loans and $2.2 million of consumer loans in the first six months of 2009 compared to $17.1 million of commercial loans and $3.0 million of consumer loans for the same period in 2008. Of total loans receivable, excluding loans held for sale, mortgage loans comprised 45.5% and 47.2%, commercial loans 41.9% and 39.3% and consumer loans 12.6% and 13.5% at June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.

Ban the sale, ownership, and harboring of wild and exotic animals in Ohio
After dozens of animals escaped a 73 acre private collection today, October 18, 2011, in Zanesville, Ohio, 48 have been shot dead after their owner died and the gates to their enclosures were opened. These animals, at no fault of their own, have threatened the safety of people and domesticated animals in the surrounding regions and had to pay for this with their lives. Ohio has some of the most lax regulation of exotic pets, and after this disaster, it is apparent that this lack of regulation has been a threat to public safety and the welfare of the animals for too long. The collection of animals had been considered a bad situation for a quite some time by local law enforcement, but there was nothing that they could do to stop their owner, Terry Thompson, from keeping the animals nor to push preventative measures onto the property. And these animals aren't the only ones, hundreds of exotics are currently being kept as pets in the state without any regulation. Ohio is one of less than 10 states in the US that do not regulate the ownership of exotic animals. Owning a wild animal is difficult and causes them suffering with a lack of proper knowledge as to the handling and care of these animals by their owners. Wild animals have been known to attack, maim, and kill humans and domesticated animals without any warning and due to these circumstances, law enforcement have no choice but to destroy them. The best thing we can do for the exotics and ourselves is to keep them in their wild, natural habitats where they belong by outlawing their sale and ownership in Ohio.

Looks like you are going to have to change the width of all the ul#nav li a tags, and they each have a class, eg ul#nav li a.home.
Is this a Genesis template?
Yeah, this is a Genesis theme. The nav is hard coded, though. I really struggled with it last time and you all helped me.
Susie, there a couple of things that I see missing...a css defined for class="healthy-menu" which requires a width and background position. All your other menu links have something like this:
ul#nav li a.franchise-info {
background-position: -230px 0;
width: 190px;
It's in there but just commented out since it was making a mess of everything. Sorry about that!
Also, it looks like the client has a new link called Coupon which does have a class but the nav-v2.gif needs updating to show 'Coupon'
nav-v2.gif image
Actually, the Coupon page is being removed, but I forgot to remove it from the code.
Sorry about that, guys! I posted and ran and didn't give much info. Bad me! It's been so crazy here. Anyway, I am going to try to get this finished today. Thanks for your help!

YOUNG riders from Astley and Tyldesley Cycle Speedway Club bagged second spot in the British Club Championships on Saturday.
The under 10s finished in the runners-up spot behind Kesgrave at Hull to claim their second top-two finish in three years.
Ben Dickinson won heat three in the final, while a storming start from Emily Burgess off the outside grid in heat eight saw her take the win and put A&T one point adrift of Sheffield at the half way stage, with Kesgrave having pulled clear in the lead.
The Team Green riders finished strongly, with Dickinson taking his second win of the match in heat 14.
A&T scorers: Emily Burgess 13, Ben Dickinson 13, Joe Quarmby 10, John White 3, Charlie Burgess 3.
The club got off to a poor start in their Northern League Division One match at Heckmondwike, before the Luke Jamson/Joe Allen pair bagged a 7-3 in heat nine to reduce the deficit to two points.
Reece Pollitt and Allen took a 6-4 win in heat 13 to level the scores.
A great start by Paul Graham saw him round the field to join Jamson for a 7-3 heat win and Adam Phillips then secured the second place necessary for A&T to secure a narrow 76-74 win.
A&T scorers: Luke Jamson 18 (plus 1 bonus), Reece Pollitt 15, Adam Phillips 13 (1), Joe Allen 12 (2), Danny Hughes 8 (2), Paul Graham 8 (2), Mark Graham 2.
A&T's under 13s riders kept up their winning ways with a 96-61 victory at Heckmondwike to remain top of the Northern League Division Three table.
Max Evans raced unbeaten, while young Charlie Burgess pulled off two great passes.
A&T scorers: Max Evans 16, Matt Snell 14, Joe Quarmby 13, Emily Burgess 12, Ben Dickinson 11, Alex Semtyshin 9, John White 9, Charlie Burgess 8, Max Quarmby 4.
The junior riders made it three wins from four in the Manchester League Grand Prix Division Two.
In the under 10s match Dickinson and Joe Quarmby dropped only one point apiece, with Emily Burgess a further point behind. Max Evans raced to a 16-points' maximum in the under 13s match.
All four A&T riders put in a decent shift, with Adam Phillips and Reece Pollitt won a race each in the seniors' Division One match.

Sept. 18 – BETHANY, W. Va. - Despite a two-goal effort from senior Arkangelo James (Pittsburgh, Pa./Baldwin), the Bethany College men's soccer team fell, 3-2, to the Pioneers of Marietta College on Wednesday evening at Bison Stadium.
Just four minutes into the first half, James received a nice touch pass from teammate Lamine Balde (Guinea, Pa./Williams L. Sayre) in the box and placed it on a nice touch past the keeper for the first goal of the game and a 1-0 lead.
The Pioneers equalized the score in the 28th minute when Marietta sent the ball long and it was chased down by Wesley Riley. After a botched clear attempt by the Bison allowed Riley to gain possession, the junior put it past keeper Callum Appleby (Maidstone, United Kingdom) to tie the game at 1-1.
The Pioneers would then notch the go-ahead tally in the 38th minute, once again off the foot of Riley. After a great save by Appleby deflected the ball to the left of the box, the ball was won by Andrew Matakovich, who found the feet of Riley. Riley was then able to put it past a Bison defender, into the open net to put the Pioneers on top, 2-1. The teams would go into the half with the Bison trailing by the same score.
In the 64th minute, the Pioneers added another goal. Off a free-kick from the far-side, 45-yard line by Scott Elimann, Riley made a good touch pass to the attacking Lucas Eick, who beat the keeper on the short side of the net to put Marietta up, 3-1.
James and Balde would strike again in the 70th minute to cut the lead in half. After collecting the ball and streaking down the sideline, Balde crossed the ball from the 20 yard-line to James, who volleyed the ball into the net without letting it touch the turf. James' 11th goal of the season cut the Marietta advantage to 3-2.
Over the final 20 minutes of regulation the Bison managed four more shots, putting two on goal, including a great chance on a header by James, but Bethany could not complete the comeback and fell by the score of 3-2.
Over the course of the contest the two teams played evenly, with each team registering 14 shots. The Pioneers put eight shots on goal while the Bison registered seven. The teams also played even on corners, with each team collecting three in the contest.
For Marietta, Riley led the way, notching two goals, one assist and five points in the contest. Eick notched a score and Scott Eilmann finished with an assist.
For the Bison, it was a great day for James and Balde as James notched four points, scoring both goals for Bethany, while Balde added two assists in the contest.
With the two scores, James is now just two shy of third place on the all-time goals list. James now has 59 over the course of his career, just two behind Sandy Mick's 61.
Balde, who came into the contest tied for third in the conference in total points, now has 13 on the season.
In goal, Appleby was saddled with the loss for just the first time in his last three games, as he made five stops on eight shots on goal.
The Bison will be back in action on Saturday, September 21, when they visit Carnegie Mellon University. The match with the Tartans is scheduled for a 1 p.m. kick-off.


text: Tomorrow DS(almost 4) and I will go to Disneyland Paris. It'll be the first time we will sleep there since Merlijn was a baby (june 2007). My husband and my oldest son Burton are at scoutscamp so they won't join the fun. But that means more time for mommy and Merlijn to spend together So this is Merlijn. Since he is turning 4 in 3 weeks and will go to kindergarten after summerbreak, he had a farewell party at his pre-school. And this is me next to Merlijn at our favorite Chinese restaurant in the Hague (the town next door ) We will stay in Disney's Hotel Santa Fé which is greatly themed in a route66 theme, expecially the town Santa Fé. But you will find a crashed flying saucer somewhere and brokendown cars and roadkill carcasses etc. I just love this hotel, and its the cheapest of the bunch too. We got this hotel with a 40% discount. I decided to go with the Half Board vouchers. So we can have dinners on a discount. The discount was even higher than with our Shareholders Pass, so we wanted to go with it. First I went with the Standard vouchers, which allows you to eat a full meal (appetiser, entrée, dessert and drink) at 8 restaurants in the parcs. Including my all-time favourite Agrabah Café. But I really really want to eat at a couple of other restaurants too, so I decided to upgrade the vouchers to Plus. For the first time ever I've decided not to wing it with the meals so I actually made dining reservations. :hehe: Tomorrow at 14:00 we will eat at the Blue Lagoon restaurant which is actually situated inside the Pirates of the Carribean ride. Thursday we will eat at Walt's An American Restaurant on Mainstreet And later we will have high tea at Lucky Nugget Saloon with Disney Characters. We will celebrate Merlijns birthday there. I'm really curious how he will react. Friday we will watch the Buffalo Bill's Wild west dinner show with Mickey and friends. It is not in the meal plan (at least not in the one we have) but we got 18% discount because we booked a package instead of room-only. We will be seated first category. That mean we will have a pillow under our bums, have nacho's during the show and tea with sweets afterwards. We will see if its worth the extra 12 euro's to sit first category Saturday we will have early lunch at Lucky Nugget Saloon It's a character buffet all tex-mex. Not my type of food, but I like the characters being there. Things to see: Disney's Fantillusion Parade Disney's Enchanted Fireworks Panoramagique; Disney's first hot air balloon that allows you to view the area at 100 meters height It will be the first time that Merlijn will go into Big Thunder Mountain, he had to grow another 1cm last year. We will return home Saturday in the late afternoon: we will head back to Paris by RER and take the Thalys train back home. I hope I can trick my dad to pick us up from Rotterdam station, because we will be really really tired. Thats my pre-trippie for now Wait a couple of days for the real trip-report EDIT: I've edited this post to make the TR better readable and to have only my own pictures in this TR.

Discussion in 'Hunting Reports Africa' started by krinker, Oct 31, 2011.
Has anyone hunted with Wayne Van Den Bergh of Zimbabwe... NYAMAZANA Safaris?
He's a good honest man! Very good hunter with 25 odd years experience!. He works for himself so is very conscious of his reputation...also a ZPHGA member. Has a lot of Bow hunt experience too!
I hunted with Wayne in 2009 while he was working for another PH. Very good hunter and I would highly recommend him.
My two sons, brother, and I hunted with Wayne in May of this year on a 14-day hunt for plains game. A huge success for all of us, would rate him the highest you can give. Everything first class and very reasonable. We shopped online for months and were well rewarded. I can give other references. What eyes on this guide! And he knows every bird you'll see, not to mention bushmen ruins, etc. What a trip.
MT export
Never hunted with him personally however have heard nothing but positive reports from friends who have. Zim is a great place in general. (Last I knew). And Zim PH's are ranked as some of the highest trained PH's in Africa. None of that 2 week course South African License, these guys know every detail of their craft.
God Speed & Good Hunting:
"Montana export" above is my father - as he mentioned we hunted together last summer with Wayne. I've noted elsewhere that what impressed me the most was that Wayne listened closely to us when we described the hunting experience we were looking for - and that is exactly what he gave us.
I recommend him.
That's Wayne and my brother with my brother's 58" Kudu, and all of the havoc we collectively wrought among the four of us.
Thanks for your input Cossack! That's one beautiful Kudu that your brother took... Always nice to hear good hunt reports.
I hunted with Wayne in 2010 for elephant, croc, and hippo. We took 2 nice bull elephants, 2 hippos, and a 17' croc. He does a great job. It was a hard but successful hunt. I recommend his services. Hal Atkinson, Raleigh, NC
Welcome to AH...
Would you like to share some of your pictures and a story of your safari?
I have done some fishing with him, a good man that I would like to hunt with some day.
I hunted with him in 09 for ele and plains game. He was a freelance PH when my US agent left me abandoned in Vic falls with no camp booked. Wayne drove to get me from Bulawayo, what a guy. Very honest, an outstanding PH. By far the best of my 5 PH's, he told me exactly what to expect and he delivered everything he said he would. He was the first to take the time for the photography, look at the pics on his website, no blood, sticks and no rush to the next trophy, did not smoke and his alcohol consumption was nil. Now with his own company you can speak to him direct, no booking agent. Be honest with him, tell him what you must have, want, and would like he will not promise what he cannot deliver. I will return to hunt with Wayne, would like a croc, hippo next time.
He is one of the guides that I am considering for my 2017 leopard hunt. So far I just heard good things about him
You won't go wrong!
Hope to hunt with him in 2017 (or 2018 )
If I am lucky with my draw in Kodiak Island, then I will hunt with Wayne in 2018

Today, one of the bushes is just loaded with these gorgeous blooms so I skipped out between rain showers and snipped some for the kitchen table.They send a romantic fragrance throughout the room almost as strong as lilacs do. These roses are much like the variety that grow all along the shores of the Island and they conjure up all kinds of wonderful memories from my childhood. My father used to take us camping at the beach in the summertime and even then, I loved to stop and smell the roses. What kind of memories do roses bring to your heart?
Have a lovely and rose-scented day everyone!

"Lady Antebellum is like the hillbilly Fleetwood Mac," inebriated host Kid Rock opined from Nashville's CMT Music Awards stage back in June. "Except I suspect they don't do drugs or sleep with each other." Ba dum-bum. Except maybe Kid could've added that the trio also doesn't sound much like Fleetwood Mac ever did, unless the mere fact of relying on male-female harmonies, plus a certain vague throwback mellow-gold atmosphere and architectural production touches (some of which are quite beautiful), count. Truth is, they're not even the most Mac-like act on the country charts (and not just because the Dixie Chicks had a No. 2 country hit with a cover of "Landslide" eight years ago). But more on that later.
If inclined, Kid could at least argue that, in terms of sheer popularity and inescapability, Lady A fill a commercial niche congruent to the one Mac filled in 1977. Even though it has several gazillion copies to go before it matches Rumours, Need You Now was still far and away the biggest-selling album of 2010's first half, according to SoundScan eclipsing Justin Bieber's My World 2.0, the runner-up, with 2,355,000 to his 1,387,000. Most of those sales starting with nearly half a million in the first week alone have probably been owed to the genius drunk-dialing title track, which came out as a single way back in August 2009 and immediately ingrained itself more indelibly than any soft-rocking sap in years. It was followed up by another country chart-topper, "American Honey," whose amber waves of grain (or fields of corn?) almost made February feel like May. And then that was followed by the pianofied yacht-country of "Our Kind of Love." But the album's other real standout is the video-but-not-yet-radio hit "Stars Tonight," an undeniably sing-alongable, open-air summer stadium anthem propelled by meaty riffs and gang shouts straight out of the '70s party-rock parking lot, or maybe The Clash's "Should I Stay or Should I Go," take your pick.
Beyond that number, though, Need You Now actually comes off less energized than Lady Antebellum's likewise ubiquitous self-titled 2008 debut, the grittier moments of which didn't bother disguising their Matchbox Twenty or Nickelback genes. Which isn't to suggest the current album doesn't have yet more potential hits on it: "Perfect Day" isn't as perfect as, say, Taylor Swift's "The Best Day," but it's bouncy enough. And "Ready to Love Again," the set-closing rebound ballad, is a grower. But Fleetwood Mac? Not really any.
Antebellum, of course, are hardly the only co-ed harmonizers in Nashville these days who, in the '70s, might've made more sense in Los Angeles. There's of course Sugarland, who are huge and who sometimes almost sound New Wave; there are young upstarts like The Harters and Jypsi and Gloriana. And most of all there's Little Big Town, who have been earning Fleetwood Mac comparisons at least since "Bones," from their excellent 2005 breakthrough album The Road to Here, swiped its mood and rhythm directly from "The Chain." The foursome sounded even more startlingly confident and, in "Fine Line" and "Evangeline," possibly even more Mac-like on 2007's A Place to Land, which added moves from The Eagles and The Doobie Brothers and Neil Young into the mix. Both of those L.B.T. albums ranked with the best albums of the years they came out, in any genre.
And now, a couple years after leaving indie Equity Records for Capitol and covering The Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town" with Sugarland, they've put out The Reason Why. " Little White Church," the overwhelming centerpiece, a holy-roller stomp with blues-rock guitars and a woman holding out for her wedding ring, actually preceded the new album by several months. The title track, which opens the set list, starts out subliminally like Tommy James' "I Think We're Alone Now." There are two good train tracks, the louder of which borrows a title ("Runaway Train") from Soul Asylum and closing riff from T. Rex and concerns messing up while escaping out West. "All the Way Down" does do a groovy Fleetwood Mac sway the only noticeable one on the entire record. But the rest is mainly just lush uplift and sweet four-part harmony some a cappella, some bluegrass, most ditching L.B.T.'s earlier foreboding edge and hitching Lady Antebellum's happy ride onto the Adult Contemporary Truck. Perhaps the novelty of being a Fleetwood Mac without Stevie Nicks' witchy voice or Lindsey Buckingham's eccentric guitar, not to mention screwed-up Buckingham-Nicks relationship issues to draw on in their lyrics, is beginning to wear thin. Which means Nashville might have a void to fill.

Teen Solves Rubik's Cube in 7.36 Seconds to Become World Champ [VIDEO]
You could say 17-year-old Feliks Zemdegs is pretty good at solving Rubik's Cube. The Australian teen turned in an impressive time of 7.36 seconds at the Rubik's Cube World Championship in Las Vegas. 575 people from 37 countries competed for the title at the three-day event.
7.36 seconds isn't exactly the world's fastest time. Dutchman Mats Valk holds the world record of 5.55 seconds, but he came in second to Zemdegs in this year's competition.
How fast can you solve Rubik's Cube? I've been working on it since 1974 when it cam out, and still haven't made much progress.

Connie Mack: Akin's rape comment as offensive as Biden's 'chains'
Connie Mack joins a growing list of Republicans who have condemning Rep. Todd Akin's rape comments, which may have ended Akin's U.S. Senate campaign in Missouri.
But Mack adds that the remarks are as "just as outrageous and offensive" to those by Vice President Joe Biden, who last week before a crowd filled with African Americans said Republicans seeking to deregulate Wall Street would put people back in chains.
"Like Joe Biden's comments last week, I find Todd Akin's comments made Sunday to be just as outrageous and offensive," Mack said. "Such insulting and offensive remarks from Joe Biden and Todd Akin have no place in our political discourse."

Smoked Salmon Scrambled Eggs
Smoked salmon scrambled eggs are a healthy and delicious way to enjoy scrambled eggs. This easy salmon recipe makes a great breakfast or weekend brunch.
Breakfast is pretty straight-forward in our house. Most mornings we make a couple of scrambled eggs, toast and fruit. My son usually asks for his favorite oatmeal. On school mornings, I tend to grab a smoothie to go. Every now on then on the weekends, I wake up and cook up a big batch of pancakes. Nothing fancy, just the basic good breakfast food.
When I want to treat the hubby to a breakfast that I know will make him happy, I pick up a package of smoked salmon, some cream cheese and some good bagels (have you ever tried these? Love having them in the freezer!). He introduced me to lox and bagels years ago and its something that we love having every now and then. Especially on lazy weekend mornings.
A couple of weekends ago, he came home with some smoked salmon and since I can't really have it while I'm pregnant (or can I? Is smoked still raw?), I decided to slice up some of it and add it to some scrambled eggs instead. It's been a while since I cooked up smoked salmon scrambled eggs, and it is still so good! To keep things light, I paired it up with a slice of multigrain toast and a shmear of cream cheese with some freshly chopped chives sprinkled over it all.
Smoked salmon scrambled eggs are the perfect weekend breakfast, in my opinion.
Scrambled Eggs with Smoked Salmon
Yield: serves 2
- 4 eggs
- splash of milk
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter
- half of small onion, chopped
- 2 oz smoked salmon, sliced
- good pinch coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- a couple of tablespoons freshly chopped chives
- In a small bowl, whisk eggs well. Add a splash of milk and whisk some more.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add oil or butter to pan and melt. Add your chopped onions and cook for about 3-5 minutes, until soft.
- Add whisked eggs to pan. Using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula, gently stir the eggs until they start to firm up.
- Add your smoked salmon to the pan and continue to gently stir until eggs are completely cooked. Season well with salt and pepper. Sprinkle freshly chopped chives over eggs and serve.

Oh how I wish smoked salmon would make my husband happy! He would cringe if I offered this to him (but the eggs and bread, well, he would dive into that!). I, on the other hand, would love this. Thanks for sharing (and thanks for stopping by my blog!)
I love breakfast food and this looks like a perfect start to the weekend!
Great take on scrambled eggs! Love this!
I love smoked salmon – this sounds amazing!! And BTW it's totally safe pregnant. Smoking cooks the salmon just like smoked ham or smoked turkey leg or anything else. 🙂 DO IT UP!! xoxoxo
Smoked salmon is the BEST and those eggs looks incredibly delicious!
Such a perfect breakfast!! I LOVE this!!
I grew up on lox and bagels. My grandparents used to bring in the absolute best from Chicago when they'd visit. There was nothing like it. Love love love me some of this breakfast!
Yum- so simple yet fancy. This would be a fun easy bfast to serve company. I love eggs by the way- can't get enough of them!
Totally craving breakfast now!
Aggie…..Ray's bagels are my absolute addiction & are always in my freezer!! They are INCREDIBLE, aren't they? I love the plain so much that I've never ventured to try any other flavor. Have you?
I love toasting them and eating them spread with kerrygold butter. I also love using them as the base for my Chicago dogs (so I guess it's essentially a Chicago dog bagel lol). Mmm……
Simple and delicious!!! Love it!
Such a scrumptious and easy breakfast! I love it, Aggie!
I'm a breakfast lover and often have it for lunch or dinner too. Love smoked salmon with eggs. Divine 🙂
Such a smart way to dress up plain old eggs! My husband really enjoys smoked salmon, so I will definitely be making this for him soon 🙂
These look delicious, Aggie! I love smoked salmon and eggs together. Perfect!
This looks fantastic, Aggie! Love all that fresh fish in fluffy scrambled eggs!
3 of my favorites: Eggs, Salmon and Milk. Definitely gonna try this one! However, I hope my cooking ends up like the images you took! But probably not I guess!

A Gallery Show for Nail Art? Yes, Really
Photo by Jessica P. Ogilvie
A gallery show centered on art of fingernail adornment lends itself, naturally, to skepticism. After all, flamboyant fingertip art is the province of the Katy Perrys of the world: entertaining, but not the stuff of art exhibits.
So at the opening of "Nailed" at Subliminal Projects in Silver Lake on Friday night, our expectations ran low.
And at first, it seemed like our hunch was right; the show initially read as an homage to fashion excess. Oversized gold and rhinestone rings designed to envelop the entire middle finger were carefully cradled in lavish, purple velvet-encrusted boxes in the front room. Further back, press-on nails decorated with beads, Gucci symbols and tiny lettering were delicately balanced on pedestals. On the walls hung photographs of models wearing nothing but acrylics.
Photo by Jessica P. Ogilvie
It was becoming tempting to write the show off as a Vogue spread come to life until artist Carlos Dzine Rolon, who created the rings, explained that his inspiration came not from pop culture, but from listening to women gossip about their lovers and ex-lovers in nail salons.

"Nail salons create a sense of identity and of community that I wanted to capture," he said. "People go to talk about their lovers, to hang out, to hear their native tongue."
And with that in mind, the show began to emerge from its superficial trappings. The middle-finger rings suddenly radiated the strength of women whose stories of jilted lovers and romantic pain come pouring out over acrylic paint and sudsy water in salons the world over. The press-ons became a suit of armor, designed to let the wearer glance down and be reminded of the community standing behind her.
No longer about accessory overload, one could almost hear the rallying cries of "He's not good enough!" and "you deserve better!" emanating from each tiny piece of art.
Besides, if we're going to go down that road, what better way is there to tell an ex to fuck off than to slowly unfurl a middle finger festooned with rhinestones, a gold-plated Playboy bunny and a one-inch brass spike at the tip?
The exhibit could certainly be viewed as a primer as to what's what in digit decoration. Massive, Gaga-like rings = good. Acrylics that exuberantly celebrate capitalism = stylish. But we left with the distinct sense that the real beauty of nail art runs much deeper than the tips of anyone's fingers.

My favorite deep value screening technique, which involves the hunt for net/nets, or companies trading below their net current asset value had some interesting results during 2013. At the end of 2012, there were just seven stocks that qualified as net/nets; an all-time low in my umpteen years of researching and writing on the subject. That group, has had a decent but certainly not great run, considering the overall performance of the markets this year, and are up an average of about 40% year to date.
The best performers were Westell Technologies (WSTL) and Axcelis Technogies (ACLS), which were up 118% and 75% respectively. The worst performers were Imation (IMN), -2%, and Richardson Electronics (RELL),+1%. FormFactor (FORM), +35%, Trans World Entertainment (TWMC), +23%, and RadioShack (RSH), +27% round out the list.
If you thought that the net/net cupboards were bare last year, it's even worse as we end 2013. At this writing, and barring any major upheaval in the markets over the last week of trading for the year, we will enter 2014 with just two net/nets with market caps greater than $100 million.
Both of them are repeats from last year, Richardson Electronics, and Trans World Entertainment. Richardson currently trades for 0.95 times net current asset value, and has a solid balance sheet. The company ended last quarter with $132 million, or just over $9 a share in cash and short-term investments, and no debt. The company is currently profitable, marginally so, but also yields 2.2%. The company is followed by just one analyst, and gets very little attention.

Since a new study just revealed that more women are waiting until the age of 35 to have their first child, this new tidbit of info makes sense. A woman in Winter Park, Florida, just biologically conceived and delivered her first child using IVF at the age of... 46.
The Orlando-area woman and her husband never had a child, but using her own biological eggs and specialized reproductive hormone therapies, she delivered a healthy baby boy.
Mark P. Trolice, M.D, oversaw her treatments at the Vivere-Winter Park Fertility Laboratory and used traditional egg-harvesting and embryo implantation along with the hormone therapies. The pregnancy didn't go smoothly, however. Her cervix needed emergency suturing to keep the baby inside her uterus until maturity, and was in the hospital for 10 weeks. She gave birth at 31.5 weeks and delivered her son via C-section, who's now a healthy 8-month-old.
"Playing a role in the life of my patient and her son was a real honor," says Mark. "Though against the odds, we employed IVF techniques that now may provide some women the chance to become mothers and grow their families."
Although the rates of IVF success varies from center-to-center, the chance of getting pregnant does depend on your age and why you're having trouble getting pregnant, since being older presents different challenges. According to the American Pregnancy Association, the live birth rate for a single IVF cycle is approximately:
- 30 to 35 percent for women under age 35
- 25 percent for women ages 35 to 37
- 15 to 20 percent for women ages 38 to 40
- 6 to 10 percent for women ages over 40
Would you undergo IVF at the age of 46?

"It's research and we don't know what's to come of it. It's not like pass or fail, you did it or you didn't. It's learning new things every day."The projects are varied, depending on interests of the overseeing faculty. One group is developing a more environmentally friendly reaction for pharmaceutical compounds while one makes plastic bags from sugar beets and another develops a process for inhibiting a protein often found in cancer.For Trevor Trombley, a senior at Chico High School, the summer program taps into his passion for chemistry."I like how it's structured and follows a set of rules," he said. "Just doing math wasn't enough. I want to use it to solve real-world problems and get real-world answers."That's exactly what he hopes to do with his research under the guidance of Professor Dan Edwards. They are weakening eight different antibiotics and injecting them with bacteria to see what the components trigger, spending their days growing samples in an incubator and analyzing them.Edwards said it's great to work with such young minds and the energy they bring to the research."They are at the beginning of their scientific career," he said. "Part of what motivates you to do science is finding something that has never been found before."Preparing to analyze a set of samples, Trombly smiled and nodded."Even though it's very far in the back of my mind, there is still this 'What if...'" he said.Henriksen is on the hunt to find a use for glycerol, the waste product created in the manufacturing of biodiesel. Every gallon of biodiesel produces a gallon of glycerol, which right now can only be burned, disposed of as hazardous waste or occasionally used as a dust suppressant on roads.She thinks it's possible to turn it into a deep eutectic solvent, an alternative to chemically derived solvents that can be used for running chemistry reactions. On Thursday, she was manufacturing biodiesel on her own and preparing to extract the glycerol for further tests.Thanks to the institute, Henriksen can now boast the title of being one of perhaps 100 high schoolers in the country who can run a nuclear magnetic resonance machine, said associate professor Lisa Ott, who is committed to ensuring her students have hands-on, practical experience."We don't spoon feed them anything," she said. "If they have a problem, they are gonna solve it."Jenelle Ball, a chemistry teacher at Chico High, smiled proudly as she surveyed her students' projects on a visit to the institute last week."It's amazing to me how the students have been successful in making that leap in a new environment," she said. "There are no known results. With ours in high school, we pretty much know what the outcome will be."Working under professors at the college level is immensely valuable, both for the experience and to put on college applications, said Chico High senior Omar Carey. His project analyzes sandalwood samples to identify levels of alpha-santalol oil, which is worth the same price per ounce as gold."I didn't expect how fast we would jump into everything and use these crazy machines," he said. "A lot of these methods and strategies I've never heard of or learned before, so I am learning it while doing the project at the same time."The Chemistry Summer Research Institute was formed in 2004 and offers participants a $3,500 stipend to cover 10 weeks of full-time research, with the high schoolers working part-time. The program is funded by grants, donors, industry partners and support from faculty and alumni.Not common at all colleges, the research typifies what takes place all year long in Chico State's chemistry program but gives students an opportunity to focus on it full-time. Most notably, it gives them experience that sets them apart from other applicants when furthering their education or careers, said department chair Randy Miller.While the department would love the institute to inspire the high school scholars to choose Chico State for their studies, it would just be a perk."We just want them to be successful," Miller said. "It's outreach to their community. You never know how it turns out. They may come back to teach. They may find a cure for cancer. You never know but it's all good."Contact reporter Ashley Gebb at 896-7768.VIDEO of the students talking about the experience Advertisement Subscribe to Home Delivery and SAVE!

Ask a Vet and Get Your Veterinary Questions Answered.
I am sorry to hear about this concern.
I am very concerned about the symptoms you have described.
The drooling and vomiting is more suggestive of a primary stomach problem.
My primary concerns for vomiting include:
- Dietary indiscretion (eating something you do not know about)
- Stomach or intestinal foreign body
- Something that was given to them (new food, new treat, human food)
- Intestinal parasitism (not just the worms, but the microscopic bugs like Giardia and Coccidia). They can cause vomiting also, not just diarrhea
- Toxin exposure would be less likely, unless you have reason to suspect exposure to a chemical.
- Less commonly, endocrine diseases like Addison's
- Generally, in older pets, I am also concerned about organ disease (liver, kidneys) and cancer.
Thank you.
However, you also describe coughing or hacking, and therefore, we don't know what degree a primary respiratory problem is present.
Like a bronchitis, a upper respiratory infection (bordatella included), or more importantly, a heart problem. Yes, the coughing can definitely be due to heart issues as well.
So, to answer your question:
Bordatella is only one of many types of very common bacterial infections that can cause a upper respiratory infection.
But, I am really bothered by the drooling/vomiting which really also suggests nausea.
Yes, bordatella infection can still occur with vaccination, but they can get over the infection a lot quicker with less complication.
Do I think this is bordatella. Not really. I am more concerned about some other systemic problem.
To help settle the stomach you could try one of the following drugs.
Pepcid comes in 10mg or 20mg tablets. You can give it every 12 hours.
Absolutely, I think it is time to get into a vet. Today. Definitely, well worth a veterinary examination, good listen to the chest, and some much better supportive treatment.
Most important:
If the vet gave a shot of baytril and DID NOT send home an oral antibiotic that was ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. If they truly did that, you need a new vet. To give a single shot of antibiotic with no follow up medication is bad medicine, in my opinion, and served no purpose.
Absolutely, well worth consulting a new vet, today, for a second opinion.
I hope you trust me on that point.
Hope that info is helpful.
If there is anything I have not covered for you, please use the REPLY button, and I will happily continue to chat. I hope you have found my advice helpful or informative. Please remember to inform me if you "accept" or please click the "ACCEPT" button (EVEN IF YOU ARE A SUBSCRIBING MEMBER). It is greatly appreciated. Please excuse any delays in my responses, as I regularly attend to hospitalized patients and daily examinations. REMEMBER: Even after you click "ACCEPT" and your question closes, you can still review our discussion and follow-up, if needed. Dr. Andy
He gave antinausea shot with prescription for Batril
Okay, so at least the baytril was sent home. That makes me feel better. Well worth a follow upvisit for better supportive care, and perhaps, some basic tests are in order.
Dr. Andy
We did bloodwork & temp yesterday
She showed high white cell count & higher than normal temp
Good. May be worth considering some x-rays at this point, and more supportive treatment. Ask for a antivomiting/antinausea medication called Cerenia. Once a day treatment, incredible stuff.
Ok thanks
It may really really be worth hospitalizing for a day on IV fluids to support him.
You are very welcome. Good LuckPlease remember to click 'accept" when finished.

Hi,I have looked more carefully at bug 279436. The fix which Branden Robinson referred to was supposed to take care of the problem on sparc64 when the machine does not have a PCI bus numbered zero.

What a wide range of nominees in contention for this year's Best Pop Vocal Album category at the Grammys. From a new U.K. songstress to James Taylor performing "Covers," the nominees are:
- Sheryl Crow for "Detours"
- Duffy for "Rockferry"
- The Eagles for "Long Road Out of Eden"
- Leona Lewis for "Spirit"
- James Taylor for "Covers"
As seen in past years, The Recording Academy tends to embrace more established acts, such as when Steely Dan won over Eminem in 2001 and Herbie Hancock one for Album of the Year last year.
With that said, it could again be the year for The Eagles as many of the baby boomer Academy voters love the iconic band's latest effort, "Long Road Out of Eden."
Meanwhile, Sheryl Crow is a reliable talent and her "Detours" album did not disappoint. With a similar style to the Eagles, these two nominees could cancel each other out… or not.
At the same time, Duffy has rocketed onto the scene with a fresh, smart album, "Rockferry." A retro feel with a modern twist, Duffy makes us appreciate music again.
Another new face this year, Leona Lewis, gained much acclaim for her "Bleeding Love" single, but the "Spirit" album as a whole is not as great as the other contenders. While James Taylor is adored, "Covers" is just that, covers of other work. Such an effort cannot be rewarded over original material.
Should Win: Duffy
Will Win: The Eagles

A five-month-old puppy was set upon in an unprovoked attack by two Jack Russell Terriers in Chippenham.
Claire Prangle has had to fork out £258 in vets bills after an emergency operation followed by a second when her Irish Setter's wound became infected.
She said she was subjected to a barrage of swearing when she asked the owners for their details.
She was out walking her two dogs at lunchtime in the donkey field near Sheldon School.
The terriers first went for her eight-year-old Irish Setter Spirit, who took fright and bolted. Spirit ran across Bristol Road and made her way home.
Miss Prangle said they then turned their teeth onto her young puppy Chase. They tore open his elbow before their owners managed to stop the attack which left him with a gash the size of a golf ball.
She said: "If my dog did that to another I'd be absolutely horrified. It can't have gone on for much more than a minute but it seemed to be forever, it was very frightening. Blood was pouring out.
"Poor Chase is very nervous when we go out now."
She is worried that a child may get hurt and is warning all her friends to be on the lookout for the two black, white and tan dogs.
"The field is next to a school," she said. "And if these dogs can do that to my puppy, what could they do to a toddler? You get a lot of old people and people with children in that field. I don't want this to happen to anyone else."
Miss Prangle, who works for Wiltshire Council, reported the incident, on February 1, to police and to the council's dog warden service.
She said: "I remember seeing them walk down the road with the Jack Russells just before it happened. I noticed them because I thought they looked a bit out of control. I think they were on the lead in the field as well but they didn't have control of them. When I asked for their details they were f'ing and blinding for ages, they had really foul mouths."
She has seen the dogs since walking along Bath Road into Chippenham town centre.
Section three of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 makes it an offence for the owner of a dog and any other person in charge of it at the time to allow any dog to be dangerously out of control in a public place. A dog is considered to be out of control if there are reasonable grounds to suspect that the dog will injure a person.
Any dangerous dog should be reported to the council's dog warden service immediately on 0300 456 0100.

Joe's Pub Launches ALBUM OF THE MONTH CLUB Variety Series with Ray Charles Birthday Tribute Today
In 1962, Ray Charles made history when he brought soul music and country music together in the same album: Modern Sounds in Country & Western Music. Now, more than 50 years later, just in time for the late legend's 84th birthday, Joe's Pub and the Album of the Month Club expand the palette by adding jazz, cabaret, Broadway, folk music, and bluegrass into Brother Ray's classic mix.
Tonight, September 23 at 9:30 pm, Joe's Pub presents the first in a ongoing series of shows celebrating great pop and jazz albums, during which classic songs will be explored and re-examined by a rotating cast of singers and musicians in styles covering jazz, pop, Broadway, cabaret, and blues. Curated by jazz and cabaret writer Will Friedwald, each show will explore the classic album from start to finish, with new interpretations of songs by contemporary artists. These performances will be affectionate and irreverent, respectful and gonzo--the idea is to compliment the classic recording, not to merely "cover" it.
For the initial show, which will also celebrate Charles' birthday, Album of the Month Club is examining a disc that came from an artist who virtually invented soul music and then set his sights on Nashville, thus creating a brilliant blend of rhythm and blues, country and western, with a lot of jazz inherent in the mix. The album was a 1962 bestseller and yielded one of the greatest hits of Charles' career, "I Can't Stop Loving You."
Among the singers rendering both traditional and off-beat versions of classic Ray Charles songs will be cabaret stars Nellie McKay, KT Sullivan, Natalie Douglas, Lauren Fox, and Marissa Mulder, acclaimed jazz singers Allan Harris and Nancy Harms, Matthew Saldivar from the Broadway musical Peter & The Star Catcher, sensational Staten Island-based vocalist Tony Babino, folk trio The Amigos, and performance artists, Poor Baby Bree and Puddles Pity Party.
Future shows in the Album of the Month Club series at Joe's Pub will include Frank Sinatra's September of My Years, Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde, Judy Garland's Live at Carnegie Hall (1961), Nat King Cole's After Midnight, The Beatles; Revolver, Noel Coward Live in Las Vegas, Tom Waits' Small Change, and hopefully many others.
Joe's Pub at Public Theater is located at 425 Lafayette Street near Astor Place in Manhattan. For reservations and information, call 212-967-7555 from noon to 8 PM Monday through Sunday.

Fletcher Moss Rangers are full of pride over the success this season of their former junior star Ravel Morrison.
The club's chairman, Ron Jamieson, admits leaving Manchester United for London and West Ham United has been the best move for the midfielder.
"You could always control the football side of things in his life," Jamieson told the Manchester Evening News.
"He loved the game so much you could just say to him 'no football this week for you, Ravel, if you keep on doing that' and he'd knuckle down.
"He had connections to Wythenshawe and Longsight, he knocked around with street kids so he had to be mentally, as well as physically, tough.
"You haven't seen the best of him yet, he's maturing all the time. Deep down he's a nice lad. We're proud of him."

McCain: Red, White and Outsourced
Sen. John McCain paints himself as an all-American hero. So why has he opposed "Buy American," the law for government and military contracts?
In fact, not only has he opposed the law, he also says he "firmly objects" to it and has called it "ludicrous."
This week, he ducked a campaign visit to a Harley-Davidson plant in York, Pa., because—ooops—those Buy American provisions would have required the government to purchase American-made motorcycles.
As recently as 2003 and 2004, McCain voted to waive Buy American laws for defense systems and to exempt six European countries from Buy American requirements—effectively allowing products from those countries to be considered U.S. made in government and military contract bids.
When it comes to military contracts in the aviation and maritime industries, McCain not only embraces foreign corporations over U.S. workers. He wants foreign corporations to play a bigger role. In 2000, McCain voted to ease laws banning foreign control of U.S. airlines. Then he went even further: He voted to allow foreign control of U.S. airlines and to allow foreign airlines to operate on U.S. routes.
U.S. aviation workers already are struggling to maintain jobs, wages and health benefits in an industry rife with bankruptcies, mergers and failures. McCain's support of foreign airlines threatens U.S. jobs and would cause a race to the bottom for wages and outsourcing jobs.
McCain's job-killing votes go way back. In 1989, he voted to send defense technology and aviation manufacturing jobs to Japan as part of the development of a new aircraft weapons system. And then he went even further: He voted against an amendment requiring that U.S. firms share at least 40 percent of the work.
The cornerstone of U.S. maritime commercial law is the Jones Act that requires U.S. ships with U.S. crews on domestic port-to-port shipping routes. The act helps maintain U.S. jobs and a trained seafaring workforce and prevents unfair foreign competition. McCain has said he wants "to get rid of the Jones Act" and has actively worked to kill the Jones Act. He even introduced a bill to waive the requirement that U.S.-flagged ships be built in U.S. shipyards with U.S. workers.
These Senate votes by McCain to bleed the nation of family-supporting jobs are literally unknown. But they demonstrate his push for European-based EADS to get the Defense Department's $35 billion air fleet tanker contract and the recent revelation that he is behind the potential loss of 8,000 jobs in Ohio aren't isolated incidents. McCain has packed his campaign with job killers. Rick Davis, McCain's campaign manager, lobbied for the deal to kill Ohio's jobs. Randy Altschuler, who advises companies on how to ship jobs overseas, is giving McCain economic advice.
As McCain said when asked about America's lost jobs:
I can't tell you these jobs are ever coming back. The old jobs aren't coming back.

Malawi's frugal independence day
- By Hillary HurdHillary Hurd is an editorial researcher at Foreign Policy.
While most countries use independence day as an excuse for over-the-top indulgence, Malawi's new President Joyce Banda has a more modest interpretation. As her country prepared to celebrate its 48th year of independence from Great Britain, Banda made it clear that this year's celebrations would be more, well…responsible. While celebrations under former President Bingu Wa Mutharika were lavish and fun (for some), they were also expensive. And so, in keeping with her track record of fiscal responsibility –in contrast to her jet-setting, free-spending predecessor Bingu wa Mutharika — Banda decided to save some party money (roughly $400,000) and host a national worship service instead.
Standing before a packed hall of worshipers in Blantyre she called for collaboration and diligence moving forward:
I thank God for the dedicated team of personnel he has given me. Together, we make very brilliant plans for the nation. But no matter how hard we might try, if those below us frustrate such plans, we won't achieve anything."
Hopefully she at least had desert.

An American engineer called John Elfreth Watkins has been receiving posthumous plaudits for the accuracy of predictions he made in the year 1900 about how the world would be in the early 21st century.
Among his "strange and impossible prophecies" were the mobile phone, digital photography, television, webcams and ready meals.
Inspired by Mr Watkins, here is our forecast of how humankind will be living in the year 2100:
Loading article content
TV sets, computers, game consoles, phones and other devices have been replaced by a silicon chip inside the head. With so much information bombarding the brain, the silicon chip will often get switched to overload. Nobody's gonna go to school, she's gonna make them stay at home.
A reader intervenes: "Didn't Bob Geldof already predict most of this in the song I Don't Like Mondays?"
Yes, but he missed out the bit where 99% of the films and TV programmes streamed straight into the brain are repeats. The BBC and the US networks have been taken over by Dave. They're re-running Have I Got News for You from 2012 when David Cameron resigned as prime minister. There's only the Danes left making the 102nd series of The Killing.
The reader asks: "Will we able to read all about it in the newspapers?"
No, the last edition of the last printed newspaper, the Daily Mail, ceased in 2050. Couldn't get their delivery vans through congested traffic on the M25 caused by immigrants.
"What will the weather be like?" says the reader trying to change the subject.
Mainly cloudy. In fact, there is a computer cloud over everyone's head. It's very handy, containing all your phone numbers, Facebook profile, details of bank overdrafts, and your latest score on Angry Birds. If you look closely at the cloud, you can see what you're having for your tea.
The reader asks: "So what's likely to be for tea in the year 2100?"
Search me. Or better still search tesco-greggs.com on Google. But be assured your tea is ready-made.
"What will happen, this persistent reader says, when the electricity and silicon runs out?"
Scientists are working on alternatives. A phone which comes in a red box the size of Dr Who's Tardis. It's pay-as-you-go with two buttons, A and B. And there's an exciting new cloud device called steam radio.

Home Depot Alters Voting, But Critics Seek More Change
Published: August 30, 2006
Home Depot, the largest United States home-improvement retailer, took another step yesterday to repair its image with investors after an acrimonious annual meeting in May, announcing that it had revised company bylaws to require that each director be elected by majority vote.
But shareholders and corporate governance experts seem reluctant to stop pressing the company for further changes, including revisions in executive pay policies and director oversight.
Indeed, the A.F.L.-C.I.O., which is a shareholder, has a meeting scheduled on Sept. 7 with Bonnie G. Hill, head of the Home Depot board's compensation committee, and Dennis M. Donovan, the executive vice president for human resources.
In June, the labor federation called on Ms. Hill to recoup any gains from stock options that were improperly granted to Home Depot executives and to push for the resignation of Kenneth G. Langone, a co-founder and director who served on the committee governing stock options.
Home Depot has said that the Securities and Exchange Commission is conducting an informal inquiry into its stock option grant practices after the company's own review found five instances of misdated options from 1996 to 2000.
Home Depot said yesterday that director elections would require a majority vote starting with the May 2007 meeting. Previously, the director candidates with the most votes won, meaning that directors could be elected or re-elected even if the holders of most of the shares voted did not endorse them.
The stockholder proposal was supported by 56 percent of votes represented at the May meeting.
At that meeting, at least 30 percent of shareholder votes were withheld from 10 of the 11 Home Depot directors, including the chairman and chief executive, Robert L. Nardelli.
In a statement yesterday, Mr. Nardelli said, ''Listening to our shareholders, learning from their feedback and maintaining ongoing dialogue are top priorities for the Home Depot.''
