Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
I am disputing a few items on my credit report. I have had six items deleted on my Experian report. I am trying to find a contact address or email address for EOS CCA Corporate. I have a mailing address but I don't know if it is the right one. I want to contact someone who can get the job done and talking to the representatives isn't doing it. If anyone has any info on how to get to the right person please help! Thanks!
Check your PM.
Can someone please send me an Email for EOS also, trying to get a pay for delete with them.
Check your PM
Thank you!
Hey, would you also be able to PM me this information? I EOS CCA has 3 accounts listed on my CR for AT&T. I did go into collections with AT&T, but it should only be once. I would like to get that corrected, and then I want to negotiate a PFD if possible.
Check your PM!
I emailed them and asked for pay for delete and never got a reply back. I checked my Equifax and Experian today and the collection is gone from both. Should I pay the collection and hope they stay off my reports?
Thanks so much! Once I finish validating this debt from the OC (I still don't believe I should have 3 separate accounts), I will work on a PFD or something.
If anyone needs an email address for an EOS CCA rep that handles Verizon accounts, feel free to PM me. Their relationship with Verizon is that they're contracted out to pursue collections for them, but negotiating a PFD isn't something that they have the authority to do since they don't own the debt. Plus even though Verizon outsources their collection activities to EOS CCA, Verizon is still the one reporting to the CRAs, not EOS CCA. I had to basically threaten legal action when they couldn't produce sufficient validation of the debt in order to get them to finally send me a letter stating that they were returning the account to Verizon. I'm waiting for Verizon to get back to me about our offer to PFD. I'll let you know how it works out.

My two hours as a guest on Rick Vanderslice's e-radio program was a hoot. The co-host was Queerliberaction's Blake Wilkinson, and we got into a bit.
The first half of the show, we talked in part about Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives, and we were all in agreement: Censoring the movie, especially without seeing it, is over-reaction. But free speech issues took a turn in the second half. That's when Blake advocated prior restraint laws that would prevent certain forms of what he called "hate speech" — not hate crimes, but speech itself. As a lawyer and an adjunct professor who has lectured on first amendment issues at SMU, this worries me. How is calling someone a "tranny" not hate speech but calling someone a "fag" (as in "God Hates Fags") is? To be clear, I do see the distinction; I just don't know how you legislate it before the fact. And I explained my position.
"I guess everyone at the Voice hates me now," Blake said on the air. "Of course not — I don't hate you," I responded, and I don't. All good.
Then we went off the air. That's when Blake began muttering about how he tired of the "damned condescending attitude of everyone at the Voice," or words to that effect. He stormed out without saying goodbye. (The callers and the engineer all voiced their concern about limiting speech, too.)
Personally, I don't think it's condescending to disagree with a political activist, who uses the term "queer" in his group, that it's a slippery slope to worry about banning speech. There's a lot of speech I'd prefer not to hear, but we have to endure it in this society. Blake was drawing many distinctions about how far the ban would go — for instance, whether a gay person could use anti-gay hate speech (he can, he said, if he's "part of the community"), and whether any hate speech is directed at an historically oppressed class (which he defined as gays, blacks and women, among others, but not gypsies or the Irish in the U.S., at least; the military is fair game as well). Frankly, I am concerned that calling a woman "a bitch" could land me in lockup, especially if she is one. And honestly, I don't want someone who calls me a "dirty homo" to go to prison … otherwise, I'd never be able to interview Lisa Lampanelli.
Anyway, it was a fun debate, sorry if you missed it. I'd tell you to listen the next time I'm on, but guessing my invitation to be a regular guest is revoked now.

Marouane Fellaini release clause expires
Everton manager Roberto Martinez has confirmed Marouane Fellaini's release clause in his contract has expired.
• O'Farrell: Everton season preview
It was reported that the midfielder had a release clause of £22 million in his contract, fuelling speculation that the likes of Manchester United or Arsenal could activate that term.
However, Martinez, who took over from new United boss David Moyes at Goodison Park this summer, has suggested an exit for the Belgium international is now unlikely.
Martinez said: "Marouane had a clause that was very straightforward, but that finished on July 31. Everyone was a bit expectant. We now focused on adding to the squad."
Left-back Leighton Baines has also been linked with a switch to Old Trafford, but Martinez is insistent that his key players will remain on Merseyside.
"I'm not concerned at all. I'm looking internally at our squad and this (speculation) is normal. Until it closes, you will get speculation," the former Wigan manager said.
"Not just at Everton but every other club. Up until now, all we have done is talk about speculation. Now this is the start of the season and we can look forward. It does not affect us internally.
"We need to make sure we start the season well and we want to close the window with the strongest possible squad. Then you can evaluate. This is not a moment to set targets in terms of points."

I have a small .png icon (32x32) with rounded corners and transparent background that I want to convert to .gif. I will use it on different background colors that's why I want it transparent.
Here is the .png file:
Here is the .gif file:
If you view them on black background, you will notice how the .gif file looks bad. How should I do the conversion so that I will not lose transparency?
Thanks for any ideas.
The original has some shadow on it that the gif format is struggling with. Why do you need it to be a gif? You could trim off the shaddow first and then save as gif. That will give a better result.
I don't really know what you have against the original image? Though you could decrease the colour depth to 256 and retain single transparency and have a smaller PNG-8 file instead of an outmoded GIF but you aren't likely to get the same smoothness as the original and still have the same issue it will be full transparency only.
I will use it on a mobile site. (JPG and GIF are recommended, PNG is not yet.) Do you think it will be safe to use PNG?
The best I could achieve with a .gif is this one:
But the corners are not smoothly rounded. It seems .gif does not support transparency on colored pixels (indexed colors) hence it is not possible to have smoothly rounded corners with a transparent .gif file.
It's fine on the main smart phones like iOS, Android and on Opera Mini, but I'm not sure about other devices.
If I were you, I would use the original one in PNG and then add in a snip of coding to auto detect the smart phone OS and then if needed, substitute it with the GIF you posted just above. Cuz like ralph said, it's fine on the main smart phone OS' out there.
You do know that you are using a 24-bvit PNG? PNG24 supports alpha-channels, that is semi-transparency, gif and PNG8 doesnt. The "nice" shaddow" color you see is really multiple different levels of transparency on the "black". As GIFs only have one level of transparency (on/off) what you are seeing is the "rounding off" effect. Anything that is more than 50% transparent will be opaque ( pure black) anything else will be totally transparent. If you want that smooth face you either have to fake it with a nontransparent image, or use PNG24.

Karmin Covers 'Started From The Bottom,' Calls Out Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea
Karmin. Remember them? The boy-girl pop group comprised of real-life couple Amy Heidemann and Nick Louis Noonan, who rose to fame with their impressive — if not a tad bit goofy — covers of popular Hip-Hop/R&B songs like "Look At Me Now" and "Superbass?" Sure you do.
Well, it seems that following the tepid critical reaction to their debut album, Hello, which dropped last year, the duo is feeling a bit under-appreciated. And they're back with another cover to let their feelings be known. Perhaps appropriately, it's of Drake's ever-popular 'woe is me' anthem "Started From The Bottom."
And while we'd ordinarily stay away from posting a video like this — what the hell, we'll take the bait — it's Heidemann's slick comments about Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks, among other topics, that made our ears perk up.
Heidemann spits: "I ain't happy seeing how it is/ Stop all the comparing me, no Nicki Minaj-erie/ Let me out the cage so I can fizz/ Cause all the femininity is looking for a rapper queen/ Banking on Azealia and Iggy/ Pretty damn amazing what you'll do to be a star."
Shots? Perhaps. But we think it's less of her dissing MCs than Heidemann just looking for some recognition of her own. Because there is no female rapper working today who possesses the level of virtuosity that she does who has been less celebrated. She even admits as much on the song.
"Rolling Stone dude gave us 1, hope you didn't notice when they put us on the cover, son," she raps. Later, she says she can't complain, because well, there's not that much to complain about. "We did 'SNL' with no music out," she quips. And she's right, things have been good on the industry level for Karmin.
But the group — and more specifically, Heidemann — continue to be critical punching bags. They're the Rodney Dangerfields of rap — they just get no respect.
But whether you think they're corny or not, it's difficult to argue that Heidemann isn't a pretty amazing rapper in her own right. Maybe you don't find what she's rapping about to be interesting — cool, not everything is for everyone — but at least give her a pat on the back for her technical proficiency. All things considered, she'll probably rap circles around most of the MCs in the game today, present females included.
What's it going to take for you to admit that she's dope?

Vanilla Ardour Plugins in Mixbus
Ok, if you miss in Mixbus the plugins that came with the Mac OS X Ardour package, I have found a simple solution, assuming that you have both packages loaded.
Make sure that neither application is running. Also note that while this worked fine for me, your mileage may vary, and, if you break it, you keep it, and it's not my fault... :-) Here's how I did it.
In my case, Ardour and Mixbus are in the regular Applications folder, so I opened the Applications folder in Finder, single-clicked then right clicked on Ardour, then selected "Show Package Contents." This brought up a Finder with a single folder, "Contents". I double clicked "Contents."
I then did the same sequence as above with Mixbus.
So I then had two Finders open. In the one for Ardour, I right clicked the Plugins folder, and selected Copy "Plugins". I pulled up the Finder for Mixbus, made sure I was in the Content folder, right clicked in the blank area, and then selected Paste Item. A dialog asked if I wanted to replace the existing Plugins. Once I was sure, I clicked Replace.
The next time I started Mixbus, the CAP, TAP, CMT, and other plugins I use very often were in their places and worked just fine.
I maybe mistaken, but I think the plugins are already there, it's just that they show up under the name of the author.
on my computer they do.
Or you know... you could just install the plugins via the packages on this site and have them in both without having to do this everytime you download a new Mixbus package;)
dhjoe the above is likely why they show up for you by the way.
By the way, 'Vanilla Ardour Plug-Ins' isn't really a good descriptor. They are LADSPA plugins, nothing to do with Ardour at all besides that Ardour loads the LADSPA plugin format, much like it can load AUs on OS X.
@dhjoe: The dmg that I downloaded when I purchased Mixbus a while back had a completely empty Plugins folder. Which is part of the reason I donated for the full Mac OS X version [EDIT: of Ardour, not Mixbus...drat H1N1!], which has plugins already.
@seablade: By "Vanilla Ardour Plugins" I'm referring to the set of LADSPA plugins that comes bundled with the Mac OSX Ardour as currently available. Sorry for my wording, it has been a long week with me, two of my five kids, and my wife dealing with the novel H1N1 aka 'swine' flu. So perhaps a poor choice of words; I know re-reading some of my other posts in the last couple of days I'm somewhat confused at my own wording.....
In any case, though, are the non-swh plugins that come packaged in the Mac OS X Ardour package available for separate download? I couldn't find them anywhere else, and I use the CAPS set more than the others. Some of the CAPS and TAP plugins (among others) are bundled in Ardour.app in addition to the swh set (which I found here); I'll admit that I didn't fire up Mixbus (while it still had an empty Plugins folder inside the Mixbus.app) after dragging the Ardour.app into applications but before copying the Plugins from the Ardour.app to the Mixbus.app; I assumed that Mixbus.app wouldn't look inside Ardour.app for more Plugins. So I'll reserve the right to be wrong on that. And I'll need to dig into the code a little to see what path the search for plugins is system-wide, because having a single Plugins install is more efficient than more than one....
Seablade is right, I did install the plugins way back when I first installed Ardour, that's why they showed up in Mixbus
once I installed that, so I was mistaken..
The system search path is in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LADSPA
There are a few installable packages I can probably get you the links to, it seems the page that did have them no longer exists. Gimme a bit(And remind me:)
The system search path is in /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/LADSPA
Cool. Much simpler, and, well, seeing what I've seen thus far in OS X, pretty logical. If only the macports uninstall was as simple... but it's done. I guess I can't do both my GNU Radio building and Ardour building on this OS X box (GNU Radio requires macports to run, not just build). OT: Using GNU Radio in OS X so that our pulsar researcher here can use his Macbook with a USRP and the swinburne TEMPO suite to do pulsar timing research with our 26 meter radiotelescopes... see pari.edu
There are a few installable packages I can probably get you the links to, it seems the page that did have them no longer exists. Gimme a bit(And remind me:)
I speculate that it might have gotten clobbered by the donationware/download enhancement [EDIT: No, it didn't... it appears to have been removed concurrently with the deprecation of the X11 OS X port, since the Native OS X port has LADSPA plugins bundled.]. I found the swh package (through googling for 'LADSPA OS X'), and tried to back up to the directory to see if there were any others, but got the donation download page instead..... Suggestion [EDIT: to Paul, not Seablade]: consider putting the links on the http://ardour.org/plugins page. [EDIT: Not really necessary except for those who want them in Mixbus. With Paul's permission I can post them in this topic, or I can host them here, for that matter. As a note, the Audacity download page either does or did link to the SWH set hosted on Ardour.org for Audacity for OS X.]
And if anyone has built a bundle of JAMin.... although in my broadcast, which I produced on Mixbus for the first time yesterday, I found that the Mixbus channel dynamics processors and the master bus limiter/dynamics processor/tape sat combination, with just a little EQ, sounds just as good on-air (on-air is after an Orban Optimod 9200) as JAMin ever did. But I wasn't hitting the multiband comp hard, primarily using the Boost, EQ, and Limiter in JAMin. Mixbus does all those without plugins; the EQ might not be 30 band, but it is sufficient for my purposes. And the tape sat in Mixbus sounds substantially smoother than JAMin's Boost. Mixbus for me was worth the effort and the cost.
Perhaps that last paragraph belongs in a topic thread under How To....
@seablade: I found the four that used to be on the osx_system_requirements page. It makes sense, now, as the native OS X includes 117 LADSPA plugins; the four links I found were more for use with the now unsupported X11 build. Since you clued me in that there used to be a page with those links, I used the WayBack Machine to find them.
Which of course means my speculation was completely incorrect; the plugin download links went away because the X11 OS X Ardour went away, and the Native OS X Ardour doesn't need them.
Mixbus, on the other hand, might be able to use them (and I haven't tested that, nor will I likely test that, since I copied the 117 LADSPA plugins from my Native OS X Ardour.app to the Mixbus.app...)....
Yes a bundle exists of Jamin as I am the one that did it;) Sadly it is not great yet, primarily GUI responsiveness is horrible at this point any time it is processing audio. Do a search here and you will find the link.
primarily GUI responsiveness is horrible at this point any time it is processing audio.
Sounds not too different from Linux...at least with a lower-end machine, GUI responsiveness noticeably lags with JAMin. Will search, though, and maybe can help figure it out. [EDIT: found it and downloaded it]
Heh I have a patch of the work I did to get it to that point around here somewhere. I suspect my problem might be either in optimization of libfftw, or a threading issue, but I am not certain which if either. I have a list of things to fix on it in my email box, but other htings have to come first.

|This is hands down one of the best problems at Castlewood, if not the best.

|I have to agree with you completely. What's even better is that there are endless variations starting lower and lower in the cave, increasing the difficulty to up to v10 or so.

|The moves require super sweet body tension, but the last chuck for the jug is tainted by the swing into the block directly behind. I would say for the rating this is one of the best, but definitely not THE best. Try Punani or even Tiger Woods. The latter requires just as much tension but has a clean swing upon latching the toss to the jug.

|I said it may be the best, I'd have to agree that Punani and Tiger are the other contenders. I didn't hit the block on the dyno on cave direct, so maybe that's why I love it so much...I'm sure after/if I send Punani, I'll like it more...it is, after all...Punani.

|Where is the start exactly for the V6 at the rail straight below or on the low left rail? Also reading at castlewoodcanyonbouldering.blo..., the author says that a dab on the boulder doesn't invalidate the climb is this what most people agree to or have most of you figured out a way not to dab?

|But since when does Justin Jaeger count? He in-himself is a dab.

Thanks, Tom.
The dab allowance was originally mentioned Bennigfield's guidebook, and seems to be consensus with ascentionists. I was eventually able to send this rig without the dab with an insane amount of try-hard.
To not dab, in addition to climbing it from the slightly lower start and broken parts of this climb as of summer '09, would make this rig harder than most 9s in RMNP.
Just sayin'....
As far as I know, this climb has never been done from the lowest left start from the left-facing pocket down a tier. Some folks were close in '05/'06, but couldn't avoid dabbing on the block in the landing.

No worries thanks for the beta today. Had a great time.
Here's to the little dab! Salud!
What about Cave Route Direct Direct Direct? Starting on the jug and going straight up to the crimp. Match and don't go to the jug but jump to the crimp straight up. Eliminate par excellance. Came close today, but the finger hurt so I had to back down.

|Another large break:( The large hand hold in the corner of the first ledge system right where it starts to go diagonal is completely gone leaving a tiny sharp jib in its wake. Painful and hard. No comment on whether any harder, since I have never sent it, but it is definitely harder than last year. Come check it out.

Based on medium-tuned optical field enhancement effect around a self-assembled particle-lens array (PLA) irradiated with a femtosecond (fs) laser source, we demonstrated that high-precision periodical array of micro/nano-structures can be readily fabricated on glass surface or inside glass in large areas in parallel without any cracks or debris. The technique has potential for rapid fabrication of three-dimensional structures in multiple layers inside glass.

Columbia native accepts the position as City Manager
Wed, 09 Jan 2013 03:21:45 GMT —
COLUMBIA (WACH) -- Columbia City Council met Tuesday evening to vote on the employment contract for Teresa Wilson to take over as City Manger.
The majority voted in favor for Wilson's contract between her and the City.
The Columbia Native is a graduate of the University of South Carolina's School of Law.
Wilson was previously the City of Columbia's Assistant City Manager for Community Programs, Economic Development and Government Services.
Part of her contract which was voted on included her salary which is more than what City Manager Steve Gantt made.
Mayor Steve Benjamin says that they realized the salary for City Manager was too low in comparison to other City's in the South East, the same size as Columbia or smaller.
"I think that at the end of the day everyone will be pleased. I'm confident about moving into the position and making sure that our City moves forward, working with our staff to ensure that they have the things that they need to ensure the financial stability of our city," said Wilson.
Wilson beat out almost 30 other candidates for the position.

#18 Women's Soccer Pounds UC Irvine, 4-0
Pepperdine enjoyed a 15-6 edge in shots.
Sept. 14, 2012
Amanda LeCave scored twice to add to her league-leading total and senior forward Anisa Guajardo had a goal and two assists as the #18 Pepperdine women's soccer team pounded UC Irvine, 4-0, on Friday night in the first match of the UCLA Soccer Classic.
The Waves improved to 6-2-0 on the season and will face #3 UCLA on Sunday at 7 p.m. at Drake Stadium. The match will be televised by the Pac-12 Network and a free live audio broadcast will be available at www.pepperdinesports.com.
Pepperdine enjoyed a 15-6 edge in shots and senior goalkeeper Roxanne Barker (Irvine, Calif./Woodbridge HS) needed to make only two saves to earn her second shutout of the season.
The Waves only led 1-0 at halftime. Guajardo (Clovis, Calif./Buchanan HS) set up sophomore forward Lynn Williams (Fresno, Calif./Bullard HS) for a breakaway in the 26th minute, and Williams' shot was deflected into the net for her third goal of the season.
Guajardo set up LeCave (Windsor, Calif./Windsor HS) for the Waves' second goal too. Her through ball gave LeCave room to score in the 63rd minute. Then, just a little more than a minute later, Guajardo got on the scoreboard for the fifth time this season when she headed in a corner kick from junior defender Michelle Pao (Cupertino, Calif./Monte Vista HS).
LeCave began the day with seven goals, leading all West Coast Conference players and ranking sixth nationally. She added her ninth tally of the season in just the eighth game when she took a pass from sophomore defender Micaela Cervantes (San Diego, Calif./Mission Bay HS) and curled a shot into the goal in the 73rd minute.
UC Irvine fell to 3-6-0 on the season. This equaled the most lopsided victory in the series history (which the Waves now lead 8-4-2), with Pepperdine also winning 4-0 at home in 1999.
Goals: Lynn Williams (Anisa Guajardo), PEP, 25:12; Amanda LeCave (Anisa Guajardo), PEP, 62:13; Anisa Guajardo (Michelle Pao), PEP, 63:38; Amanda LeCave (Micaela Cervantes), PEP, 72:06.

Connecticut Expansion Project
On March 11, 2016, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued Tennessee Gas Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (TGP), a subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity for the company's proposed Connecticut Expansion Project (CT Expansion). The project received an Environmental Assessment from the FERC in October 2015.
On April 12, 2017, the FERC approved TGP's notice to proceed requests for tree clearing and full construction.
The project will upgrade TGP's existing system within New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut. The expansion project is developed to meet increased demand in the U.S. Northeast for transportation capacity for natural gas, a clean, environmentally friendly energy source produced domestically.
The project consists of approximately 13.42 miles of 24-inch and 36-inch diameter pipeline looping in Albany County, N.Y., Berkshire and Hampden Counties, Mass. and Hartford County, Conn., minor modifications at one compressor station in Mass., and installation of minor appurtenant facilities. Looping involves the installation of new pipeline segments adjacent to and connecting with existing pipeline to add incremental capacity. A benefit of looping a pipeline is that land and environmental/habitat disturbance can be kept at a minimum.
Gas utilities Connecticut Natural Gas Corporation, Yankee Gas Services Company and Southern Connecticut Gas Company have signed long term agreements with TGP for the additional transportation capacity that the CT Expansion Project will add to the TGP system. The CT Expansion Project will provide approximately 72,100 dekatherms per day of additional firm transportation capacity.
The cost of the project is approximately $93 million, and it would create an estimated 175 temporary construction jobs.
The project is expected to be placed into service on November 1, 2017.

PARIS (Jul. 26)
A protest against the verdict of an unofficial investigating committee clearing Vladimir Poliakoff, publisher, of ex-employees' charges he "sold out" the Pariser Tageblatt to the Nazis was voiced yesterday by Dr. Georg Bernhard, former editor of the German emigre daily, in a statement.
According to the statement, the committee that investigated the charges was composed partly of Mr. Poliakoff's friends and partly of his business associates.
Dr. Bernhard insists that he possesses genuine proof of Mr. Poliakoff's alleged negotiations with the German Embassy in Paris. This proof has not been made public because it is confidential, the former editor of the Tageblatt declares, but will be produced before a French legal court.
The committee that investigated the charges against Mr. Poliakoff was under the chairmanship of Dr. Henry Sliosberg, famous attorney and champion of Jewish rights. Others on the committee included Vladimir Jabotinsky, head of the New Zionist Organization, and Justizrat Dr. Werthauer.
Dr. Bernhard and his associates, who now issue a new paper, the Pariser Tageszeitung, had refused to appear before the committee, declaring they would testify in the defamation suit brought against them by Mr. Poliakoff.

ax Flatow is a precocious, social miscreant who has a way with home-made explosives. When he tires of these, he runs away from home only to emerge seven years later as Max Frost, the world's most popular entertainer. When Congressman John Fergus uses Frost as a political ploy to gain the youth vote in his run for the Senate, Frost wills himself into the system, gaining new rights for the young. Eventually, Frost runs for the presidency. Winning in a landslide, he issues his first presidential edict: All oldsters are required to live in "retirement homes" where they are forced to ingest LSD, taking the 60s catch phrase "Never trust anyone over 30" to its most extreme consequences.Overview from themoviedb.org

Oh how I do love the full-bodied goodness of Jodie Gasson. One of our featured celebrities recently wrote me with a request I not refer to her as a 'plus sized' model. Indeed, if only they knew I meant 'plus extra lust' when I'm describing our most curvy of visual treats in there here part. Sure, you can go beyond the curvy into something less delightful, but girls with what other girls like to call 'real bodies' always float my boat, raise my tides, and simultaneously sink my battleship with their soft fleshy goodness.
Jodie Gasson makes me want to be a man with longer arms and a couple more hands. All the more to delight in the playground that is her festive female form. Some men do prefer the skinny girls, and while I appreciate all shapes and sizes of alluring fine ladies, there's definitely something to be said for the girls who have a little jiggle in their giggle when they wiggle. And that thing is 'Please, don't stop'. Enjoy.

Survive The End Days Review
In simple words, "Survive The End Days" is a guidebook about surviving the upcoming judgment or the final end days. It was written by a theologian and teacher, Nathan Shepard, which based this manual from the predictions found in Biblical writings, especially the Book of Revelations.
Nathan Shepard reveals the things that we have to prepare for before the day the world ends, which seems to be on January 1, 2017. Before we reach this end date, Nathan warns us about an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) that will shut down all power sources and cut-off all our electrical devices. We all know what could happen if this will ever be true.
With the purpose of helping the general public surviving the post-EMP devastation, Nathan Shepard came up with the Survive the End Days program to enable us to prepare and learn how to live through the hard times….
What Will You Learn In The Survive The End Days Program?
Nathan Shepard's guide starts with some tips on how to sustain adequate food for your family and keep them from spoiling even without a fridge. After that, the guide reveals a secret to storing heat-sensitive medicine, and then talks about unexpected water sources that you and your family can use throughout the event.
Other topics that Nathan Shepard discusses in the Survive the End Days guide include methods on how to survive a long term power outage and how to protect our electronic devices from the surge of EMP.
You will also learn about the few items that you need to keep after an EMP. Most of these are required for producing heat, storing water and keeping your food safe to eat. Nathan Shepard also discusses the 7 must-have medical supplies that you and your family need in case of an emergency.
Last but not the least, you will gain knowledge on how to keep your kids and the rest of your family hidden and safe from invaders and aggressive looters. These are essential things that would let you and your loved one survive the end days.
In addition to the main guide, The Survive the End Days package also includes the following manuals:
1. How To Survive The Next Nuclear Attack
This guide is comprised of the Do's and Don'ts during a nuclear attack. Some points include coping up with radiation sickness, reacting to the first few hours of the attack to minimize radiation exposure, finding clean water after the attack, recognizing edible foods and turning your home into an atomic shelter. It also consists of a psychological advice on how to calm yourself and your family during and after the incident.
2. Chemical Wars Survival Guide
This bonus guide lets you know about the different types of chemical weapons and how to quickly identify them. It talks about ways on how to create a survival plan and make basic survival gears that would let you survive the war…
Potential Advantages
Simple and Straightforward
Survive the End Days is written in such a way that anyone would easily understand it. The book briefly discusses the details about what's really happening in the outside world in a straightforward manner.
It's simple, yet full packed with necessary details.
Keeping You And Your Family Safe
Life does not have any monetary value and anything that can save our family from harm is priceless. Something like the Survive the End Days program can help keep your family safe and secure during the predicted upheaval.
Affordability does not only refer to the guidebook itself, and all the measures provided in the handbook also do not require a large sum of money to execute. Generally, you will be able to perform simple survival techniques using the very basic objects that you can find in your home.
Money Back Guarantee for Two Months
The Survive the End Days program is backed with a 2-month money back guarantee. This means that if you feel that the points provided in the guide are not useful at all, you can have your money back.
In our opinion, two months is more than enough time to determine if the program would work for you and your family or not…
Potential Disadvantages
Requires Time and Practice
We can't learn anything in an instant, and the same is true when it comes to Survive The End Days.
This manual takes some time to read and requires actual practice to perfectly execute the recommended techniques. It is not an on-the-spot manual, but a learning tool to let you prepare for what it is to come.
Only Digital Copies Are Available
Nathan Shepard says that in order to lower the cost of the Survive the End Days program, he offers the guide only in a digital copy.
If you always prefer having a hard-copy in hands, you may want to print everything at home by yourself…
Survive The End Days is a handy manual full of necessary information and techniques that you would need in order to thrive during the scriptural catastrophe. Because it is based on the Bible's prophetic revelations, there's no harm to believe that the end day is fast approaching.
Although it has its cons, we personally find this manual a useful tool which we believe could save the lives of many.
Moreover, since Nathan Shepard provides a 2-month refund policy for the Survive The End Days package, you can simply try the program without having to risk your money…

As a singer-songwriter working in a genre, Americana, where it is common practice for two or more writers to book meetings where they will write songs together, Baker is a loner.
Words have to fit his singing style - which he concedes is not graced with wonderful technique - or he will not sing them. A phrase he is not happy with will not be sung. Whole songs have been discarded because of a rogue word Baker did not like but somehow could not replace with another word that felt natural.

But if you think the Austin, Texas-based Baker's songwriting is fastidious, you should try getting him to do a painting for you.
"Oh boy, I am worse at completing paintings and drawings than I am songs," he says, having just arrived for his latest UK tour.
"People commission me and they don't take delivery, they get visitation rights. It is like an estranged dad coming to see how his kid is getting on, getting to take the painting out in the car for a run. Well, it might be if I can find it - my place is chaotic, with walkways through canvases. But it is like songwriting, if I could master the 15- minute song, I would have a huge catalogue. If I could paint quicker, I might be able put a plate of food on the kitchen table without having to move painting materials - or song lyrics."
Baker has earned the right not to hurry things. His response to the trauma that affected him when a terrorist's bomb exploded on the train that was about to take him to Machu Picchu in 1986 and left him at the mercy of the surgeon who repaired his femoral artery and saved his life might have been different.
He could have treated his time as something that had to be occupied at every opportunity, tried to achieve as much as possible. That would have been an understandable reaction.
Instead, he has realised him ambition gradually. When he last spoke to The Herald, in 2007, Baker was just beginning to make an impression in America and was about to play overseas for the first time.
Never, as he would freely concede, a virtuoso guitarist, he had managed to switch to playing left-handed due to injuries received in the bomb blast. He made an album, Mercy, in 2004, that he assesses now as a good album in a world full of great records that get attention.
He was still working on a building site at the time and had had to overcome stage fright that was so bad he could hardly speak. Audiences who have caught him subsequently might find this hard to believe - he could talk for Texas on stage now.
After a year and a half of gigs at a roadhouse-diner on the outskirts of Austin, where people were initially more interested in eating and getting drunk, his stagecraft developed to the extent he could get the audience on his side and listening to his songs, which he sings in a very individual, compelling way.
A second album, Pretty World, in 2007, reached a wider audience at home and found favour with influential radio presenters on both sides of the Atlantic, including Radio 2's Bob Harris.
Baker's gig diary started filling up and despite suffering from hearing loss, another effect of the bomb blast, that left him completely deaf in one ear and with only 50% hearing in the other, Baker was able to cope with working on festivals, where soundchecks can be minimal. Eventually, he was even able to afford the luxury of touring with a band.
"My hearing difficulties are tough but everybody has problems, you just have to get on with things," he says. "I have a hearing aid that lets me hear all the high end stuff and closes out all the outside noise and I have learned to position myself so I get the best out of the on-stage monitors.
"Plus, as long as I can feel the kick drum, I can stay on the beat. It has really been as much - or more - about the band accommodating me than me accommodating them, and other than singing and providing a foundation, I stay out of the way and let them do all the beautiful things."
For the tour that brings him back to Scotland this weekend, Baker is reverting to just voice and guitar, a modus operandi that allows him the freedom to re-introduce songs that have dropped out of the band set-list. He can also go off-script if the urge strikes, although he has come through the phase that saw him flirting with stand-up comedy a visit or two back.
"I still chat to the audience, of course," he says. "But there was a danger for a while that the humour might detract from the songs rather than enhance them. I have a new electric guitar, which I can hear better, so I am really enjoying working with that and getting the songs across. But then, I just enjoy my work generally these days because any day that is not spent on a construction site I am in paradise."

One of the old families of New England that through many generations have resided in that portion of our country is the Willey family, to which the subject of this review belongs, and his birth occurred in the Green Mountain state. Born at Wheelock, Caledonia county, Vermont, March 9, 1827, he was a son of Stephen W. and Judith (Richardson) Willey, both of whom were natives of Vermont, in which state their marriage was celebrated. The paternal grandfather, Stephen Willey, was born in New Hampshire and was descended from English ancestry. Through the various generations the family were tillers of the soil. In religious belief the grandparents were Freewill Baptists. They reared six children, namely: Josiah; Micajah; Stephen; Peggy, the wife of J. Engles; Lucina, who became Mrs. Slifield; and Mrs. Sally Fairbrother.
Stephen Willey, the father of our subject, spent his boyhood days under the parental roof, assisted in the work of the farm and by the terms of his father's will became the possessor of the old homestead, whereon he reared his family and died. His wife survived him for a few years, but also spent her last days on the old home farm. She was a daughter of Jonathan Richardson, of New Hampshire, who followed farming throughout his entire life. Mr. Richardson's children were Jonathan, Joseph, Bradbury, Sayrles, Malachi, Judith and Mrs. Lucy Nelson. The Richardson family were also connected with the Freewill Baptist church. Judith Richardson gave her hand in marriage to Mr. Willey and throughout their remaining days they remained upon the old home farm. As a young man he engaged in teaching music and was the leader of the band. He possessed considerable musical talent and his services in that direction were much in demand. By his marriage he became the father of four children, namely: S. R., of this review; George F.; Bradbury; and Luella, who became the wife of R. Walton and after his death married George Harriman.
S. R. Willey is the only member of the family living in Kansas. Until eighteen years of age he remained upon the old home farm and followed the plow through the summer months, while in the winter season he pursued his education in the common schools. At the age of eighteen years he began learning the blacksmith's trade and followed that pursuit for fourteen years. In 1852 he was united in marriage, in Lancaster, New Hampshire, to Miss Mary A. Raines, who was born in Jefferson, New Hampshire, August 13, 1832. Her great-grandmother was a noble and brave woman of Scotch-Irish descent, who lived near Portsmouth, New Hampshire, in the vicinity of the fort which she defended against a strong force of Indians when the men of family were at work in the fields. She lived to the ripe old age of one hundred and one years.
Mrs. Willey's parents, Samuel and Louisa (Miller) Raines, were both natives of the "old" Granite state. Her father was a blacksmith by trade, but afterward became a foundryman and lumber manufacturer at Lancaster, New Hampshire. He died in Rochester, that state, and his wife died on board a steamer while returning to her home in North Carolina. Both were members of the Methodist church. In their family were eight children: Webster M.; John; Joseph; Jonas; Mary A., wife of our subject; Louisa, the wife of C. Willey; Emma, the wife of J. Appleby; and Mrs. Clara Sanburn. The paternal grandfather of Mrs. Willey was Henry Raines, a New Hampshire farmer, whose children were Nathaniel, James, Harris, Henry, Abby and Sally. The maternal grandfather's children were Jonathan, a seafaring man; Mark, who operated a factory; Mary, Ruth, Eliza and Louisa.
After his marriage Mr. Willey, of this review, took up his abode in Lancaster, New Hampshire, where he remained for nine years. On the expiration of that period he removed to Wheelock, Vermont, where he followed farming for seven years. He then went to Delaware, where he worked at his trade for two years, after which he came by rail to Kansas and worked a rented farm near Troy for a year. He next purchased a tract of raw land on which he made some improvements, but after six years sold that property and came to Brown county. Here he purchased a quarter-section of land, upon which there were no improvements. He built a barn in which to live until a dwelling house could be erected. At Iowa Point he purchased a carload of lumber, which he had shipped to Falls City, whence he brought it by team to the farm. This was used in the erection of the house and in building fences. Mr. Willey broke his own prairie and soon made his farm a profitable investment, placing the fields under a high state of cultivation. He also raised and fed stock and for several years after coming to the west he taught band music, but his attention has been given mostly to general farming, and with the skill, enterprise and adaptability of the true New Engander has carried forward his work to successful completion. He is to-day the owner of nearly six hundred acres of very valuable land and is accounted one of the most prosperous and energetic farmers of his neighborhood.
In all his work Mr. Willey has been ably assisted by his estimable wife, who has indeed proved a helpmeet to him. They have also reared their children to habits of industry and economy and to the knowledge of the fact that in union there is strength. To this end they have all worked together and have thereby secured the valuable property which now crowns their efforts and Mr. Willey is recognized as an excellent financier.
The children of our subject and his wife are Charles, born August 4, 1853; James I., born June 8, 1859; Mary E., born July 27, 1867, and is the wife of George M. Poperwell; and George E., born January 17, 1870. Two of the children are married and reside near the old homestead, while the other two are still with their parents. Three of the children are members of the Methodist church and Mr. and Mrs. Willey have reared a family of which they may well be proud. In politics he is a Democrat and has filled some local offices, including that of school director. He is recognized as a broad-minded man, intelligent, enterprising and public-spirited, and those who know him esteem him highly for his sterling worth.

A Guardian is a Forerunner AI construct. They were used to keep "troublesome worlds" in-line during the age of the Forerunner Ecumene.
Operational HistoryEdit
In 2558, after being "cured" of her Rampancy, Cortana awoke an unknown number of Guardians in the galaxy. She turned them against sentient species, claiming the Mantle of Responsibility for the Created.
Design Details Edit
Appearance Edit
A Guardian consists of many polygonal pieces floating in unison to form an upright bird-like shape. They have a much more defined face. On all parts of the structure there are massive glowing circles having unknown functions. Their size is described as the size of a skyscraper and are made completely out of Forerunner metal.
Function and Behavior Edit
The Forerunners used the Guardians to keep troublesome worlds in-line with Forerunner laws during the age of their Ecumene. The way they achieved this is unknown; not much is currently known about their tactical capabilites. They are capable of near instantaneous slipspace travel through a self-formed bubble of slipspace. They also possess EMP capabilities able to sabotage every piece of technology on a planet and its surrounding space.
To help police solar systems, the Forerunners hid Guardians on numerous planets throughout the galaxy, and seemingly on every planet with life.

Kabul :An hours-long militant attack on a Kabul charity ended on Tuesday after all three assailants were gunned down by Afghan forces, the interior ministry said.
"Forty-two people including 10 foreigners were rescued," ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said on Twitter, confirming at least one fatality in the attack.
Earlier on Monday night, three massive explosions had shaken the central Kabul. Twin bombing followed by another a little lates by Taliban killed at least 24 people and left 91 others wounded.
The blasts victims also included high-level officials, including an army general, as the Taliban ramp up their nationwide offensive against the US-backed government.
A suicide bomber struck the area just minutes after the first explosion, in an assault apparently aimed at inflicting mass casualties as officials left the ministry after work.

Pam asked me a year or so ago to stop writing about poop, but an abnormal nightmare of a situation last weekend calls for an exception.
When I went in to greet Carson from his afternoon nap on Saturday, I screamed like a little girl.
Somehow during the course of his nap, Carson managed to remove his shorts and diaper. That would have been fine if it weren't for the fact he had a blowout of nasty proportions at some point while he was asleep.
Probably because he was under a blanket, this was not visible in the video monitor, but as soon as I began walking up the stairs I could smell trouble. I assumed it was just going to be a terribly messy diaper.
However, what I walked into was different than anything I have ever seen in my three-plus years of parenting.
Carson was standing in his crib with poop-laden arms and hands extended for me to pick him up. It was everywhere — behind his ears and knees, on his stomach, arms, legs, hands and back and even between his toes.
Somehow, and this is still a mystery to us today, he managed to get some books in his crib with him and they, too, featured some interesting new "bookmarks".
Amazingly, when I got to Carson, there was no crying, actually a few mischievous smiles and laughs that made matters even more disturbing for me at the time.
When I let out that high-pitch shriek, he only laughed harder, seemingly relishing the fact he had made a major mess and that it was getting a huge reaction from me. He knew what happened and that it was a big deal.
I didn't even know how to begin to clean up this situation, but the fact he was seemingly enjoying this made matters a little easier.
There was no quick fix, and I was trying to think fast on my feet. Eventually I wondered: what would Pam want me to do here?
Surely, she wouldn't want me to just flee the scene and pretend I didn't see it (my initial instinct).
After examining him thoroughly (and fighting back that initial desire to run away), I scooped him up and headed directly for the bathtub. For a couple minutes, I debated just taking the garden hose to him like I do when my dogs get into something nasty. I decided on the tub instead.
At that time, I knew getting him clean would be the easy part, it was going to be the crib, books, sheets, wall and carpet that was going to be the larger challenge.
Fortunately, Pam rose to the occasion, taking care of the daunting chore of ridding the individual spindles on the crib from you know what.
I love the unexpected aspects of parenting, but I have to admit this was not one of the most beloved moments. However, it's something we will never forget for sure.
Over the last few years, I have noticed injuries are inevitable during parenting, and I'm not talking about the kids.
Sure, my boys turn up with any number of wounds along the way. There seem to be a couple new ones every week or so, but I'm talking about us parents here in this instance.
With my boys, 3 years old and 21 months, there's a lot of the proverbial "heavy lifting" and at times there can be some mishaps along the way that cause a pinch here, an ache there and bruises all around.
I know it's crazy to say, but I'm pretty sure I wake up each morning sore because of parenting.
I'm close to positive that last year I had double hernia surgery because of too many rough goofball sessions with my kids.
Pam, for her part, suffered a herniated disk in her lower back a couple years ago, most likely due to carrying our bundles of joy around.
I remember thinking on Monday morning of this week how sore my legs were and how I could barely lift one arm above my shoulder.
Then I remembered it had to be from the weekend with the kids. Apparently, throwing Beckett up in the air dozens of time in the pool is not good for my left arm.
One night last week, Pam noticed a couple gnarly bruises on my legs and questioned how they came about.
I actually had no idea, but my guess was they were from Beckett jumping off my legs in the pool and from some rough kicks during swimming lessons.
That same night I noticed a sizable scrape on my big toe, which I later realized came from when Beckett dropped a tractor on my foot.
This is where some challenges arise. Oftentimes, kids inflict pain on their parents, unintentionally. And I'm not talking about the mental anguish that goes along with this daily adventure. To stave off a huge meltdown on their part, most parents try to play off the pain when their kids accidentally hurt them.
That's apparently what I did when he dropped this tractor on my foot because I barely remembered it until it started showing up on my toe. It was one of those bite the lip moments and try not to show it hurts.
My most recent injury, which happens to affect my work on the keyboard, is a jammed index finger that's too swollen as of this writing to pull.
That stems from a mishap involving giving the boys some helicopter rides the other night. Fortunately, neither of them got hurt.

Ken and Laura do Carbondale PA and vicinity...
...but not Simpson. More about that later.
I had originally planned this as a stop on the way to visit a retired co-worker in Binghamton, but it turns out he is coming in to Queens next week and we are having a reunion at Belmont race Track.
But, as my wife likes to say, I had a "bee in my bonnet" about heading up to Carbondale anyway, so I decided to take a one day roadtrip on Saturday. My wife figured that spending most of the day in an air conditioned car was better than doing the gardening in the hot sun and decided to join me.
Roadfooder and local NEPA star Joe Rogo made some great suggestions for additional stops even though we weren't able to hook up.
In just about 2 hours door-to-door we were entering the first of Joe's suggestions, Catalano's Deli, at 150 South Main in Scranton. I love places like this. Local Deli, people shopping for the day, not for the week or month. Friendly atmosphere. When you enter you are greeted by a huge stack of wrapped Italian hoagies on the counter, at only $3.50 each. People were buying baskets full. We bought 2 ourselves and had them the next day. Excellent quality bread and meat. Terrific deal for $3.50.
We also got 10 slices of thier bakery pizza, most of which my son devoured when he got home from work that night. My wife and I got to have a couple slices each though, and they were great. Sweetish homemade sauce and good quality dough. We had a nice conversation with (I think) Paul Catalano. He came up to us when he saw my wife looking over the cannoli shells and gave her some tips on cannoli making, although in the end we took his recommendation and bought some ready made ones (delicious, according to my wife and daughter).
Then it was a 5 minute drive to lunch at the Glider Diner. They are noted for the thier hot open face sandwiches. We worked well as a team here (hardly ever happens) in that we both couldn't decide between the Hot Porketta or the Hot Roast Beef, so we ordered one of each and shared. Outstanding, with a nice pile of home made mashed potatoes to soak up the excess gravy. We loved the 1950's-era decor too.
Then it was on to Olyphant and Bosaks Meats (another Joe Rogo suggestion), 524 Burke ByPass. Very clean and wonderful smelling meat store. We bought a large kielbasy here. We had a slice of it by the car and thought it was great, great flavor and not fatty at all. I think this is on the menu for tomorrow night for grilling if it doesn't rain.
It was time for Ken to do his beer shopping, and after asking around, consensus led us to Clause's Beverage in Carbondale. I was able to get a case of Stegmaier Gold and Stegmaier Amber. I can buy 1000's of micro Beers in NJ, but I still love those old regional PA brands that are only sold locally. Another bonus was that they had Utica Club Beer, which I haven't seen in maybe 20 years, so I bought a case of that also. I'm set.
No luck on getting any Crystal Club soda (made famous by The Office) though, the guy at Clause's said it's been very hard to get.
Here's where things went a little haywire. Our next stop was to be Petrosky's Pierogies in the town of Simpson, just north of Carbondale. But my GPS never heard of Simpson. The I tried the same address (601 Main) in Carbondale, but that just kept sending me in a loop looking for 601. I stopped for directions, but was given the most convoluted instructions I've ever heard. My wife (correctly, as usual) reminded me that here we were searching for Pierogies 120 miles from home when there are 2 perfectly good pierogie stores within 5 miles of our house. Right. I suspended the search and headed to the next stop, Carwanna's Lunch at 54 Salem Av in downtown Carbondale.
Walking into Carwanna's was like walking into the 1920's, it appears that nothing has changed here since then. Tin ceiling, old wooden booths, the whole nine yard. Thier chili dogs may have been the best I've ever had. Terrific chili, not spicy at all, rather on the sweet side, covering a stubby locally made hot dog split lengthwise, all in a short rectangular fresh baked roll. Of all the food we had this day, it's these Chili dogs I am craving most right now. The two extra we brought home are long gone.
We wanted to take our daily walk at this point, but downtown Carbondale ddn't look very interesting at all, plus it was over 90 degrees, plus, um, nature was calling (no facilites in Carwanna's)
So even though we thought we could eat no more, we rallied for our next stop, Windsor Inn, in nearby Jermyn, home of what they claim are the world's 2nd best Chicken Wings (#1 being you-know-where in Buffalo, which is a dubious claim in itself). We sat at the bar (disappointing draft selection) I had an overpriced Harpoon Ale ($6, hey, this is Carbondale, not Manhattan) and my wife had a soda (Bless her, no $7 wine for her on a hot day). We ordered 20 wings from a not very helpful bartender. World's 2nd best? Maybe Carbondale's 2nd Best, if that. They were Ok, but not more than that. And small too. We finished about 10 of them and took the rest home. Our eating was done for the day (well, until about 9 that night, when the 2 remaining dogs called us).
Good husband that I am (sometimes) we made a totally wifey stop at American Candle on the way home and were back in Scotch Plains unpacking our food loot from a great day in NE PA by 8 PM.
Northeast PA is one of my favorite food destinations anywhere.
Thanks again Joe for the suggestions, and hope to catch you next time.

Voted "least likely to succeed"
Wednesday, Jun 11, 2014
* Wanna try and guess the odds of this bill's success?…
Anyone also want to lay odds on how Franks votes when Madigan is up for reelection in January?
Look, I like Jack a lot. Always have. He's a good legislator with some bright ideas. But he's far too in love with these press release bills for my taste.
I do suppose, however, that his proposal could spark some debate, particularly when it comes to certain editorial boards. And I would assume that his idea has lots of support. But, c'mon, unless he's willing to say he'd vote against MJM for Speaker next year, this ain't exactly a serious proposal.

Wolf pack putting livelihood at risk: Alberta farmer
Watch above: Alberta farmers say a roaming wolf pack is destroying their cattle and they're asking the province to step in. Kendra Slugoski reports. WARNING: Disturbing details/images.
WARNING: Some of the details and images in this story are graphic and may be disturbing to some.
EDMONTON – Farmers east of Edmonton are fed up with a growing a pack of wolves that has reportedly killed dozens of their grazing cows.
A couple dozen farmers put their cattle out to pasture earlier this year on the Cooking Lake-Blackfoot Grazing, Wildlife and Provincial Recreation Area, where they have a lease with the province.
They use the provincial land between spring and fall, at which time they bring their cattle back to their farms over the winter.
The farmers say the first cow was killed in May, and over the next few months the wolves kept coming back for more.
The farmers now estimate about two dozen cows have been killed by the wolf pack within the park boundaries as well as surrounding farms and pastures.
"I take real good pride of my cows and take pride in taking good care of them," said farmer Dan Brown, who is also with the Blackfoot Grazing Association.
"There's nothing more frustrating than watching them get killed and you're not allowed to do anything about it."
Brown added the cows – especially the younger ones – have been nervous.
"We know there's 29 missing total from the pasture, and we know that six of those are confirmed to have died what we deem natural causes… so that leaves 23."
"It's not very good," added Brown. "That's huge economically."
Another farmer, Ken Hesse, took 75 cows out to Blackfoot pasture this year. He's had cattle in the area for 25 years and says this is the first time he's had a major problem with wolves.
Hesse says he's had three cows attacked this year.
Two were killed in late May. The third was found alive on May 29, left with gaping wounds on its hindquarters.
Typically, the cow would have had to be put down, but since it was still eating, the farmer tried to help it. He spent two months treating the cow and washing out the wounds and the cow made an unexpected recovery.
Farmers are allowed to kill wolves on private property but not in provincial parks.
However, the province gave the Blackfoot Grazing Association special permission to cull six wolves within the park in early October. So far, three have been killed.
"That's a short term measure to reduce the wolf pack size, and we know that that will assist when the livestock return to grazing pastures in the spring," said Tim Chamberlin, with Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development.
But, farmers said it's too little, too late.
Most farmers had planned to move their cows from the pasture to their private farms a few days later anyway. Some farmers did so even earlier to protect their cattle.
"We've never said they have to get rid of them all but something has to be done," said Brown.
"The only logical reason they've been able to give me is this public outcry they're going to have.
"Well, what about our public outcry against them?"
The province says it has a mandate of conservation and preservation within provincial parks.
"Certainly wolves are part of the ecosystem out here, as are a number of other species," said Chamberlin. "So it's finding that balance and trying to minimize the losses between the wolves and the livestock."
Brown, along with about 75 other farmers, gathered in Tofield Tuesday afternoon for a meeting with the province.
The province has committed to creating a working group to find a solution, which will include doing a count on the size of the pack.
The farmers believe the wolf pack has grown to as many as 30, while the province estimates the number is between 15 and 20.
"We're waiting to see the numbers but we are also going to be talking about preventative measures and what both parties can do to try to satisfy the issue come the spring," said Chamberlin.
But farmers left the meeting unsatisfied with the province's plan, citing a concern the wolf pack will grow larger by the spring, leaving the farmers uncertain with what they will do with their cattle.
Brown says if something doesn't change, he'll either have to find private pasture – which is more expensive – or sell his cows.
"Then kind of what you've worked for all of your life is gone."
Farmers estimate they've lost at least $200,000 from the lost cattle and related expenses, like finding other pasture and lower weight cows.
The province offers some compensation, but Brown says it's not enough.
"As soon as it's deemed a probable kill … the most you can receive is 50 per cent," he explained. "I mean, that's nowhere near what they're worth, (but) it's better than nothing."
