About Dianabol
Bodybuilders' most prized physical attributes are their marvelous firmness, bigness and muscularity. Years of physical training, proper nutrition and helpful medications helped them in achieving the perfect body they want. Some people commit themselves to severe and strict exercise programs to build strength while others resort to supplements to achieve their full body potential in terms of muscle bulk, mass, tone and definition in shorter period of time.
Bodybuilding supplements must be very cautiously selected as they always pose potential risk to your health. It is therefore important to review the supplements' effectiveness and reliability. Dianabol is being advertised as a supplement with a maximum capability of providing a dramatic muscle size increase in a short span of time. Before choosing any other supplements to achieve your body's full potential, it is best to understand and thoroughly review this kind of anabolic steroid.
What is Dianabol?
Regarded as the King of Steroids, dianabol has been very remarkable with its ability to help build muscle and strength in a relatively short period of time. This anabolic steroid is also known as D-bol, a supplement that presents multi-faceted approach in building muscles and losing fat. Dianabol contains a powerful ingredient that triggers your body mechanism in yielding permanent gains in muscle and strength through wider array of metabolic pathways. The active ingredient of dianabol is methandrostenolone that acts in ergogenic fashion after being orally taken. Methandrostenolone is the most effective steroids for body builders trying to pack on the most amount of muscle mass in the shortest time possible.
Benefits of Dianabol
Dianabol is a powerful steroid that provides both androgenic and anabolic effects on the user. The drug contains a mechanism that functions as anabolic agent which increases protein synthesis and nitrogen retention. This build up of protein results in a positive nitrogen balance that produces positive effect on well-being. It further results in developing adaptogenic properties which allows the body to adapt to increased workloads and be able to combat fatigue.
Body building enthusiast can expect 2-4 pounds of weight gain per week for six weeks when taking dianabol. Dianabol can be used to ìkick-startî their cycle in improving their muscle pumps and strength. To achieve its full effect, it must be combined with proper diet and intense training.
Dianabol is also known as ìfeel good steroidî, dramatically improve mood, appetite, self-esteem and self-confidence. It creates a normalizing effect on all bodily functions that promotes mental and physical state, improved sleep and prevents excessive workout. Dianabol increases its natural normalizing effect as they relate to the synthesis of RNA during stress. It further prevents the body in avoiding catabolic stress that allows the bodybuilder to significantly perform at a higher level and recover quickly after strenuous training.
What about Dianabol's primary role. It keeps acquired muscle protein within the muscles. Dianabol stimulates strength gains in a very direct and fast-acting way. The drug has shown a significant elevation in insulin growth factor, a highly anabolic hormone produced in the liver and other tissues. It works in conjunction with your body's own insulin mechanism by stimulating the production of insulin mechanisms creating a temporary anabolic state. During periods of physical and mental stress, caloric restriction, intense training or infrequent trainings, dianabol aids in maintaining a state of overall anabolic metabolism. In other words, it prohibits the breaking down of protein to release amino acids for diversion to other areas, thus make your muscles more intact.
Things to Watch Out For
Although dianabol is a popular mass-building supplement, it is rarely used in pre-contest cycles. It heavily aromatized to estrogen and poses high propensity for estrogenic side effects which makes fat loss difficult. The drug also causes great deal of fluid retention which makes it unpopular as a contest drug.
Some people would ask about Dianabol's possible side effects. It falls under 17-AA steroid, an indication that it can cause considerable strain on the liver when taken in high doses over extended period of time. Increase in liver damage can also be noticed even in dose of 10 mg a day; however it tends to return to normal when dianabol intake is stopped. Gynecomastia is always a possible side effect for athletes who use dianabol because the drug readily converts into estrogens. High blood pressure and heart rate abnormality can also occur since dianabol quickly increases body growth and promotes excess fluid retention.

Bought drywall in the past 12 months? Read this
Thursday, January 17, 2013
Consumer Action has been informed by a law firm we work with about a potential lawsuit against companies that produce and sell gypsum drywall for the construction and remodeling of homes. The attorneys believe that these companies (see footnote No. 1) may have been involved in price fixing (see footnote No. 2). The legal action would seek refunds for consumers and the builders of homes that purchased drywall from these companies from Jan. 1, 2012 to the present.
If you purchased gypsum dry wall from these companies or you believe that the builder of your home or your contractor did, you may contact the attorneys for more information.

Hundreds vie for Premier Aviation jobs
More than 1,000 people who hope to work in a massive hangar overhauling aircraft either showed up for a Premier Aviation's job fair Wednesday or submitted resumes online.
"All in all, very well attended," Premier spokeswoman Susan Gottman said shortly after the end of the fair, held to rapidly staff the new operation at Windsor Airport, which Gottman confirmed will be up and running, bringing in commercial aircraft, by the middle of the year.
Job seekers arrived hours before the fair's 10 a.m. start. By the time it opened there were about 100 waiting with resumes in hand, hoping to land one of the coveted positions at the new aircraft overhaul centre. More than 600 showed up, and another 428 submitted resumes online.
It's expected between 200 and 300 will end up working at the 143,000-square-foot, $21-million city-owned hangar within the next few years.
Gottman said the company is looking for people with experience in aircraft maintenance, though she didn't know how many would be hired in this initial wave.
"This is wonderful," she said of the steady stream of applicants. "It's nice to see people here, it's nice to see people who want to be employed at Premier Aviation. We're very thrilled."
People were quickly divided between those with experience and those without. Those without filled out some forms, dropped off their resumes and had a quick conversation with City of Windsor staff who were helping to run the job fair.
Experienced applicants were ushered into a separate area where Premier human resources people conducted preliminary interviews.
"You highlight what you have," applicant Scott Harcus said after his interview. A machinist working at Windsor's Northstar Aerospace, he said he told interviewers about his experience, his skills and his capabilities. "When I got into aerospace, it was the only one in town," he said of his current job. "So this is a good opportunity to explore different things."
Another Windsor man with experience in aerospace machining as well as a background working on aircraft in the armed forces, came away from the initial interview feeling positive. "Absolutely, it looks good in there," he said, declining to give his name because he doesn't want to tip off his current employer. "The people in there were very friendly, they asked what I thought was a good starting wage and they asked if I could take some training in Trois-Rivieres," the company's headquarters.
Mayor Eddie Francis said Premier officials were "very pleased" with the applicants' level of skill and experience. And he said there's also hope for people lacking the required skills, because there will be training down the road as St. Clair College develops courses for people in the MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) industry.
Premier's opening sets the stage for more MROs to locate here, he said. "Premier's only one and Premier happens to be the anchor. There are going to be others that will follow."
The mayor said the hangar will be turned over to Premier by the end of April.
Applicants who had no experience didn't express disappointment at the lack of attention from Premier officials. They're hopeful their resumes will be kept on file and they'll get called should the company need general labourers.
"It's a shot in the dark for sure, because I don't have any (aviation) experience," said Pierre Baillargeon, 23, a college graduate who works part-time cleaning restaurant equipment.
Steve Patterson, 30, is another person who's underemployed, working part-time in shipping and receiving. "I'd like something better, something I can live off," he said. He sees Premier as a place where he can start at the bottom and work his way up. "Right now, I want to focus on one place where I can work for a long time," he said.
Nick LeClaire, 23, came from London where he's about to finish a college program in aircraft technology. "The timing is working out pretty good," he said of the job fair.
The number of experienced applicants was fairly high, perhaps because the job fair's advertising laid out specific skilled jobs, said Gottman. "We do train, we are affiliated with training facilities, but right now we are looking for experienced people," she said.
Bruno Ierullo, the City of Windsor's manager of organizational development, talks about the city's part in the event:

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
San Antonio, TX, United States, 2006/03/24 - Frost & Sullivan finds that bundled communications services constituted for more than 48 percent of the total consumer services revenues in the U.S. in 2005 and this is expected to increase to approximately 85 percent by 2012..
Emerging technologies and changing competitive dynamics are ushering in new growth opportunities for service providers in the market for bundled communications services. Telecom carriers and cable MSOs who can overcome the challenges and deliver more integrated service experience to customers, will come out as eventual winners in this fast paced and dynamic market.
Frost & Sullivan finds that bundled communications services constituted for more than 48 percent of the total consumer services revenues in the U.S. in 2005 and this is expected to increase to approximately 85 percent by 2012. For Canada, about 33 percent of the total residential services revenues in 2005 came from bundled services and this is expected to increase to over 78 percent by 2012.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants with an overview of the latest analysis of the North American Residential Bundled Services Market, then send an e-mail to Mireya Castilla - Corporate Communications at mireya.castilla[.]frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, e-mail address, city, state and country. We will send you the information via email upon receipt of the above information.
Cable companies have made strong inroads into the voice market using VoIP and now hold over 50 percent residential VoIP subscribers compared to less than 15 percent share held by the telcos. The telcos are responding to this by entering the video space through partnerships with satellite TV companies as well as IPTV launch strategies.
Changing competitive dynamics are contributing to rapid growth in the bundled communications services market, notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Piyush Arora. Telcos are finding the voice market weakening due to IP substitution and intermodal competition from wireless, while the cable MSOs are reaching saturation in the video services market. Losing the grip in their respective core services market is causing both the telcos and cable companies to encroach each others market by offering bundled solutions to their customers.
Integrated billing and customer support is a key non-financial benefit touted by bundled service providers. Delivering this benefit however, entails continuous improvements to the service providers operational and billing support systems (OSS/BSS). As service providers expand the breath of services that can be bundled together, either through in-house offerings or through partnerships, this presents a complex ongoing challenge to market players all across the spectrum.
While integrated billing and customer support is becoming the least common denominator that customers expect when they buy service bundles, its absence is a major cause of dissatisfaction and attrition, explains Arora. Being able to present a single bill and unified customer service interaction requires an overhaul of the current systems and transforming the culture which is build upon delivering discrete, disparate services to customers.
A robust billing and operations support system is a must for any bundled services business model that is effective and scalable. Service providers should implement backend systems that can seamlessly provision and bill the different services that constitute a service bundle. Furthermore, their customer service personnel must be capable of handling customer queries related to any service that is part of a bundle.

A little doubt on Eagle, how to print the PCB to transfer?
Hi !
I appologize for posting this simple thing, but I've searched and I couldn't find it.
I'm completely new at eagle :rolleyes:
I'm making a board, but I can't find how to print the back of the PCB, mirrorwed to transfer to the real board.
I need only the tracks and the holes of the components appearing in the impression, to transfer.
I know it sounds fool to expert users, but I'll be glad to have this answer :)
Thank you !
Best Regards
Hi nando
If you do a file/print option, a small box appears with options such as mirror , rotate etc. (I have version 4.16)
Please note I havn't tried this as I usually import the image (i use the File/Export/Image option) and then use Paint Shop Pro to tweak & mirror the image before printing.
FYI, there are some useful support news groups for eagle:
for general chat/info see news://eagle.userchat.eng
and for support issues news://eagle.support.eng
plus others
Make visible the layers you need, for you, probably bottom copper, pads and via. Go to File/Export, set DPI resolution to match your printer, click the B&W box, and save as a bitmap. Then you can just open the file in any old graphics software and flip L-R. There are other ways, but that is often the simplest. ;)
You would of course use the CAM module (the film tool next to the save-to-disk button) from the board layout window!
Load a default camera job named 'layout', select the details and properties of your layout view, choose an output device format (PS, EPS, Gerber, Excellon and Plotter are the most relevant choices) and let the job get processed.
Additional choices are mirror, flip, turn, invert, fill or unfill pads/holes, etc...
A PS or Gerber (or whatever you choose) file is generated for every film layer you specify, You can then use this to view, print, CNC or whatever. ;)
Please note that only this is a resolution-independent, device-independent way of outputting a layout (or schematic, etc.) and is definitely appropriate for viewing and printing either on paper, film or transfer material.
Hope this helps,
Sebastian. ;)
I did say the simplest way. ;)
Personally, I export to EPS, then lay up several PCBs in Photoshop to fit on one page. But that involves expensive software.
Exporting as an image is the quickest way of getting a file for review or print, I agree. But creating and using them can be tricky if you're unsure how it works - and thus involve more time if you do the trial-and-error approach by subsequently printing each dpi and size adjustment value.
I rather use the CAM processot and do it exactly the same way as mentioned, but use The Gimp or Graphic Converter, should I run into a lack of Photoshop. :D
The PS or EPS files can be post-processed with any modern image editor (e.g. all of the above). On Linux and MacOS, no additional software has to be installed to use postscript ([E]PS files), on Windows just download the free Ghostscript and GSView or use the professional Acrobat.
BTW, it's not really that simple to export as a PNG or JPG, because hitting the exact printer's dpi can become difficult, and really fixing for the high dpi numbers of todays laser or ink jet printers can easily lead to ridiculously large file sizes that are more difficult to handle than the CAM processor anyway. The actual result would also depend on the picture viewer's and the printer driver's processing.
IMHO, the CAM processor is a lot more flexible and gives consistent results, you just have to get used to the window handling and the file (extension) naming scheme. The tutorial explains it all. Nothing is more frustrating than having a board etched and drilled just to find out that it scaled a couple percent off or that the prints on the two board sides are misaligned due to different processing...
Have fun,
PS: Pinkmouse, I just describe it the 'official' way as I see myself confronted with a lot of Eagle related posts on diyaudio.com lately. Most of them result from new users intuitively using Eagle like a drawing program, which it just isn't. No offense... ;)
No offense taken! :)
I'm not so familiar with the Wintel side of things as I use Mac mostly, and have always had a version of Photoshop installed so it was the default route for me really.
I have never had serious scaling issues when I do print directly though, perhaps I've just been lucky?
pinkmouse: ... me Mac too ... me want CAD, layout, curcuit builder. Got links?
Eagle is horribly ugly and not Mac at all, but it's the best bet for schematic capture and layout at the moment.
Yes ... I'm really looking for alternates to the usual Apple methodology: AppleWorks Drawing Pg., Photoshop (is fine, but complex), etc. ... :confused:
I'll be asking my wife about a visit to the UK, possibly around the time frame of your DIY meet in Chesterfield ... :cool:

WDC warns about unaffiliated solicitation
Wadena-Deer Creek has no affiliation with an out-of-state company that is seeking local "sponsors" for a fall sports schedule card.
At least one area business, Tri-County Health Care, has received an email solicitation from Jane Lester of Scholarship Calendars, a Virginia-based firm. In the email sent last week to TCHC's chief financial officer Kim Aagard, Lester asked her to consider sponsoring full-color pocket-sized schedule cards.
"One spot is 300.00 or 500.00 for both the front and back," Lester wrote. "Let me know if you would like to see a sample, I can email it to you. You can pay for your ad after delivery in the fall if you like :)"
Aagard alerted WDC Superintendent Lee Westrum, who quickly spread the word to local businesses via the Wadena Chamber of Commerce that the school district is not endorsing the solicitation.
"This appears to me to be a for-profit enterprise," Westrum said. "We don't have any affiliation. There's no benefit coming toward the student athletes here in any way, shape or form."
He said it's important the "wonderful businesses and individuals that sponsor our activities" are aware of the nature of the solicitation.
Reached by phone Monday, Salina Brickey - who identified herself as the graphic designer for Scholarship Calendars - said the ads pay for the cost of the cards.
"We deliver everything that we print," Brickey said.
She said the company won't print the cards if no one sponsors them.
An online searched revealed that several school districts throughout the country have been approached with similar requests from Scholarship Calendars.
Last October, the Humphreys County (Tennessee) sheriff's office conducted a preliminary investigation into the company and found it "is the subject of a scam alert spanning several states," according to a news release.

Why? For about 15 years it was my great ambition to go there, having been learning Arabic and about the culture of the Arab world. I first went two years ago and I was not disappointed. I've been back three times since.
The best thing: The jasmine. There is nothing like sitting in an old courtyard listening to water playing in a fountain with the smell of jasmine in the early evening air.
My ideal day: I'd sit outside by the fountain and have an early breakfast - herbal tea, freshly baked bread, olives and cheese. Then I'd wander around a little area called Saruja in the old Turkish quarter. In the evening, although I'm not a smoker, I'd probably puff away on a narghile - the hubble-bubble hookah pipe. You don't smoke tobacco but something else strongly scented of such things as apple.
Getting there: Syrian Air (020-7493 2851, Syrian Air flies Heathrow-Damascus from £356 return inc tax. Cheapflights Cheapflights) offers tickets from £253 return.
Where was your best holiday? The Sahara Desert. I went with a group of nomads called the Saharawi. We went off into the desert, slept under the stars and ate fresh baked bread by the fire.
What is the best hotel you have stayed in? The Gellért Hotel in Budapest (Szt Gellért tér, tel: 00361 385 2200, from £75 per night for a double room). It overlooks the Danube and has an old spa inside.

LAKELAND — A couple who romanticized trains and lived a modern-day adventure by riding railroad cars across the United States were killed when a train dumped its load of coal at a Florida power plant.
Ever since Christopher Artes was a teenager in suburban Maryland, he had an illegal and dangerous kind of wanderlust — hitching rides on trains. Over the summer, he fell in love with Medeana Hendershot, who shared his passion. They traveled from Georgia to Chicago, then back to Tennessee, with Artes sending his mother pictures along the way. They wanted to spend winter in Florida because it was warm.
"If he had to die so young, at least he died at a moment where he was on top of the world," said Susan Artes, Christopher's mother.
Artes, 25, and Hendershot, 22, were found Sunday in coal by power plant workers. It's not clear when or how they died.
Sometime over the weekend, the train pulled into the city of Lakeland's power plant. As the railcars arrive, the bottom opens and cars drop coal several stories below onto a waiting truck. Officials were not sure whether the couple were sitting on top of the coal or were riding in an empty car and were dropped onto a mound of coal, then hit or buried by another load.
Artes died from asphyxiation, meaning he was likely buried alive. Hendershot died from blunt-force trauma, so she could have been hurt falling or by coal falling on her.
In high school, Artes embraced the punk rock scene and met some "traveler kids," his mother said. It was then he began climbing aboard freight trains for short trips, either to get around, or for the experience. This summer, with his girlfriend, he embarked on his longest trip yet, with no set plans other than the adventure. The couple wanted to stay in Florida, then return to Maryland for a visit with his family in the spring.
"I don't recommend it and I encourage people not to do it," said Kevin Rice, of San Luis Obispo, Calif., who writes about his train-hopping adventures from 20 years ago on his website.
Rice listed the dangers of riding the rails: falling off the car, getting robbed by a vagrant, being jolted or crushed when the train's slack lessens.
Artes called his mom three times a week. Artes' mother said her son had a train-hopping manual, but it was stolen at some point. "We were always worried about him.."

Episode Title: "Rainmaker"
Writer: Robin Veith
Director: Norberto Barba
Previously on "Lights Out":
Months ago, Patrick "Lights" Leary (Holt McCallany) was in dire financial straights and he went to mobster Hal Brennan (Bill Irwin) for help. Brennan ordered him to collect a debt from a dentist, which ended in Lights breaking the man's arm. To make the criminal charges for that go away, Brennan sent Lights on a "cake run" to deliver a bribe to Councilman Randall Hess (Patrick Collins). Eventually, Lights was able to turn his situation around and return to the ring with the approval of his wife Theresa Leary (Catherine McCormack).
Lights even got his much desired rematch signed with Richard "Death Row" Reynolds (Billy Brown), thanks to Lights' brother Johnny (Pablo Schreiber) and the shifty boxing promoter, Barry K. Word (Reg E. Cathey). But more recently, Lights suffered an injury that required more time to heal, forcing him to turn to Brennan once again to cover the penalty fees which will allow him the chance to face Death Row one more time.
At a flea market with his sister, Margaret (Elizabeth Marvel), Lights encounters former boxing champion Jerry "The Rainmaker" Raynes (David Morse), a sad broken man crippled by puglistic dementia. Out of pity, Lights invites him to stop by the gym for work. At home, the extended Leary family is united for the Fourth of July, including Robert "Pops" Leary (Stacy Keach) and Lights' daughter, Ava (Meredith Hagner), back from England. Lights also notes that Theresa is still pissed at him for not concentrating on her during her graduation the previous week. The next day, Lights visits Jerry to reiterate his offer of work and finds that Jerry can literally not remember things unless he writes them down on his note pad.
While there, Lights sees a TV report about Councilman Hess being arrested by the cops. When he tells Johnny the news, Johnny offers to take the fall if the bribe comes back to them but Lights refuses. Johnny gives Lights a deodorant can with a fake bottom filled with cash and the advice that money can solve almost any problem. Lights catches up to Brennan at Margaret's diner to talk about the Hess incident, but Brennan plays dumb. That night, Hess shows up at Lights' house and solicits another bribe. But Lights catches him wearing a wire and angrily sends him on his way.
At the gym, Jerry briefly seems at home among the other boxers. But when Pops prevents him from sparring with the other boxers, Jerry erupts in anger and nearly hits Lights with a hurled dumbbell. Coming back to his senses, Jerry apologizes and Lights sadly tells him to stay away from the gym. Later, Brennan's henchman "Gus" comes by to see Lights and he is also incredibly unhelpful regarding the Hess situation… effectively hanging Lights out to dry. At home, Lights arrives to find the cops executing a search warrant.
After the cops leave, Lights confesses everything to Theresa. She takes what he did to the dentist in stride and even coldly suggests setting up Jerry for the fall. Wow… that is hardcore. And Lights doesn't seem to have much a problem with it either. Lights then goes back to the diner, where Margaret tells him that Daniella (Ryann Shane) spilled about Lights' own prognosis for dementia and that she intentionally sent him to see Jerry to show him what he could become. She also sends Lights on an errand for their father, where Brennan intercepts him. Brennan slips Lights the address where Hess is being stashed by the authorities and he urges him to take care of it.
The cops soon move in and arrest Lights for bribing a public official, which Death Row uses as a chance to go on TV and trash Lights once again. When he gets out of jail, Lights looks at the paper that Brennan gave him again. Shortly thereafter, a tall man in sweats savagely beats up Hess and his police protector. Lights then gets home and tells Theresa that he and Johnny were out celebrating his release in several public bars. The next morning, Hess claims that he can't remember the last six months from his hospital bed.
In a final twist, Lights visits Jerry at his home and gives him the wad of cash for taking care of Hess for him. Jerry slyly eats the piece of paper with Hess' address and says once again that if he doesn't write it down, it never happened for him.
When I watched this episode for the first time, the moment that really blew me away was Theresa's suggestion that Lights pin his problems on Jerry. Theresa has shown her good side and her selfish side during this series, but I never expected anything as calculating as that coming from her. As a character moment, it's impressive and it forces me to completely reevaluate what I know about her. Throwing an old man under the proverbial bus isn't the way a truly good person would react and it makes me wonder just how much of her persona is real.
David Morse was terrific as Jerry "The Rainmaker" Raynes, continuing the "Lights Out" tradition of getting strong performances from supporting players. Jerry didn't quite have the impact that Eamonn Walker's Ed Romeo had on the story, but that last twist was also impressive. Based on Theresa's earlier statement, I expected Lights to beat the crap out of Hess and pin the blame on Jerry. That it turned out to be Jerry himself was a fantastic way to wrap up both storylines. Jerry's moments of lucidity at the end were also very rewarding.
Morse seemed to make Jerry believably disabled without becoming a caricature. And his scenes in the boxing gym were almost heartbreaking to see. As a fighter, Jerry was probably a great champion. To see someone like that brought down to the level that they can barely do anything at all is a grim reminder not only of the toll of boxing but of aging as well.
You know, it's funny that Hal Brennan was practically anointing himself a member of the Leary family last week, but as soon as the trouble with Hess appeared Lights was on his own to handle it. Pops had a great scene with Lights when he advised him to never cross Brennan and now even Theresa knows Brennan for who he really is. Brennan has been a subtle villain to Lights from the very beginning. He keeps Lights close only as long as he's useful and he's shown a willingness to cut him loose at a moment's notice.
For all of Johnny's faults, he was the one who actually volunteered to take the fall for Lights. Granted, Johnny has been the cause of most of Lights' problems, up to and including the stabbing incident two episodes back. But at heart, he still seems to be a good brother and that's kind of refreshing.
With just two episodes left, I'm hoping for an amazing conclusion. But "Lights Out" has been wildly entertaining for most of its run and it's well worth your time to check out.

View our map of the U.S. and International carbon mitigation projects we support.
Verified emission reductions (VERs), also known as carbon
offsets, are designed for companies looking to reduce the environmental impact
of their flying, driving, and some heating and manufacturing methods with real, verified
and permanent carbon reductions. A VER
represents the reduction of one metric ton (2,205 lbs) of carbon dioxide or its
equivalent. Each ton of emissions
reduced by a carbon reduction project results in the creation of one VER, a
commodity sold to finance these projects.
Renewable Choice supports a variety of domestic and
international projects that conform to domestic and international
standards. Our strategy focuses on
project's that capture and destroy methane, a potent greenhouse gas recognized
by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as a major
cause of climate change.
Why Methane? Methane traps 251 times more heat in the atmosphere as carbon dioxide
and has a relatively short atmospheric lifetime of approximately 12 years;
making methane emissions reductions particularly effective at mitigating
climate change in the near term. Its
destruction offers an immediate, measurable and permanent greenhouse gas reduction. Methane capture also allow the gas to be used as a clean energy source.
Methane comes from a variety of sources both natural and
manmade, such as farm waste and landfills.
Renewable Choice projects include a range of methane capture and
destruction technologies.

reduction efforts.

The appellees have elected to file a consolidated joint response brief in both
That brief is attached.
This is pretty much the standard "In the Home" only argument. Since they make no mention of
Woolard, Weaver
they are gambling that the Court doesn't know of these cases.
The reply briefs will be due on May 23rd. Expect both the SAF and NRA to mention the cases above, and that the "In the Home" argument is losing.
24 ORDER: This Court has received 1 electronic file, document no. 36, under seal from the district court. All documents filed in this Court, except those required to be sealed by statute or rule are considered public. Pursuant to 7th Circuit Operating Procedure 10(b), documents sealed in the district court will be maintained under seal in this Court for 14 days, to afford time to request the approval required by section (a) of this operating procedure. Absent a motion from a party these sealed documents will be placed in the public record on 05/25/2012. Motion shall be filed by 05/24/2012 [24] [6396592] [12-1269] (RT)
25 Disclosure Statement filed by Attorney David D. Jensen for Appellants Peggy Fechter, Charles Hooks, Jon Maier, Michael Moore and Second Amendment Foundation, Incorporated. Additional Parties: Illinois Carry. [25] [6396799] [12-1269]--[Edited 05/10/2012 by CD to reflect that attorney David D. Jensen has been added as counsel for the appellants] [25] [6396799] [12-1269] (Jensen, David)
26 Received argument confirmation from Alan Gura for Appellants Peggy Fechter, Charles Hooks, Jon Maier, Michael Moore and Second Amendment Foundation, Incorporated. [26] [6396807] [12-1269] (Gura, Alan)
The first entry, appears to be the letter received by Judge Myerscough (
) last November (#36). We may or may not get to see what that was about.
The last entry was letting the Court know that Alan Gura will be making the oral argument to the Court. Um, June 8th is the date set for that.
This is fast tracking, indeed!

New Nielsen research shows Google's Android smartphone operating system surging in the U.S.
In the past two quarters, Android phones' share of the U.S. smartphone market jumped from four percent to 13 percent. Even more impressively, in the last six months Android grabbed 27 percent of all new smartphone subscribers — more than the iPhone (23%) and closing in on flagging leader BlackBerry (33%), both of which saw new subscriptions fall.
Those numbers being startling, and this being a blog entry, we must now immediately declare What This Means: Apple is dying! Google is God! BlackBerry is irrelevant!
Not really, of course. The numbers tell a far more complex story than that.
To start, smartphone sales are now a quarter of the U.S. mobile market according to Nielsen, which predicts they'll outsell other kinds of phones by the end of 2011. The Times'Bits blog reports on another study that puts smartphone growth at 64 percent in the second quarter of 2010 alone. A rising tide lifts all ships; it's just that some ships are lighter than others. Easier for Android to go from nothing to something (their share grew at 886 percent in that same period) than for Apple to go from dominant to more dominant.
What's more, when Nielsen asked iPhone users what their next likely phone would be, 18 out of 20 said another iPhone, while only one out of 20 said they wanted to switch to Android. Only 14 out of 20 Android users said they would stay with Android, while four out of 20 said they would switch to the iPhone. (BlackBerry owners are most torn, with 8 out of 20 sticking with their little keyboards, six out of 20 planning to move to an iPhone and four of 20 looking for an Android).
On the Bits blog, one commenter noted that "it is not entirely reasonable to compare Android, which is an OS to iPhone, which is a phone. iPhone is a single device, provided by a single carrier while there are, as I believe, tens of smartphones running Android and they are offered by each and every US carrier."
But in fact that's precisely why it's compelling to compare the two. The Nielsen study compares phone operating systems, but since the iPhone OS appears nowhere besides its own device with a single carrier — Apple's strategic decision — there's no choice but to compare many Android OS devices to one iPhone OS device. Apple's strategy created this reality.
Apple, as ever, is closed. Our device. Our OS. Our app store with our rules. Hell, you can't even get at the iPhone's battery. Android is more open, with several carriers and hardware options, fewer app restrictions and even Flash support.
Still, Android hasn't yet earned the loyalty of the iPhone. It's off to a strong start, and making some"lustworthy" devices, sure, but maybe Apple will open up the iPhone. Or maybe openness will turn out to be less important on mobile devices than it was on desktop computers. Also, Apple's doing pretty well so far with the same closed strategy on that tablet thing, too. On the other hand,a slew of Android tablets are on their way.
Apple's closed approach has worked remarkably well so far — though recently some scratches have shown up on Apple's shiny touchscreen image. And the last time Apple fought an open-versus-closed OS battle, it got demolished by Windows. Few people ever claimed Windows was superior technology, but its strategy was superior, and market share reflected that. The startling rise in Android adoption could well reflect the same consumer desire for an open platform. For choice. For competition.
That's what I take away from these new market share numbers on the iPhone and Android (oh yeah, and BlackBerry, too). Finally, we've got a good fight on our hands. And when companies have to actually fight for their customers, guess who wins.

One handy invention I have found to be extremely helpful for emergency situations is the crank powered flashlight/radio combination. These can be found for under $20.00 at your local hardware store and eliminate the worry about dead or leaking batteries. They usually come with LED bulbs that last a lifetime and use little power. The radio is a great source of information on the AM band and the entertainment of the FM band can help break the monotony of a powerless society.
Today's emergency preparedness situation is power outages. We can all handle the 2 or 3 hour power failure, but disasters almost always cause extended outages lasting days or weeks. Here are a few helpful links...

Why Do Governments Hate Workers?
The New York Times explains all this without discussing the involvement of the owners of the businesses. It talks about the alignment of the protesters with opposition to the dictatorial control of Prime Minister Hun Sen. It talks about wealth inequality. It doesn't explain that the Cambodian rich are aligned with Hun Sen, and that they profit from the misery of the workers. It carefully refrains from pointing out that the clothing manufactured by these workers is sold by Gap, Walmart, H&M, Adidas and Puma, among others. For that, you have to read the Guardian.
Governments always and everywhere are perfectly happy to kill working people, as we know from our own bloody history and from the history of other nations. Nowadays the killing and maiming is done indirectly, by allowing businesses to operate with little supervision of health and safety. In 2012, there were 4,383 workplace fatalities, and 905,700 injuries involving days away from work. And need I mention West, Texas?
Or it's done by ordering the military to step in and replace uppity workers, one of the steps Ronald Reagan took after he destroyed the union of airline traffic controllers. Margaret Thatcher considered bringing in troops to end a miners strike in Britain in 1984. Here's how the NYT describes it:
As striking miners challenged her grip on power in 1984, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher secretly considered calling out the British military to transport vital supplies of food and coal around the country and declaring a state of emergency to bolster the government in one of the defining confrontations of her tumultuous years in office, according to previously classified documents released on [January 3, 2014].
How sweet, she was only worried about transport of "vital supplies"; her deep concern for the interests of the rest of the country was her motivation. In fact, the documents discussed by the NYT show that the goal of her government was to crush the labor movement and impose class discipline on the workers of Great Britain. If that meant declaring a state of emergency and mobilizing troops to break the strike, so be it. She was only deterred by the fear that it would infuriate the workers even more than her aggressive tactics designed to benefit owners of capital, her primary source of support and control by the State. As it turned out, the workers were starved out and returned to work without military intervention.
The state never does anything like these brutal offenses when it comes to the rich or their property. I can't think of a single example of a government killing a corporation, or a rich person, so lawlessly. Harry Truman tried to seize control of Youngstown Sheet & Tube during the Korean War, but the Supreme Court slapped him down. Occasionally a corporation is broken up into smaller parts, as happened with the oil trusts in the early 20th century, or with ATT later, but they quickly reassembled themselves, and in no case was there a loss to the rich people who controlled the businesses.
There are a few cases of expropriation of private property in other countries, but almost always there is compensation for the rich owners and their corporations. For example, when Mexico nationalized its oil industry in 1938, US oil companies got the US government to intervene on its side, and eventually they were compensated in full. Haiti is an even more repulsive story. When the country broke free of colonialism, the French government demanded reparations, which ruined the newly formed country.
We must be a nation of peasants to be willing to tug our forelocks and say yes sir and would you like champagne with your caviar sir to the rich like we do.

The Bulletproof Mind
So today I was in a lecture with Retired Army Ranger Lt. Colonel Dave Grossman, called The Bulletproof Mind: Mental Prep for Combat.
It was an excellent lecture. I recommend everyone who hasn't already, either sit in on one of his lectures, or get his audio tapes, or books. extremely intelligent man with a lot of experience, and tips and tricks to prepare yourself for the use of deadly force, and how to mentally survive after using deadly force.

Wed 17 Aug 2011 in Singapore:
Somewhere in Tanglin Camp, along Loewen Road.
I set out from school at around 12.50pm, walking to the bus stop along Thomson Road to catch the bus service 132. After a half-hour bus ride, I alighted at Tanglin Road and walked into Ridley Park, walking for about ten minutes before I finally reached Loewen Road. And there were two Loewen Roads, one moving on straight from Ridley Park and the other branching off a little way uphill. The one I needed to follow was the one going uphill, but when I got there the road...well, wasn't really there anymore. Most of it was fenced off, and whatever little there was left that I could see had been covered with overgrown grass. I walked a little way around the perimeter with Geohash Droid on, hopefully looking for a clear way in, but no such luck. My mum told me Tanglin Camp had been converted into an F&B hangout so I was hoping it would be much more open, but I guess not the part where the geohash was located, unfortunately.
Later on I looked at the map again, there was another opening to this Loewen Road on the other side of the camp, but I have no idea whether it would have been an open route or similarly fenced. No point thinking about it, now!

Hi Radoslav,
I get the following error when running the project when I add in assemblyinfo="SitefinityWebApp" in the Resource File statement. Any help appreciated.
Server Error in '/' Application.
Type "SitefinityWebApp" cannot be resolved.
So is this still an issue in Sept. 2016. Sitefinity Version 8.2.5900.0? It's over 4 years later...
imagerotator.js depends on jquery.
I get this error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: $ is not defined
Is there a better way to do this now?
Jquery is so prominent there literally should be a checkbox in the Sitefinity GUI that says: Load Jquery, and it loads it first....
Can I add Jquery in the GUI via the Widgets > Javas Script on my Master Page Template? I just want it to load for the entire site one time - first. Should be simple.
Another Attempt:
originally the imagerotator.js code was embedded into a script tag directly in the ascx file. I wanted to externalize it and get it minified. The javascriptembedcontrol fixed this. However it created the loading order issue with jquery even though jquery is placed first in the HTML. I just tried to add the imagerotator.js as a widget on my home page template and choose the selection to include it just before the body tag closing. This would work for me in my case because this particular template is ONLY used by my home page. It did work in getting rid of the undefined error. However, the script is now not minimized so it defeats the purpose. Might as well just paste the code in again.
27th Attempt:
1. I set my JS file as an embedded resource.
2. added to AssemblyInfo.cs
[assembly: WebResource("SitefinityWebApp.CAIU.Widgets.scripts.imagerotator.js", "application/x-javascript")]
3. Updates the ResourceLinks Code
<sf:ResourceLinks ID="ResourceLinks" runat="server" UseEmbeddedThemes="true">
<sf:ResourceFile JavaScriptLibrary="JQuery"></sf:ResourceFile>
<sf:ResourceFile Name="SitefinityWebApp.CAIU.widgets.scripts.imagerotator.js" AssemblyInfo="SitefinityWebApp.CAIU.Widgets.ImageRotator, SitefinityWebApp"/>
4. Rebuild Application
5. Run - still doesn't work and it can't find the file.
Anything I'm doing wrong?
The worst part is I do all this in a dev environment and then have to publish it all to a load balanced site that uses 3 instances. this whole thing is pretty frustrating and probably not worth the effort at this point.
I got the ResourceLinks working - I'm not quite positive what went wrong yesterday. I verified I had the correct name with the following code:
var stringArray = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().GetManifestResourceNames();
And I had the name correct. Then it just started working, so I don't know if my build didn't take yesterday or something was cached still on the page.

Correction Appended
Avuncular is the word that naturally applies to Burton Goldberg. A spry, contented-looking man who still goes to work at the highly successful real estate company he founded a half century ago, he lives in Scarsdale, N.Y., with his wife, Rita, a retired educational counselor for troubled children.
Mrs. Goldberg is a cheery woman with her family history committed to memory and ready to be explained. Last year she wrote her self-published autobiography, ''Oh, You Beautiful Doll,'' as a gift to her four grown children, six grandchildren and as yet unborn great-grandchildren.
The Goldbergs, both 79, complement each other nicely. She's inclined to talk, and he's inclined to listen, though he does make occasional pronouncements.
''I'm a man who likes to stay put,'' he said during an interview in their home. ''I'm married to my wife 55 years, we're living here 44 years, I'm working the same job for 50 years. When I latch on to something I like, I stick with it.''
They are, in other words, a couple recognizable as a New York type, even an American type. Ordinary, lovable folks, not the sort to have their names engraved in the lobbies of buildings or printed in relief on institutional stationery.Continue reading the main story
But that is about to change. At a party in their honor tonight, the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University is to announce that its department of dramatic writing will henceforth be known as the Rita and Burton Goldberg department of dramatic writing.
''Do I have to tell you how excited I am?'' Mrs. Goldberg said.
Her husband added: ''It's very nice to be an honoree.''
Why is this happening? Well, it turns out that the Goldbergs are the unlikely patrons of the future of the American theater.
''We weren't approached by a fund-raiser; we just volunteered,'' Mr. Goldberg said.
His wife added, ''We just came in, truly as angels, just kind of floated in there.''
It was in the mid-1990's that Mrs. Goldberg called a general number at N.Y.U. to find out if there was such a thing as a playwriting department. Directed to the department of dramatic writing at Tisch, she spoke to Janet Neipris, a professor who was the department chairwoman, and said she and her husband wanted to make a donation. And as Mrs. Goldberg recalled with a laugh, ''She said, 'Come right over!' ''
Ms. Neipris remembers the same thing. ''I was shocked,'' she said. ''Of course, you're always looking for funds. But imagine someone walking in the door and saying, 'We want to help.' Usually it involves three lunches, 10 dinners and a waltz around Central Park.''
Since then, they have given more than $1 million to Tisch, specifically to support student playwrights.
They provide scholarships, foot the bill for an annual playwriting competition and finance a master playwrights' program that during the last three years has brought John Guare, Kenneth Lonergan, Marsha Norman, Wendy Wasserstein, Tina Howe and Neil LaBute to Tisch classrooms and lecture halls for a semester apiece.
This is rare enough; playwriting programs, even celebrated ones like those at Yale, Brown and Juilliard, almost never attract individual private support of this size. But even more remarkable, the Goldbergs have no theatrical background other than their degrees in literature (hers is a bachelor's from Hunter College, his is a master's from Brooklyn College) and a devotion to great writing for the theater. She loves O'Neill; he is partial to Shaw and Shakespeare.
They recently pledged considerably more to the school -- ''a large benefit'' is how Mr. Goldberg refers to the gift, declining to name the figure -- as a bequeathal.
The pledge amounts to ''a transformational gift for the Tisch School of the Arts,'' said the dean of Tisch, Mary Schmidt Campbell, and it could raise the profile of a department that says it offers the only undergraduate major in dramatic writing in the United States.
It will go toward providing stipends for three new master teachers a year, more scholarships and fellowships, student subsidies for theater tickets and new productions for the work of student playwrights and alumni.
Perhaps the most unusual aspect of the Goldbergs' generosity is how narrowly focused it is. From the beginning, noting that most of the attention and money in the Tisch writing department is funneled to film and television, the Goldbergs insisted that their money be focused on writing for the stage.
''They said, 'It's all film,' '' Mark Dickerman, the current chairman of the department, said. '' 'Film, film, film. Where's the playwriting?' It took me a long time to understand the depth of their feeling about that. It was very important to them, for example, that the word playwriting appear in the Tisch lobby, so part of our arrangement with them is we would create a division of playwriting, separate from the division of film and television writing. So the word appears on letterhead and on signage; they wanted to raise the profile of the word. And they were serious about that. In fact, at one point they said if the letterhead were not changed by a certain date, the deal was off.''
For established playwrights like Mr. Lonergan, the gift is nothing short of astonishing.
''There are a lot of people who want to write plays and very few people who want to give them financial encouragement,'' said Mr. Lonergan, who is an Tisch alumnus and, as a former master playwright, a beneficiary of the Goldbergs' largess. ''And one notion you acquire rather quickly when you're coming up in the theater is how many people really work at it even though they aren't likely to make any money. Everybody says that's depressing, but I always feel it's encouraging, because it means these are people who are doing something because they're passionate about it, not because they're going to become rich and famous. So when you get this kind of encouragement from people who have money to give, it really is remarkable and it really is encouraging, and I hope one of the things it encourages is for other people to do the same.''
The natural question for the Goldbergs is: Why? And they have a simple answer.
''I think that playwriting is about the highest calling that a person could have,'' Mr. Goldberg said, though he acknowledged that poetry is up there, too. ''I think this is the best way possible to explore the human condition.''
Correction: October 20, 2003, Monday An article on Wednesday about a Scarsdale couple's financial support of the department of dramatic writing at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University included an erroneous reference from the school to the uniqueness of its undergraduate major in dramatic writing. Other such programs include those at the University of Michigan and at Purchase College of the State University of New York.Continue reading the main story

He argued against the extra pay at a Town Council meeting last month but nonetheless the council voted 4-1 to recognize the completion of the parking lot and in favor of the bonus to the contractor.
"I don't have problems paying for what he did," Shimansky said. "The contractor did a nice job."
"But giving somebody a $28,000 bonus to complete a contract that he willfully entered into (is questionable)," he added. "I don't see the logic in that. I don't think we ought to use the taxpayers' money for somebody to do a job that he bid on and had a contract for."
Council members approved the contractor's bid from Galedrige Construction Inc. in May. The original contract amount was $467,530 with a bonus of $28,000 if the work were completed on schedule. Shimansky also voted against the bonus in May.
Town Manager Joe Calabrigo said Galedrige deserved the bonus because it finished the project before the deadline last summer. The town paid $510,108, which was less than the $542,284 budget allocated for the parking lot. There was also an increase of $14,577 due to several additions to the project.
"The project had a very finite window to work with which had to substantially be completed or we were going to experience some major inconvenience," Calabrigo said.
The contractor built 86 additional parking spaces in the parking lot plus made improvements to landscaping, pedestrian walkways and traffic circulation in the existing parking lot on Holbrook Drive, which serves Sycamore Valley Park, Sycamore Valley Elementary and the Sycamore Valley Regional Open Space Preserve. Galedrige had a timeframe from June to August and had to work around soccer tournaments to get the parking lot finished.
Calabrigo said the town broke the project into two phases. Phase one was the demolition, paving and striping, which were finished prior to the beginning of the new school year. Phase two dealt with landscaping, which could be worked on while school was in session.
"School officials and park users and everyone were pleased with the outcome," Calabrigo said. "It's very difficult for that size project to get done within a two-month window with the other activities going on."

Outgoing Deputy Chief Constable Judith Gillespie has insisted she is leaving the Police Service of Northern Ireland on her terms and not as a consequence of a disputed job criteria preventing her from applying for the organisation's top post.
Mrs Gillespie, the service's highest ranking female officer, leaves at the end of the month after 32 years in policing.
The announcement of her retirement came shortly before a political row erupted over how the PSNI's next chief constable is hired when incumbent Matt Baggott himself retires in the autumn.
Stormont Justice Minister David Ford's proposal that a mandatory requirement for the next chief to have served two years outside Northern Ireland be scrapped was met with fierce opposition from his political rivals and he was ultimately overruled by colleagues in the power-sharing executive.
Mrs Gillespie, like many other senior ranking officers in the PSNI, would be unable to apply for the top job while the criteria remains.
But on her last major public engagement in post, at the UK's Senior Women in Policing Conference in Belfast, the deputy chief constable said she decided to go in the knowledge that a consultation on potentially changing the rule was on-going.
"I said at the time that I knew there was a consultation process under way," she said.
"And I decided to retire on my terms and in my time."
Mrs Gillespie said she was considering a number of offers for a new career but hinted at which sector she may end up in.
"I am not going to be idle," she said.
"I've lots of plans and lots of irons in the fire and lots of really interesting offers but I am going to be judicious about what I say yes to."
She added: "Policing is always very close to my heart and women in policing especially and the vulnerable victims and those who are most vulnerable in our society, that will always be very, very close to my heart so I don't think I will be too far away from that sector."
The senior officer said it was apt that one of her last roles was to host the conference on women in policing.
"It's a lovely way to finish my career as deputy and as the most senior woman in the PSNI," she said.
"I think you would expect I had planned my retirement very carefully and thoughtfully and there was no way I was retiring before this conference, we have worked very hard to bring the conference here, and it just seemed a very fitting way to finish."
Mrs Gillespie said she was proud of the role she had played in delivering last year's World Police and Fire Games in Northern Ireland, the G8 Summit in Co Fermanagh, the UK City of Culture events in Londonderry and the all Ireland fleadh, also in Londonderry.
"It would be very hard to top those milestones in my career and I think it's always good to quit while you are on a high and that's my reasoning now," she said.
But the married mother-of-two said her ability to hold a top rank while also maintaining a healthy family life was possibly her greatest achievement.
"I hope the legacy I leave is that women will see that they can achieve high rank within the police service, within the PSNI, and they can still also have a life," she said.
"And that's probably my greatest achievement - to have a family life, be a relatively normal person and to enjoy a fantastic career within the PSNI and be a role model to other women, that's the biggest achievement of all."

Signs that make you visibleJuly 29, 2009
The shop front is the first thing people will notice if you are a retailer. And based on the quality of the message on this piece of signage they make their impressions about what kind of an enterprise you are. If this signage on your shop front looks dull and unappealing, the chances are that the potential customers or curious commuters will not visit your store. Theses people will not even bother finding out more about you, or even if they need your services. Shop fronts require signs and signages which make them look credible. They should be able to give people the right impression the first time and every time.
While many choose to create their own signs using paints some outsource this work to local 'artists' and designers. The right signs can help to ensure more footfalls in a store or a shop, and also help to sell more.
A sign board, banner or nameplate is a promise of credibility
When you enter a store, the first thing you look at is what is on display. To be able to catch the human eye is a rather tricky science, and requires the expertise of a good signage manufacturing company which can advise you on what kind of sign or display will suit your shop or business enterprise. These kind of manufacturing companies are extremely proficient at the manufacture, printing and writing of nameplates, banner stands and shop front signages whether illuminated or otherwise.

"Any one thing that we do would not be enough to support a family, but all of the layers: the cowshares, the broiler chickens, the turkeys, the hogs, and the beef combined can support our family."
The sign for Full Quiver Farm is written across a mailbox that stands a little crooked on a country road across from the Wilson family's home.
From the street, the farm appears as a large backyard expanding behind the family's home. There is a row of short fenced and covered areas for chickens and a young calf. Chickens and baby chicks scurry around the side yard, pecking at the ground and clucking. A few minutes after I arrived, Scott Wilson, owner with his wife Alison, took me on an informal tour of the pastures.
Hens, cows, turkeys, and pigs have been raised for meat on the sustainable family meat farm in Suffolk, Va since 2003. There is also a dairy cowshare program and eggs and sometimes organic veggies for sale at Full Quiver Farm on monthly pick-up days. All of the animals are pasture raised from the time they arrive at the farm with full access to the outdoors, fresh air, and sunshine. The farm is not certified organic, but it is completely natural. The animals are not given routine hormones or antibiotics.
The animals exist in a state of symbiosis: The pigs live in the forests which border the cow and poultry pastures. There, pigs eat according to what they can forage in the woods and are working to clear out the underbrush for future extension of the pastures.
The cowshare program allows people to purchase a share of a dairy cow and pick up the milk weekly. Dairy cows and hens graze on a mutually beneficial rotation. Cows graze and fertilize the pastures with their manure. When the chickens graze after the cows, they eat the parasites and bugs left over in the manure and fertilize the grass with their own manure.
"What is a pest for the cow becomes a nutritious asset to the chicken," Scott Wilson said. "You'll never see manure lagoons here, which are environmental liabilities on factory farms. But you will see compost piles that we spread on the pasture, so manure is actually an asset instead of a liability. We don't need to ship it off; we want to keep as much as possible because it keeps the grass growing and allows animals to thrive on the pasture. We also use the compost for our organic gardening."
Much of the beef sold by Full Quiver Farm comes from cows pasture raised on another local 30 acre farm.
"We've found that, with the family farm dynamic, it's best to have a diversity of things as opposed to a monoculture, which is what most of today's farming is based on," Mr. Wilson said. "We have complimentary enterprises that work together to make the whole. Any one thing that we do would not be enough to support a family, but all of the layers: the cowshares, the broiler chickens, the turkeys, the hogs, and the beef combined can support our family."
Pastured pork and beef is less likely than factory farmed pork to be contaminated with E-coli and raising pigs on a pasture reduces the risk that they will form antibiotic resistant bacteria. Research has shown that "pigs raised on a pasture have 300% more Vitamin E and 74% more Selenium (a vital antioxidant) than pigs raised in confinement…"
Pastured beef, chicken, and eggs are more lean and have a higher content of Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E. Raising animals outside on a pasture has a host of environmental benefits such as reduced soil erosion and reduced production of greenhouse gases.
Scott Wilson took me on a tour of his family's farm, and after he explained the natural farming principles that Full Quiver Farm is built on, we discussed the philosophy of our food choices, and the lifestyle that follows.
So you're family is pretty self-sufficient.
One of our goals coming out [to start farming] here was to be as self sufficient as possible. We want to be able to stay away from the grocery stores. It's the kind of mentality that requires a changed mindset, that we're going to eat whatever is seasonally available, whatever is either grown or stored, even though we may not have as much variety, but we know that that food is healthy and fresh, it's grown locally, and it's going to have the best nutritive content rather than something full of preservatives that has been shipped from the West Coast. But it also means we don't eat tomatoes in February.
That was difficult for me to get used to at first when I moved here from California. At times, the vegetables in season here are all very similar.
It does take some getting used to. But it's a good thing and the way that God intended it. My wife and I were just talking about that conundrum, of maybe getting bored with what is currently available, because, as Americans, we [are used to] convenience. But, cooking and working in the kitchen along with your children is the type of experience that you don't get with a microwave dinner.
That's true. Eating whole foods and the creativity of coming up with new dishes does yield to a different family dynamic. It is interesting how much of an effect our food can have on our lifestyle.
Our daily schedule tends to hang on meals. As much as possible, we try to [prepare and eat] our meals together. We can sit together and read, talk about what has happened during the day, and really connect to each other. Everything hangs on those meals, and they become anchors for our day. It is a discipline, too. I think that food was designed to do that, if you'll let it.
How did you come to the decision to change your career to farming, and why did you decide to go this route?
The thing about this model is, as opposed to the more common models of farming, there is a lot of information out there, a lot of books on family farms that are geared toward organic, natural methods, that really give a picture of what it can look like economically. It's more possible than you'd imagine in today's culture. People are concerned about their food and concerned about factory farming and those processes that are creating food that is inedible. Whole chickens at a grocery store have flavoring added because without it, they have no flavor.
There is, of course, the principle that the [factory farmed] chicken was treated horribly, so it's both an inferior product and an inferior way for us to treat animals. Our model of farming produces meat that tastes so much better. So, even those people who don't care as much about the treatment of the animal can tell the difference in the flavor of the meat.
So, the benefits to the animals, the people, and the environment are an important factor, but the infrastructure allows us to be economically viable also.
I see your kids helping out with some of the tasks around the farm, and they seem happy to be doing it.
By and large, my kids do much of the work around the farm, and that's a good thing for kids to do. It's good for them to get out in the sunshine, work hard, accomplish things, and see the results, because they help make their food. They are contributing to the yummy stuff that they get to eat.
I can imagine that it helps with homeschooling in the way of creating lessons.
Endless ways, endless lessons. They learn the knowledge and then use the knowledge immediately. And they need the knowledge because if they don't have it, animals could die.
Your lifestyle and your farm are very holistic. My husband and I hope to have something like this in the future, but for now, we have a small garden in our backyard. It's wonderful to see the way that you and your family work with the animals you raise.
The garden is a good thing – everything starts small and grows. There is a kind of symbiosis with this model of farming, and in an ideal world, all the systems would work together, benefiting each other.

Cuban, Carlisle fined total of $110,000; 'I think it's fair,' coach says
Mark Cuban and Rick Carlisle felt the punitive wrath of the NBA on Friday, with both getting socked with hefty fines for their indiscretions during and after Wednesday's game against Oklahoma City.
Cuban was hit with a $75,000 fine for comments he made after the 95-86 loss about the referee crew and officiating in general this season.
Carlisle was fined $35,000 for inadvertently kicking the basketball into the spectators seated on the baseline near the Mavericks' bench.
"I think it's fair,'' Carlisle said of the league's penalty. "It's irresponsible for a ball to go into the stands. You're subject to a fine. I accept it and regret that situation happened, even though it was accidental.''
Carlisle was trying to kick the ball back to the referees, but it squibbed wide right like a shanked field goal attempt and hit a young boy in the head. He was not hurt in the incident.
The referee crew for the Thunder game was Ron Garretson, Mark Ayotte and Michael Smith. Numerous Mavericks players voiced their frustration after the game, and Carlisle's ejection after his ball-kicking episode came as a result of a curious non-call when Delonte West crashed to the floor on a drive to the basket.
The fine is a rarity for Carlisle. Not so Cuban, who said among other things Wednesday that, "These were officials that have been part of the league for years, and it was just off-the-charts bad. And, if no one ever says anything, nothing ever happens.
"Some of these guys are having really bad nights, and it's having an impact.''
Cuban, who has incurred fines totaling about $1.8 million from the NBA since his ownership of the Mavericks began in 2000, made the comments to ESPNDallas.com.
As is his custom, Cuban said he would match the fine, with the funds going to a charity that he had yet to decide upon as of Friday afternoon.
Cuban also confirmed that it is the first time he has been fined for what the league believes to be improper commentary about officials since May 2009, when he voiced frustration during the second-round playoff series against Denver.
Since then, he also had a $100,000 fine for comments about then free-agent-to-be LeBron James.

'Twilight Zone' Scribe Friedman Joins 'Enterprise'By Christian
June 30, 2003 - 9:36 PM
Fans saddened by the demise of Enterprise lead-out The Twilight Zone will have at least one consolation next year: the show's co-executive producer Brent V. Friedman has just joined the Trek writing staff.
"We are in the process of putting some deals together for some new writers," Enterprise executive producer Rick Berman told Dan Madsen in the new issue of the Star Trek Communicator (via TrekWeb). "Brent Friedman, who had been on The Twilight Zone last year, is a terrific writer that we have brought on. We have some others who are going to be coming onboard in the next few weeks."
According to the Internet Movie Database, Friedman has been writing science fiction films for close to fifteen years, starting with indie productions such as Evil Altar and The Resurrected, and culminating with the big-budget sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. In TV land, he's worked on Dark Skies, the government conspiracy show starring Jeri Ryan (Seven of Nine), and Secret Agent Man, the short-lived UPN show.
The Twilight Zone, the show Friedman most recently worked on, was headed by former DS9 executive producer Ira Steven Behr. Friedman and Behr co-wrote the episode "The Executions of Grady Finch", while Friedman also worked on four other episodes of the show. On The Twilight Zone, he served as co-executive producer; it is not yet known exactly which title he will hold on Enterprise.
Further information on Friedman can be found in his IMDB biography. Further excerpts from the Communicator article can be found here on TrekWeb.

Alves committed to Barca
Barcelona's flying full-back Dani Alves has revealed he is ready to sign a new deal at the club.
Last Updated: 12/03/11 12:43pm
Barcelona's flying full-back Dani Alves has revealed he is ready to sign a new deal at the club.
The Brazil international is reportedly a summer target for Premier League giants Manchester City, but the 27-year-old says he remains fully committed to the Catalans - despite being unable to agree fresh terms.
Alves admits being frustrated by Barca's stance during recent negotiations but admits he wants parity with the club's highest earners.
"I don't feel the club have bent over backwards to renew my contract - it's a feeling I have," he told local newspaper Sport.
"I just want an agreement to be reached now, or within a few days.
"I don't like the fact there have been so many rumours - I'm as committed to this project as anyone in the squad.
"I won't be a hypocrite - if the club want to replace me it could cost them dear.
"I will break my back for this team, even if I don't renew.
"It's a dream to form part of this dressing room and whatever is said, written or protested, my name is already written in the history of this club."

Sears emphasizes full-line stores
May 14, 2001,
HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL — Improving the performance of its full-line stores is the number-one priority for Sears management.
The company is undergoing a major reassessment of these stores, and expects to have its strategy in place this year, said Alan Lacy, chairman and ceo, at the annual shareholders meeting here last week.
Along with the merchandise reassessment, Sears is developing a new marketing program that will launch close to Labor Day, Lacy said. The thrust of the campaign will be to "position Sears as the place to shop and will market the entire store" vs. previous campaigns that focused on parts of the store, he explained. "The campaign will emphasize the Sears brand."
Beyond the full-line stores, Sears is putting its muscle behind The Great Indoors, its direct-to-consumer business and the expansion of its proprietary Sears Mastercard, Lacy told shareholders.
The Great Indoors and the direct-to-consumer business were given stellar visual presentations before the meeting. The new website for The Great Indoors already is garnering strong response, said Bob Rodgers, president. The merchandise offered is a streamlined version of the in-store assortment with one of the priority criteria — UPS-shippable. The website assortment is bought separately from the store inventories and is housed in the division's third-party fulfillment center.
Early analysis of the orders on the website show that 60 percent of the business comes from the four existing markets plus Chicagoland, with 40 percent coming from markets where there are no stores, Rodgers said.
In direct-to-consumer, Sears has combined its in-house and licensed catalogs, its Sears website and its consumer services under the direction of Dennis Honan, vp, general manager, Customer Direct.
This division mailed 160 million catalogs last year, and this year will begin distributing the catalogs in the stores.
While the merchandise in the catalogs is different from the full-line stores' mix and utilizes different suppliers, Lacy remarked: "There have been no significant problems with the different merchandise. The catalogs clearly say `shop at home,' and we will accept returns at Sears stores."
While the Sears website has limited merchandise offers, primarily in hardlines, Lacy noted some important cross-overs for the full-line stores. The website, he explained, influenced 10 percent of the in-store appliance sales. Five percent of the appliance sales would not have occurred if the customers had not shopped the website, he added.
Additionally, 5 percent of both the in-store lawn and garden and home electronics sales were influenced by consumers shopping the website.
The Sears Mastercard program, Lacy said, will issue eight million new cards this year.
