CAP reform can't reward armchair farmers – IFA
ARMCHAIR farmers who don't grow any food on their land must not be paid more than active farmers in reforms of the Common Agricultural Policy, the Irish Farmers' Association (IFA) has insisted.
The IFA called on the Government to fight for a deal that secures €11bn in farm funding for Ireland over the next seven years.
Ireland must resist moves to introduce flat-rate single farm payment (SFP) that would pay solely by the amount of land held, IFA president John Bryan said at their AGM in Dublin.
"The SFP must reward work and effort and not armchair farmers who have land but produce nothing," he said.
Failure to deliver a good deal at crunch talks in Brussels next month could hit thousands of farms and devastate food production even though official policy is to expand it, he added.
And Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney would be judged on his ability to get a good deal for Ireland, as he had not delivered in the recent Budget, with savage cuts to the Disadvantaged Areas scheme.
The IFA enjoyed a bumper year as an organisation in 2012 with income soaring by nearly €2m and membership up to a record 88,000, the AGM heard.
Membership rose by 500 and the figure does not include the associate members in IFA Countryside or family members who join at a lesser rate. Income for 2012 rose from €11.7m in 2011 to €13.5m in 2012.

Mitt Romney beats President Obama in July fundraising, tweaks him over spending
David Centerville, UTAug. 22, 2012 5:38 p.m.
This article points to Obama's team, and Obama himself, as being egotistical. We should be happy to be breathing the same air that they do, as it was said in the article.
But I doubt that donors are primarily concerned about a "Thank You" card and a pat on the back from the president. What they really want is a return on their "investment" in his campaign. They want to know that he can make our economy strong again. The donors want to know that the small and large business climate can prosper, that the American dream lives on, and that unemployment numbers can be improved.
Americans have given Obama nearly 4 years to show us that he knows how to lead. He has not been successful at anything domestically. His greatest success was killing bin Laden, and Obama didn't even do that. He simply gave the "go-ahead" to the military that had been hunting bin Laden.
Obama has been a weak, unsuccessful, president. One of the worst in American history.
Noodlekaboodle Salt Lake City, UTAug. 22, 2012 5:24 p.m.
I always think numbers that rate popularity amoung a candidates base are misleading. While it is probably true that only 49% of liberals approve of Obama's presidency, for many of them (like myself) it's because he isn't liberal enough. So clearly if Obama isn't liberal enough there is no way i'm voting for Romney. I'm sure if you ask conservatives many of them wouldn't have Romney as their first choice for nominee, but compared to Obama he is a conservative, so they would still support Romney.

Turtlenecks have been praised as one of the more figure flattering shirts by Frank Hoffmann and William Bailey's book "Fashion & Merchandising Fads," as they can emphasize the face and elongate the torso. A versatile top, turtlenecks can be worn for business under a blazer or dress shirt or more casually over a pair of jeans. Dressier versions of the top use more luxurious threads and complicated knitted patterns, while sportier versions use high-performance materials.
Knitted Fabric
Traditionally the turtleneck is made from jersey -- a single-gauge knit fabric that is stretchy enough to allow the garment to be pulled over the head.The material can be made from many fibers, from fine silk to chunky wool, though one of the most common for the top is cotton. Contemporary turtlenecks that hit the runway come in many pattern and styles, including ribbed, lace, butterfly and the popular cable. Additionally, high-end labels often twist and turn the pattern of the knit, combining it with novelty yarns, leather and furs to achieve the appropriate fashion-forward look.
Originally a staple in 1920s menswear, the classic turtleneck has naval roots, as it was worn as part of the naval uniform and also by longshoremen. Traditionally, the garment is a close fitting knit top with a tall collar that comes up, and sometimes surpasses, the chin. This collar can be folded or scrunched down. The top became unisex in the late 1950s to early 1960s, as it was commonly associated with the beatnik movement. Since then, it has been worn for both fashion and winter sports, as athletic varieties use performance knits that wick the sweat away from the body.
Another turtleneck style with men's wear roots is the mock neck, similar in style to the classic turtleneck but with a shorter collar. The appeal of this shirt is that it has the look of the classic turtleneck without the bulk around the neck that results from folding the long neck part down. With a sleeker silhouette, the garment usually fits closer to the neck and body, making it perfect for fine gauge knits. Due to its snug fit, the mock turtleneck is also popular for winter performance apparel.
In dressmaking terms, a cowl is an extra piece of fabric that drapes across the front or back neckline, falling across the chest or down the middle of the back. Combining the look with a turtleneck produces a softer version of the top that has a wider, funnel shaped collar. Because the cowl drapes away from the neck, it can exposed more of the neck than other turtleneck styles do. Thus, it is one of the more feminine of the silhouettes, and it can be taken easily from day to evening wear according to Brigitte Nioche in the book "Dress to Impress: How to Look & Feel Your Best Every Day."

Safety Holliman hopes to make quick impression on Bucs
It's been a humbling year for Gerod Holliman, who a year ago won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back after tying an NCAA record with 14 interceptions as a redshirt sophomore at Louisville.
Holliman opted to leave early for the NFL draft, but wasn't selected until the seventh round by the Steelers, who cut him in preseason. He wasn't good enough to be among the 320 players on NFL practice squads until Wednesday, when the Bucs signed him for the final week of the season.
"I'm very excited," said Holliman, still just 21, who is wearing No. 28 with the Bucs. "I just want to show my knowledge of the game, that I'm a good football player."
Holliman hasn't had much opportunity since the Steelers cut him -- he had a workout with the Bears two weeks ago but wasn't signed. He hopes to show enough this week in practice to convince the Bucs to sign him to a futures contract, keeping him on roster with a chance to compete for a roster spot next fall.
"I've learned the weaknesses I need to work on -- being more aggressive, just hard work really," said Holliman, who must show he has tackling ability to match his ballhawking skills.
One Bucs player familiar with what Holliman can do is rookie quarterback Jameis Winston, who was intercepted twice by him when they played last fall. "I was lucky enough to," said Holliman, who saw his second interception end quickly when Winston tackled him and forced a fumble that the Seminoles recovered.
Holliman is the second Thorpe Award winner on the Bucs' roster -- cornerback Johnthan Banks won in 2012 while at Mississippi State.

sounds ok to me....! some people are far too picky me thinks. Many thanks
Too bad the bitrate and the samplerate are too low. It hurts my ears in the higher frequencys and my gets too crispy. This could have been avoided with a higher convertor quality.
i love the siren. i'm here in Chicago (no cool Euro sirens for us) and will use this as my cell ringtone. very nice effect - all the ppl on the subway will turn and wonder what the heck is going on when they hear birds followed by a UK siren! thanks for the cool sound piece dude!
the siren in the middle is a bit rubbish. why not try and make another recording if you're not going to edit it out?

Fall From Grace: The 2007-2008 Pittsburgh PanthersJanuary 30, 2008
The beginning of the '07-'08 campaign looked bright for Jamie Dixon and the Pittsburgh Panthers.
They began the season 10-0, earned a well-fought road win at Washington, and blew out Oklahoma State before heading on the road for their first real test of the year.
Then, on December 20th, the Panthers went into MSG and pulled off a major upset—a 65-64 victory over the seventh-ranked Duke Blue Devils, improving their record to an impressive 11-0 and vaulting them to sixth in both the ESPN and AP rankings. Star guard Levance Fields was the hero, hitting the game-winning three-pointer in overtime.
During the battle with Duke, Mike Cook, one of the Panthers' starting forwards and team leaders, tore his ACL, knocking him out for the season. Nine days later against the Dayton Flyers, Fields broke his left foot, and the Panthers lost by 25 points, falling to 11-1.
It was the beginning of the end.
With Cook out for the season, and Fields out eight to twelve weeks, the Panthers have struggled, losing on the road at Cincinnati and then at home at the Zoo against Rutgers by double digits.
In the game against the Scarlet Knights, the Panthers were outscored by 20 in the second half. Keep in mind they were at home, and playing against one of the worst teams in the Big East (2-7 conference, 10-11 overall). It became clear that the losses of Cook down low and Fields running the point had become major factors.
The fact is that the end of an era at Pittsburgh is upon us. Ben Howland built up the program's reputation from 2000 to 2003 before leaving for UCLA, but the tides have begun to turn.
Ronald Ramon and the injured Mike Cook are seniors. Juniors Levance Fields and Sam Young will be coveted draft picks this spring. The Panthers will have a new leader next year, likely young rebounding specialist DeJuan Blair, and he will certainly have a heavy load to carry.
The Panthers will undoubtedly make the tournament. They are 16-4 and have only one ranked team left on their schedule for the season. Their lucky number is 65—the number of teams that make the dance.
It is the years to come that Panther fans should be concerned about.

Jordanians protest despite national dialogue start
AMMAN, Jordan—Hundreds of Jordanians calling for reforms demonstrated peacefully Friday, rejecting the beginning of a national dialogue as insufficient.
It was the 11th straight week of Friday protests.
On Saturday, the first meeting of the dialogue committee is set to start work on reforms in Jordan's regime, in which the king has the final say on important issues, though the parliament is an elected body.
The demonstrators say the parliament was chosen through a distorted map of election districts favoring the backers of King Abdullah II, and it must be replaced.
The king has given the 53-member committee three months to draft new laws for parliamentary elections and political parties. While these are key demands for the protesters, some opposition figures have refused to participate, saying the government appointed people without consultating them, and some political groups were not represented.
The committee's chairman, Taher Masri, who also heads Jordan's Senate, has promised a national dialogue that "leads to better democratic life" in Jordan, but the protesters said they were not convinced.
"I would call the national dialogue stillborn," said Sabri Akroush, an independent activist.
About 1,500 demonstrators from Islamic Action Front, the country's largest opposition party, joined leftists and independents marching past the al-Husseini mosque in Amman's downtown market district after Muslim prayers on Friday. Waving Jordanian flags, they chanted, "No to the National Dialogue Committee, dissolve the parliament."
The largely peaceful demonstrations inspired by uprisings across the Middle East have not threatened the monarchy but are calling for U.S.-allied King Abdullah to relinquish some of his sweeping powers.
The powerful Muslim Brotherhood opposition and their leftist allies also demand the popular election of the prime minister, now appointed by the king.
Brotherhood spokesman Jamil Abu Bakr ruled out participation by the Islamist opposition in the national dialogue.
"We have presented our conditions and they were not taken into consideration, particularly the constitutional amendments," he said during the protest.
Abu Bakr also cast doubt on those participating in the national dialogue, saying "the committee will not be capable of making decisions that meet people's aspirations." Others refusing to participate claim the group had too many pro-government loyalists to institute change.
The deputy chief of the leftist National Unity Party, Issam al-Khawaja, said his group will take part in the beginning of national dialogue as a vehicle for laying down its demands.
"We want broad constitutional reforms, not just changes to the election and political parties laws," he said at the Friday protest.
He said his group will press for the introduction of a constitutional court to rule on the validity of laws and amendments made in previous years.

Rensselaer Revival
by Adam Wodon/Managing Editor
It's been 15 years since Rensselaer last won an ECAC tournament championship — Dan Fridgen's first season as head coach. It's also the last time it made the NCAAs.
And it's been 25 years since RPI won a national championship.
In the mean time, it's been four years since fresh-faced Seth Appert left his post as assistant coach at Denver, where he helped the Pioneers win two national titles of their own, to take over the Engineers. He did so among questions about whether RPI, a scholarship hockey school but within a small Division III institution, was even capable of getting close to such lofty heights again.
Those questions have not been answered, but well into his fourth season, Appert has shown that RPI can at least put an entertaining and competitive product on the ice, and contend in the ECAC. Those are pretty good steps in and of themselves, because as of late last year, that was still a question.
RPI had shown little progress in the wins and losses department by the middle of last season, with seasons of 10 and 11 wins in Appert's first two years, followed by just seven wins headed into last year's postseason. Fridgen's teams were never that bad. They had regularly won 20 games, as maddening as some of those seasons had been, before tailing off dramatically in his last two years at the helm.
Then, it clicked.
Allen York, a freshman goalie from Wetaskiwin, Alberta, with only two wins in the regular season, played great in winning two straight at Dartmouth to take the first-round ECAC playoff series. York followed that up with a brilliant 32-save performance in a 1-0 win at dreaded Lynah Rink in Game 1 of the quarterfinal series. RPI went on to lose the next two games, but a turning point had been established.
This year, you could tell the difference early. A win at New Hampshire, a tie at Alaska — both NCAA-bound teams if the season ended today. Then, three straight league wins to open the season, followed by a win at Boston University, and then against Michigan at Joe Louis Arena in the Great Lakes Invitiational.
The ECAC season has had its ups and downs for sure for RPI. The team still finished sixth, after all. But progress has been established.
"We had a good run in the second half," Appert said. "I think we dropped some games that we should've won, but this kind of consistency and effort over six periods, on the road against some pretty good teams, I think is an indication we're ready for some playoff hockey."
Of course, it's been a combination of things. Appert tore down the roster, and re-built it again with his players. That took time to re-establish. He found his goalie in York, and he found his role players. And then he found his studs.
One of them is junior Chase Polacek, an Edina, Minn., native who has flourished this season after scoring 11 goals last year. Polacek has 25 goals, 50 points, and has shown no signs of slowing down; he is among the national leaders in all categories and a legitimate Hobey finalist contender.
Polacek's surge coincided with the arrival of Jerry D'Amigo, the most exciting recruit RPI landed in years. D'Amigo, a native of nearby Binghamton, N.Y., was a U.S. National Team product. He scored in his first game against Massachusetts, and fit in immediately. His first year has been up-and-down goal-scoring wise, but he has 10 goals and 32 points, and is already a key member of the penalty kill unit.
D'Amigo also gained invaluable experience — as well as rave reviews — during his time with the U.S. World Junior team, which won a gold medal in Regina, Saskatchewan in January, defeating Canada in the gold-medal game. D'Amigo was a key contributor on the team, and opened a lot of eyes.
"Playing for your country is just one of the best feelings in the World," said D'Amigo, the day before the U.S. Olympic team just missed matching the World Junior squad's feat. "Hopefully I can keep it going. That's one of my goals — making it to the NHL, and then hopefully one day the Olympics.
"It's great. I had fun with it. It's something some people don't get a lot of chance to do. And to do that at my age, feel the crowd, 15,000 against you — it's great. It makes you work harder."
When D'Amigo returned from the World Junior tournament, Appert decided to give him a little rest, similar to what the Buffalo Sabres did with Ryan Miller when he returned from the Olympics.
"It was a grueling two weeks. It's tough to come back and get back in the rhythm of things when you're mentally drained and physically also," D'Amigo said. "But I stuck with it, and coach gave me the right amount of time off to go back to my family — because I missed Christmas. He made the right decision to give me the time off, and I think it helped in the long run here."
Interestingly, it's harder for D'Amigo to be the stud scorer right now, than it was for Team USA, even though the skill level in that tournament is higher overall.
"You've got tougher guys in college hockey. They definitely have their eye out for me now," he said. "They saw when I can do. It's tough in the games, but I just have to keep battling through it, and it will make me stronger hopefully."
Said Appert, "That's a higher level of talent, but he's playing against 23-, 24-year old men back here. I think some people forget. And people underestimate the mental and physical grind. So we intentionally gave him a lot of time off after. But he's a great player. I have a tough time imagining a more complete freshman."
It doesn't end there, because fellow freshmen Brandon Pirri and Marty O'Grady have 10 and nine goals, respectively, as well.
But the most glaring difference between RPI of past years and now, is the intensity and discipline the team brings to each game. There have been ups and downs to be sure, but the difference is noticeable, as it was in last Saturday's regular-season finale, when RPI tied Cornell 1-1 at Lynah Rink.
"That's what we're striving for," Appert said. "It hasn't always been there for 60 minutes this year. But I think that's why you've seen us have little bumps up and down. But think some of that is due to maturity, and we've gained a lot of it. I think we're ready to take that next step. The upperclassmen I think have learned now what it takes to win, and the freshmen have already played in a lot of big moments."
In the game, RPI wound up needing a win to come in fifth instead of sixth. And even though the difference is not really a big deal, mentally, Appert thought it was something to go after.
"That's just the mentality I wanted to instill in the guys, that we wanted to win," Appert said. "I wanted them to play to win. It wasn't about the seedings or who we were going to play, it was about the mentality of wanting to attack.
"I thought about it ... and then when I really decided was going to overtime, I just really liked the way our guys were playing, and I decided we were going to go out and take a swing and try to win this thing."
So, what will happen against Brown this weekend, and thereafter ... who's to say? But the long-range hopes emanating from Troy are higher than they've been in a long time.

text: Hey there. If anyone would be interested in helping me build something really simple, I'd appreciate it. I'm not looking for anything that looks good.. I just want it to work. I've built an application that shows newspaper-styled comic strips, one slide at a time, and I am looking to change the way that the images are downloaded or viewed on one's device. Currently, I'm creating a new activity for each comic and then uploading every single image (which is currently over 700 images). I have 16 comics and the apk is almost 50Mb. Many people don't want to download anymore purely because of the size, which I understand. Here's what my app currently looks like: When you open the app, it shows a scrolling list of all of the available comics. You click on a comic, it takes you to a new activity and shows you the first slide. When you click the slide, it changes an integer to "1" and shows a new slide when a condition is met of "1". Click that slide again and it changes the int to "2" and the condition matches to show the next slide. When it's at the last slide, clicking it will go back to the list of comics. That's all it is. My goal is to get the size of the apk down as low as possible. I guess I have two ideas for what I am looking for. One idea is that the images are loaded from my own website. However, I don't know how to do this.. and I can't fully grasp the examples I'm looking at. The downside I have to this option is that it would only work while connected to the internet. The other idea I have is that when you select a comic from the list, it downloads all of the images for that one comic, and then starts the comic like normal when it finishes. After you finish reading the comic, you can either leave the comic on the device, or delete the images with the exception of the original "title image" that shows on the list. I prefer this option because you wouldn't need to be on the internet. I don't feel that this is a complicated application for someone who knows what they're doing.. but I just don't get how to do the whole url requests or downloading images from my server. Thanks for reading.

In Reply to: Put on a show posted by Smokey Stover on July 24, 2007
: : What do 'worth his salt' and 'put on a show' mean?
: "Worth his salt" means worth his salary, worth his pay, or worth paying. Salary comes from salarius, the fixed payments that Roman soldiers received for buying salt (everyone needs salt).
: "Put on a show" needs context. You've probably heard the modern expression, "She turns everything into a drama." "Put on a show" COULD mean, depending on context, making an exaggerated production out of a simple explanation, or something else normally fairly simple, such as turning an apology into a production number, lacking only the orchestra. It could mean other things, like actually putting on a show.
There is also "put up a show." He puts up a brave show, but he's really quaking in his boots. Alternatively, he puts up a brave front, which is probably more common. She puts up a big show of hating his guts--actually, she's a pushover for him.

Start by imagining a square on the ground roughly one foot by one foot or larger. Standing on the bottom left corner of the square, and keeping your feet together, hop sideways to the bottom right corner, then diagonally to the top left corner, then sideways to the top right corner, and finally diagonally back to the bottom left corner. Repeat this pattern for a set number of repetitions then rest. Now start on the bottom right corner of the square and repeat the pattern in reverse; hop sideways to the bottom left, diagonally to the top right, sideways to the top left and diagonally back to the bottom right. Complete the same number of repetitions as with the reverse pattern.

About the book:
Following 2011's critically-acclaimed, bestselling science biography FEYNMAN, Jim Ottaviani returns with an action-packed account of the three great woman primatologists of the last century: Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Birute Galdikas. These three ground-breaking researchers were all students of the great Louis Leakey, and each made profound contributions to primatology--and to our own understanding of ourselves.
Tackling Goodall, Fossey, and Galdikas in turn, and covering the highlights of their respective careers, PRIMATES is an accessible, entertaining, and informative look at the field of primatology and at the lives of three of the most remarkable women scientists of the twentieth century. With charming and inviting illustrations by Maris Wicks, this is a nonfiction graphic novel that will appeal to a very wide variety of readers.
Jim Ottaviani is a librarian at U-M. has written nonfiction, science-oriented comics since 1997, notably the number one New York Times bestseller, Feynman and Fallout which was nominated for an Ignatz Award. He has worked as a nuclear engineer, caddy, programmer, and reference librarian. Primates is his first collaboration with artist Maris Wicks.
John Mitani is the James N. Spuhler Collegiate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department of Anthropology. He is a primate behavioral ecologist, who for over 30 years has studied the behavior of our closest living relatives, the apes.
The Author's Forum is a collaboration between the U-M Institute for the Humanities, University Library, Great Lakes Literary Arts Center, & Ann Arbor Book Festival.

text: Multifest director says event looking to bounce back By Kate White February 24, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Embarrassment over an embezzlement scandal, which threatens to cripple Multifest, is driving the event's board members to clean house, the festival's executive director said."It's very important for us to show our transparency and let our sponsors know we're going to do things the right way," Vicky Keene said Sunday.Board members met Saturday night to discuss the importance of transparency and running the festival as a company, Keene said.Last month, Deborah Starks, wife of former Multifest director Stephen Starks, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to tax fraud. Deborah Starks, who handled much of the financial activity for the festival, admitted that she embezzled more than $300,000 from Multifest between 2005 and 2010.The festival board cut ties with the Starks, hired accountants Gray, Griffith & Mays to supervise finances and have scheduled weekly meetings to turn things around, according to Keene."There's no room to take a breath," she said. "After work [board members] are putting all of their time into Multifest - a lot of officials are on the phone until one-thirty, two in the morning."We're doing whatever it takes for Multifest to get back up and running."The summer festival, held on the state Capitol grounds, relies mostly on corporate sponsorships. The city of Charleston and the Kanawha County Commission have also provided support. But many sponsors, in light of the embezzlement, haven't said for sure if they plan to continue giving money."We've talked to the commission, and we're in the process of making appointments with Toyota and trying to get around to all of our sponsors," Keene said.Saturday, board members found the organization's bylaws and reflected on the significance of the event."We dug through old things ... myself, I didn't even know bylaws existed," said Keene, who has been on the board for 15 years. "There's nothing else like Multifest in West Virginia - it's something that caters to the masses, not only black people or only white people, whatever nationality you may be.""We have to make sure it's brought back correctly."Community members are encouraged to attend meetings to plan this year's festival. There's a meeting at 7 p.m. today at Keene's home. She can be reached at 304-590-2535. Also, there's room for three additional board members."I told everyone at the meeting last night, if you think you want to become part of the board I'm more than happy to interview you, but we have to make sure you're fit," Keene said. "We can't allow what happened before to happen again." Reach Kate White at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1723.

Praise for A History of the Internet and the Digital Future due in September 2010 (Reaktion Books in the UK, University of Chicago Press in the US)
"Both an enormously useful work and great read. Read it and understand what has made the Internet different."
–Professor Tim Wu, Columbia Law School
"Thanks to the proliferation of cloud services, ubiquitous, low-cost bandwidth, and new devices like smartphones, and the iPad, there are fewer obstacles to innovation than ever before. In the next decade, the "office" need not be much more than an Internet connection. Johnny Ryan takes us through the history of the Internet to demonstrate how it has changed everything. But that's not all; he also identifies what's to come in the future. We are in a new era of transformation that has been powered by the Internet. Understanding the trends driving this revolution is pivotal to success. Consider this book your road map to getting there."
–Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO of salesforce.com
"an engrossing, well-written account of the Internet's founding and the backstory of the underlying protocols and plumbing, which draws on that rich history to make predictions about the net's future."
--Cory Doctorow, BoingBoing
"Johnny Ryan has admirably captured the sweep of the Internet's development from its earliest days, showing us how its profound impact is in part an accident of history, a phenomenon whose most interesting and liberating aspects could fade without reinforcement of its core values."
–Professor Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law, Harvard Law School and Kennedy School.
"Ryan describes a fundamental shift and dispersion of power from traditional centres of power to the networked individual. This is a must-read for both governments and companies who need to fully understand this shift in power and the implications has on how they interact with the networked individuals who represent their citizens, customers, suppliers."
–Susanne Dirks, Leader, Global Centre for Economic Development (IBM Institute for Business Value)
"Jesse Ventura shocked the world in 1998 with his internet-powered election victory. About the campaign organization, Johnny Ryan correctly states, 'The centre was weak, but the periphery strong. Connecting the two was the Internet….' Ryan understands the power shift that the Internet is. If you see the internet as Ryan does, you will understand how Craigslist kills newspapers, how Facebook rises from nothing and why everything is being invented anew."
–Phil Madsen, pioneer of online politics (campaign manager of Jesse Ventura '98)
"Absolutely fascinating … If I had to pick one book about the Internet, this would be it!"

Cape Town -
The South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) and the South African Zionist Federation (SAZF) have joined Israeli political and religious leaders and other international Jewish organisations in expressing outrage and horror at the killing of Palestinian teenager Mohammed Abu Khdeir.
Abu Khdeir was kidnapped and murdered on July 2.
It was reported that Israeli police had arrested six Jewish suspects in connection with the murder.
"We commend Israeli authorities for acting swiftly in arresting those charged with participating in this vigilante act and welcome the words of Israeli President Shimon Peres that the harshest action will be taken against the six Israelis suspected of kidnapping and murdering the teenager," said Wendy Kahn, national director of the SAJBD, and Ben Swartz, vice-chairman of the SAZF, in a press statement.
Peres was quoted as saying: "If a Jew kills they will be put to the court like any other criminal, there is no privilege. The law is equal to all and all are equal before the law."
He added that the country did not "distinguish between blood and blood... The murder of a child is reprehensible, regardless of the religion or nationality of the child".
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu phoned the teenager's father, Hussein Abu Khdeir, on Monday to express his shock and horror at the murder of his son. "I want to express my shock, and the shock of all Israeli citizens, at the heinous murder of your son," he said in the call, according to a statement by his office.
"We acted immediately afterward to locate the murderers, and they will be brought to justice," he added. "We reject all cruel behaviour, and the murder of your son is heinous and cannot be accepted by any human being," he said.
The SAJBD and the SAZF noted that two Palestinians from the Hebron area visited the Fraenkel family, whose son Naftali was one of three teenagers killed two weeks earlier. In turn, the uncle of Naftali Fraenkel contacted Hussein Abu Khdeir on Sunday to offer his condolences.
Fraenkel said that "we expressed our deep empathy with their sorrow, from one bereaved family to another bereaved family".
The SAZF and SAJBD said these acts should assist in bringing peace to the troubled region.
"It is our sincere hope that the above acts of courage and forgiveness will shine a light in the region and that all parties will do what it takes to bring peace to a region that will see two secure states, living alongside each other, and that both the Israelis and Palestinians will do what is necessary to bring that about," their statement read.

Looking for ways to reduce your carbon footprint? If you are a commercial business owner in Ottawa, installing a polished concrete flooring system is a great way to implement green building tactics at your company. Not only is concrete eco-friendly, it's an extremely affordable commercial flooring option. In the long run, a concrete floor will save you time and money when it comes to upkeep. Think about it: Polished concrete just needs soap and water; it won't need to be vacuumed or shampooed like carpet; and it won't need replacing like damaged tile would; and concrete is easier on the environment than a wood flooring system.
A concrete floor at your place of business is showing your customers and employees that you are committed to the earth as well as your company's bottom line. It just makes sense! So if you are looking to replace or install new flooring at your Ottawa business, look into a polished concrete floor today.
Check out this great Ottawa polished concrete company.

the thing that helped me to quit.....
was to do something with my fingers.
when i quit i was showing movies in sports clubs.
smoking was allowed in the club.
so i was in a smokey environment all day, and 1/2 the night.
i purchased a carton of straight pretzils.
that is 12 tins.
i used to slowly chew on a pretzil, instead of holding a cigarete.
there is less calories in a pretzil, than it takes to chew it.... so it is kind of healthy. lol
it worked for me.
also i was very stuborn.
i believe being stubon was the most important, if you are not determined, it is easy to fall.

The family of local man Don Pellett, who passed away on Friday June 27 at the age of 89, has paid tribute to the man they called "Mr Bexhill."
Don died in the Conquest Hospital of complications following a fall and a broken leg, leaving them to come to terms with the loss of a "brilliant", "larger-than-life", generous and warm personality who meant the world to them.
He was well known in the past in local football as first a talented player but then as successful manager of Bexhill Town football club.
Don leaves four daughters - Donna, Susan, Angela, and Kathryn - as well as eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
He was born in Sidley on June 12 1925 and was one of eight children.
He left school at 14 and went on to work in the building trade after serving as a teenager in the Navy during WW2 from 1943-45.
After the war, he returned to Bexhill and worked his way up the industry in companies such as Larkin before setting up his own business, D.R Pellett.
He was a keen sportsman who enjoyed football and boxing, and having played in Hastings and Bexhill, as well as Sidley, he became manager of Bexhill Town in 1965 and that year saved the club from relegation.
The team went on to win the Sussex County League in 1965/66 and 66/67, and were runners-up the following season. The team also won the Sussex Intermediate Cup and by coincidence his grandson Graham also achieved this when playing for Hastings Town.
Don had married Mary in 1954 and they brought their family up in first Eversley Road and then Linden Road, where Don lived for 55 years.
His daughters have fond memories of setting off in a VW campervan for holidays in France and Spain as Don was keen to take them to experience different places and enjoy the adventure.
Younger sister Maureen said: "The thing about Don was that he knew everybody. He liked talking to people. He was the sort of man you heard before you saw him," and his daughters this week remembered a man who could not walk through Tesco supermarket without chatting to almost everyone in it, and who became "an extended Grandad" to many outside his own family.
Sue helped look after him daily towards the end of his life and said: "I thought I was the lucky one to do that. But he loved us all equally, and we loved him equally. We were his absolute everything."
Don was especially proud to accompany Angela with her soldier son Lee Hastings who was invited to attend the Queen's garden party to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Grenadier Guards.
The funeral will held on Monday July 14 at Eastbourne crematorium from 11.30am. Immediate family flowers only, so donations to be made to Towner in Albert Road.

Connections To Crisis
West Bank and Gaza, January 7, 2009
When Cara Van Goder-Lasof's students returned to school from winter break, she had some sad news for them. One of the students from Gaza that they'd gotten to know over the previous months was dead.
"They've been feeling pretty upset about it," says Cara. "They're feeling a lot of anger, frustration and sadness over this."
Cara's class at Open Meadow - an alternative high school for at-risk youth in Portland, Oregon - has been participating in Global Youth Connectivity, a program that links students from the Middle East with their peers in the United States. For almost three years, Mercy Corps has connected hundreds of Palestinian youth with their peers at high schools in the U.S. through this program. Global Youth Connectivity was designed as a way to build cross-cultural connections that reduce isolation, create more accurate perceptions and deepen each group's understanding of the other's political and social realities.
Cara's classroom had been corresponding with a group of Gazan students, holding videoconferences, trading videos and sending e-mails about their lives in their respective countries. One student in Gaza was a 14-year-old named Christine. In the words of a classmate, Christine was "more active than most adults", spending her days in school and her afternoons and weekends harvesting olives. What free time she had she spent keeping in touch with her "GloPals" (as they call each other) in the United States.
But on the first of January, Christine suffered a heart attack and passed away, just as bombs started falling nearby her family's home.
"It's a huge loss to them," Cara says of her students at Open Meadow. "They've had so many quality exchanges with the students in Gaza."
Cara also says that Christine's death is compounded by the worries that her students are having about the situation in Gaza, something that they wouldn't have paid much attention to had it not been for this program.
"They already have so much going on in their lives and so many stresses that they don't have a lot of time to just sit down and watch the news," Cara explained. "So for them to be paying attention to this, I found that really amazing."

Time to crack down on those fat American Kulaks stuffing themselves at Burger King. Time to make them move and then make them starve. Redistribute their food to the Third World.
If you loved wealth redistribution, remember that money is just the tip of the redistribution iceberg. In the USSR, wealth redistribution gave way to food redistribution. And the UNSSR is moving along that same road.
The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) – has issued a new report called Our Nutrient World: The challenge to produce more food and energy with less pollution.
People in the rich world should become "demitarians" – eating half as much meat as usual, while stopping short of giving it up – in order to avoid severe environmental damage, scientists have urged.
Sutton was speaking about the rich west, the US and Europe in particular. He wants the change in diet to be pioneered in Europe, as the US will be a tougher nut to crack.
The UN scientists said people in poor countries should be allowed to increase their consumption of animal protein, which billions of people are lacking. But if that is so as not to cause environmental harm, the move to meat in the developing world must be balanced with a reduction in the amount consumed in developed countries.
Mark Sutton is apparently an environmental physicist which qualifies him to propose a new Marxist diet.
In the foreword to this report, Achim Steiner, the head of UNEP, says that "swift and collective action" is necessary and that "our daily decisions" matter.
A more sophisticated set of aspirations must therefore emphasize how the lives of all can be enhanced by allowing the poorest to increase their food and other nutrient consumption, while the richest realise for themselves that it is not in their own interests to over-consume.
Time to crack down on those fat American Kulaks stuffing themselves at Burger King. Time to make them move and then make them starve. Redistribute their food to the Third World.
It's for the environment and the red planet.

text: What's the best window setting for fullscreen games with xmonad? I want tiling most of the time, but for fullscreen games I'd prefer to have xmonad keep its hands off. But if I use doFloat, then my game is almost fullscreen but has an ugly red border around it (I like the border when I'm using tiled windows, just not for fullscreen games, otherwise I'd just disable it entirely), and if I use doIgnore, then my game gets mouse focus but not keyboard focus. Neither option is optimal. Is there a way to disable the border on a per window basis, or to make it give an ignored window keyboard focus before ignoring it, or some other clever hack?

The original purpose for the construction of the Settlers canal was to bring irrigation to the prairie and sage brush lands on the south side of the Boise River to entice settlers into the area. The Settlers canal begins on the south side of the Boise River at a point on the head of Government Hay Reservation now known as Ann Morrison Park.
The original locators of the canal and water right were Christian R. Purdum, Adolphus Purdum, and William H. Smith. They made their filing on October 17, 1884, and claimed 50,000 inches of water. By 1891 water flowed through the canal.
Work on the canal was started and stopped between the years of 1884 and 1904 as the boundaries expanded and the name changed from The Settlers Ditch Company to the Lemp Canal to Settlers Canal Company, Ltd. and finally Settlers Irrigation District in 1904. There are now 13,187 acres included in the District.
The canal now measures approximately 20 miles in length with 95 miles of laterals and it conveys approximately 9,322.15 miner's inches of water. Water deliveries for the main canal begin at North Mitchell Street and end approximately one half mile west of Black Cat Road dumping into the Five Mile Drain. Water deliveries for the south side of the Settlers' Canal begin west of Five Mile Road and south of Ustick Road eventually dumping into a Nampa and Meridian Irrigation District drain below Black Cat Road.

Library president pleads guilty to drunk driving
The president of the New York Public Library pleaded guilty this morning to driving drunk in his library-issued Audi. Judge Jennifer Schecter didn't exactly throw the book at Marx – under the terms of his plea deal with prosecutors, the first time offender will pay a $500 fine and have his license revoked for six months. He'll also have to submit to 16 counseling sessions and complete a drunk driving program, and have an ignition interlock device installed in any car he chooses to drive after he gets his license back.

Missing ex-FBI agent in hostage video: 'Help me'
The family of retired FBI agent Robert Levinson, who vanished years ago in Iran, issued a plea to his kidnappers Friday and, for the first time, released a hostage video they received from his unidentified captors. The video message released on the Levinson family's website publicly transformed the mysterious disappearance into an international hostage standoff. Despite a lengthy investigation, however, the US government has no evidence of who is holding the 63-year-old father of seven. Read More & Watch the Video: New York Post

We are hoping to be able to visit my husband's family sometime in December (maybe not actually at Christmas, depending on what time I can get off from my job). This trip is about a 9-hour car ride with no traffic or construction, so typically it ends up being 10-12 hours depending on these factors. Our daughter will be 5 1/2 months old by then. Typically she travels well in the car, and is generally a sunshiney baby.
So I have a dilemma regarding how to travel.
Flying would be faster, but I hate and fear the TSA security theatre, it seems like a lot of stuff to lug through the airport especially if we have to make a connection (including a car seat, because the grandparents won't have one), and it's expensive (though we can swing the cost if need be), with added expense because I probably won't know much in advance when I will be free.
If we drove, we'd save money, we'd have our own car and car seat and could stop whenever we wanted, and we could easily transport as much stuff as we needed, but it would take forever, our daughter might get bored and be more difficult (she's been fine on shorter trips but 9-12 hours is a long time), and I'd have to either express milk and bottle feed, or stop every time she wants to nurse, which could be just a couple of times but could be more often and there's really no way to predict.
So I'm trying to think outside the box. My husband really wants his grandma to meet the baby, so putting off the trip until next year isn't desirable. We took a bus once and vowed never to again as it was a miserable experience--took forever and the communication was horrible. Carpooling would have all the drawbacks of driving ourselves. But what about Amtrak? Fares are very reasonable, security probably will be nothing like the TSA, we could buy an extra seat for her car seat if we wanted, we could get up and walk her if she gets fussy, and I could breastfeed her on the train. The only drawback I can think of is that the train leaves really early in the morning from a town 3 hours away, so we would have to leave in the middle of the night to catch the train. And we'll still have to schlep stuff the way we would when flying.
WWYD? Anyone taken Amtrak with a baby? Any thoughts on the flying or driving and the attendant hassles?
HOWEVER, this is the smaller, simpler airport in the area. If we'd have flown out of JFK (huge, unmanageable security line) we probably would have dealt with much more stupid security theater and generally it would have been awful.
It was a lot of stuff but I think without the carseat, it would have been easily manageable. Next time the grandparents are going to buy him a seat for their car so we don't have to travel with it (we can take public transport to the airport).
I think a train would have been a GREAT option, however, some Amtrak trains don't have assigned seats and it can be difficult to find two or three seats together. This is especially true for weekend trains on the Eastern seaboard. I would be worried about that and try to get reserved seats. The trains can also be very cramped.
We just did a huge trip - from Europe to the US (Oregon & Michigan) and back to Europe. The big legs were trains and planes, with auto travel in the US.
I found driving in the car to be the worst - and I was always in the back seat with the girl. The longest car trip was ~6 hours. It was awful. She hates the car seat, and it is such a big production to stop & nurse or walk around. But then, we don't own & rarely use a car where we live. Maybe she just isn't use to it.
The air-travel was just fine, and often great. We did fly out of big huge airports, with big security lines, etc etc. They never made me take the girl out of the wrap ... just walked right through the metal detector (never made us go in the scanner), and then took me aside to swipe my hands with a bit of tissue & done. I had heard stories about babies ears giving problems on planes, but it was never a problem for us. We nursed lots, and I did give her a dose of nose drops about a half hour before scheduled take off. There were changing tables in all the plans we were on. We walked around on the plane the few times she was fussy durring the long-haul flights. AA, and I bet most others, lets you take car seats for free, and will let you use an empty seat if there is one next to you. And everyone wants to help (move you to better seats or whatever) because everyone, everyone wants a happy or sleeping baby on a plane. Everyone.
I found trains to be like planes in terms of walking around, comfort ,etc ... and it was nice to not have to go through security, or have my usual fear-of-flying feelings. But on a train you have to deal with luggage. Ugh. We just had two suitcases, daypacks, and a baby ... and it was a hassle. Much easier in the airport where we could just grab a luggage cart. But if you can go super light, then the train is a winner.
Good luck with your trip.
We did an eight-hour car trip (and back) when the girls were two months old. They did a really good job at sleeping and sleeping, then we would stop about every three hours and feed them (had backup bottles of milk, but didn't need to use them.
At two and a half months, we flew to Europe. We tried really hard to minimize what we were carrying (stroller, one big suitcase, a big backpack, a diaper bag (backpack), and a briefcase for the four of us) such that I could manage everything if I had to (pushing a double stroller and pulling a suitcase, wearing a backpack, one backpack and the briefcase hooked to the back of the stroller...very awkward, but it can be done)
I have to say that flying was much nicer because I could nurse any time at all. There was less energy spent trying to guess when exactly everyone would need to eat.
I expect the train would be similar.
It's great to travel with babies who have no expectation that they can get down and run around any time they want...
I've done all of the above, all BY MYSELF. Let me say, the train was by far the most awesome. I took a 30-hour car trip with my 3-month-old (15 hrs each way, and stayed with a friend midway), a plane trip from VA to TX and back when he was 7 months, and the train (10 hour trip each way) when he was 11 months. Amtrak was great. I didn't pay for a seat for him, but did carry my carseat along. However, Amtrak seats don't have seatbelts, so you can't actually install a carseat. I just left it where they have space for luggage. You can check I think 3 bags for no fees. No one makes you take off your shoes. You can nurse. You can walk up and down the length of the train. There's no changing table in the bathroom, but there's plenty of space to put down a pad. I would totally do the train again.
Mama to Silas Anansi, born 9/9/10 and Petra Eadaion, born 10/1/12.
I would also vote train! I've flown extensively with both kids (first my oldest alone and then both) - mostly on my own. I despise being in the car so I rarely travel that way.
I recently took a short train trip - 2 hrs - with both kids solo and it was awesome! You can walk up and down the aisles, there's a plug to put a DVD player (for my older kid.) I'm even contemplating it for an overnight trip next summer. You're not strapped in like the plane or the car, you don't have to deal with motion sickness, it was easy to nurse and play. Hands down, my favorite way to travel.
Flying is OK - I don't mind the security nonsense. It would go train, flying. I wouldn't even consider the car, but my kids hate cars.

Thanks for the input, ladies. I think we have decided on me taking the train with the baby and my husband driving. Doesn't make sense to me, but he says he wants to be on his own schedule and not have to deal with people--he doesn't want to take the train, but doesn't mind if I do, and since I REALLY don't want to fly or drive, it seems best to me. Plus he won't have to stop as often without me and my tiny bladder along (baby notwithstanding!)
.... funny that you say that - DH drives and I fly when we have to travel to see my parents. There is no way in HECK that I'm putting 2 kids in the car for 13 hours and he hates flying with a passion. It works for us!

Manhattan Beach, CA, United States, 2012/02/02 - With a $20 million AUD investment from the Indigenous Land Corporation, Ayers Rock Resort will offer refurbished rooms, new convention center, aboriginal art gallery, indigenous employment program and spa and wellness center.
Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia and the Indigenous Land Corporation have begun the largest transformation of Ayers Rock Resort since its opening in 1982. Stage one entails an extensive refurbishment of all guest rooms and public areas at the five star Sails in the Desert Hotel.
All rooms will feature new furniture, curtains, linens, LCD TVs, carpet inspired by the topographical map of Uluru and artwork commissioned by local aboriginal artists.

Furthermore, the Indigenous Land Corporation has committed to raising Indigenous employment at the resort to 50 percent by 2018, providing over 300 jobs for Indigenous Australians.
Additional developments at Ayers Rock Resort include a new under-the-stars dining experience, Tali Wiru or Beautiful Dune, relocation and transformation of the Mulgara Art Gallery, a spa focusing on spiritual healing and desert meditation and a Welcome to Country Ceremony in the Ayers Rock Airport arrival hall.

How to Use the Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap (Video)
Same product as the popular Victor Tin Cat Mouse Trap, for less!
Catchmaster Multi-Catch Mouse traps (MODEL 612MC) have a very low profile (only 1.75 inches tall) allowing them to be placed in tight areas or under pallets. A clear lid on top of the trap allows easy viewing of your catch. Catchmaster Multi-Catch Mouse traps are perfect for the home or for larger areas such as farms, chicken houses, warehouses, etc. These traps are also excellent for sensitive areas where rodenticides or snap traps are undesirable or prohibited.
Mice like to travel along walls and not across large open areas. Place the Catchmaster Multi-Catch Mouse trap along a baseboard or in a corner. When the area to be controlled is large, the infestation is severe, or to increase the effectiveness of the traps, place several traps along the walls about 10-15 feet apart.
1. Place the Catchmaster Multi-Catch Mouse trap lengthwise against wall or object with entrance holes nearest to that surface.
2. Use peanut butter or other typical mouse bait in the inside chamber to attract mice. (One customer put a dab at the top of the ramps and had great success!)
One very important thing to remember: it may take the mouse 1-2 weeks to become familiar enough with the trap, before it attempts to enter. At first the mouse may just go around the traps or run on top. However, once the mouse knows the trap isn't going anywhere, it will be confident enough to go through the trap. Mice are very cautious about new things in their environment.

Worked in just two days!
By Jeremiah on 03/15/2009

I set up the Catchmaster 612 Mutli-Catch Mouse Trap (with a spoonful of peanut butter) along the wall where I had seen mice running and in just two days I had both mice in the trap. I was clearly able to see the mice through the window on top of the trap. No blood and no guts! I freed the little devils back into the wild.

Works extremely well even outdoors
By Csc in Chicago, IL on 03/26/2010
Got one of these and yes they do work very well. I used mine outside to keep the mice at bay on my patios near my outdoor kitchen during the winter months. In a single weekend I caught 8 mice. The only problem is not with the design of the trap as it does exactly as it advertises, they can't get out once there in. But mice are extremely cannibalistic especially under stressed survival situations. So it was so gross inside the trap that I ended up throwing it way because there was no way I was going to clean that out! Definitely will buy a few more to replace it with.

Outwitted by mice
By Sabine in Santa Fe, New Mexico on 07/22/2009
Well, yes, I caught a mother and baby mouse in one night with cheese, but when I waited another night for the rest of the family to join them they had figured a way out. So this patent does not seem to be all that clever as compared with mice intelligence!
Expert response:
Thank you for your feedback! Mice are very cautious about new things in their environment. It is suggested when using a trap for mice, that it is not disturbed for 2 weeks. After a while, they will begin to investigate so it is best to leave it for at least 2 weeks before moving it to another area or before making any conclusions on the product's effectiveness. Also, please check out the product video on this page for tips and instructions on effective use.

Only worked for a month
By Jill in Nova Scotia on 02/01/2013
The Catchmaster 612 worked really well - for a month. I caught 30 mice, sometimes 4 in one night, and I was happy to release them out in the woods. Then the mice got smart. They have now somehow figured out how to get in, get the bait (dog kibble and sunflower seeds) and get out. The trap still looks in perfect condition, like the day I bought it but it doesn't do its job anymore. Now it is just a mouse feeding station. And it cost nearly $20 with the tax.

Mice Running Amok
By Sherri in Winlock, Wa on 04/13/2010
Verified Purchase
I ordered your Catchmaster 612. The reason I needed it was I rescued 3 baby mice that the parents deserted when I tore down the shed and when I was feeding them one jumped (apparently in their flea stage!!), and darted off under the entertainment center. There he remained and lived for about 2 weeks. My dog alerted me that he had moved under the kitchen queen at which point I grabbed up the catcher, down on my belly on the floor and there he was. Placing the catcher in a strategic position I encouraged him to move forward and BAM he went right into the catcher. I was able to save him and return him to his siblings out in the barn, their new home!!! Thank you.
Great trap
By John in Melita, Manitoba Canada on 08/28/2017
I was a little skeptical when I seen the traps, but put them in the shop and have caught three mice in two of the four traps set this week. These traps in my view work very well, I also put mouse poison in the boxes so I won't have to deal with live mice.
Worked well for the price.
By Kaht in Ada, OK on 06/29/2017
I have a problem in my aviary where mice like to pilfer the doves' sunflower seeds from their feed bowl. Moved the bowl for the night, put one of these loaded with sunflower seeds in the same spot. Next morning, I have three little thieving rodents in it frantically scurrying around. They are a bit flimsy in structure, but I only paid $7 for it at Walmart, so hopefully it catches a lot more mice before it wears out.
Better than a cat !
By Bruce in Fairfax, VA on 06/01/2017
This thing did the job in only two days. Great design in that the top of the trap is clear allowing you to easily see if there are "visitors." Two mice in two days and we're now rodent free. Like everything else we've bought from these folks this one is reasonably priced, easy to use, and it WORKS !

Love this item!!
By Janel in Creston, Iowa on 05/02/2017
This live trap is amazing!! We have caught 11 mice so far! I run an animal rescue and do not want poison out as I have several dogs that can possibly get in it, not to mention I don't need the smell of the mice in my walls after they die. This is a great way to catch the mice, the product is inexpensive and very effective!! I highly recommend anyone with the mouse problem to get this trap!!

By Scott in Tucson, AZ on 11/24/2016
I thought I had only one mouse living under my house, so I bought this trap to catch it and release it on the other side of town. No mouse on the first day, but the second day, I caught one. I took it about 10 miles away and let it run off. When I got home, I put the trap back, but with no bait. About an hour later, another one walked into the trap! Long story short, I caught three mice! No more squeaks coming from under my house! This is a simple, yet wonderful trap. The mice cannot escape no matter how hard they try.

QWill the Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap work for small rats?
I have some small rats around, but they're not big city rats. They are furry. I'm in western Washington. I need something like this that I can catch rats in while protecting my chickens from harm from bait (the chickens will play with and sometimes eat dead mice) or dangerous traps. Will this be too small to catch the odd rat or two? They're very resourceful and smart around here.
A No, Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Traps will not work for small rats. We recommend that you use the Protecta Sidekick bait station with a Trapper T-Rex snap trap inside. This will protect your chickens from the traps and will prevent you from having to use any type of bait. The T-Rex snap trap is very versatile as it can be used inside of the bait station and it can be zip tied or wired to pipes or beams if you suspect the rats are running around on them.

QWill the Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap work on Chipmunks?
AThe Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap will most likely not work for chipmunks. Chipmunks are a bit bigger than mice and may not fit into the trap. Most folks choose to use mouse or rat snap traps for chipmunk control.

QCan I use Contrac Blox in this trap? I have dogs and do not want the poisoned mouse to be around them.
I want something that will keep them where they are at until I can get rid of them.
AWe would not recommend putting Contrac Blox in the Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap. Rodent bait can take up to five days to kill the mouse once they consume the bait. These traps are made to use with glue boards for faster kill. Using a glue board will also insure they cannot escape when you open the lid.

QWill the holes on the side of the multi-catch mouse trap allow mice to get back out?
I know they can get through very small openings--what keeps them from escaping through the vent/air holes on the right and left side?
AOnce the mice get into the Catchmaster 612 Multi-Catch Mouse Trap holding area they cannot get back out. It is true mice can fit through small holes, but the vents on the side of the trap are much too small for the mice to escape. We have sold these for 8 years and never heard of this being an issue.
