Comments and remarks:Just wanted to say "hi" and hope all is going well. Jean talked to her brother, Jerry, and he said he has been communicating with you, Daryl. Blessings, David Shook
Comments and remarks:i just want you to know how much i love cows. they are an awesome breed. and texas long horns are even cooler. ... thank you.
Comments and remarks:I am a very small breeder and infact started raising Texas Registered Longhorns shortly after my husband passed away in 2013. I started with two heifers bred them, kept one heifer calf and was recently given another heifer. I have learned a lot from you on FB and really got excited when I got all my questions answered on your website about Artificial Insemination. I cannot justify keeping a bull with such a very small herd. So thank you so much for all the information I needed to hear and I am hoping that this will be the way I go after calving season this year. It seems so much more cost effective. Thank you again.

I am very interested in Longhorns
Comments and remarks:Am lookin' out my picture window at our growing herd- just did our first branding this year quite successfully- our AWESOME Zhivago son, ARIZONA, is as friendly as his famous dad, and will be the herd sire to replace our Overkill son next season. WE were sad to miss this year's fall program, but will sure try hard to be there next year!
Comments and remarks:I recently purchased a longhorn heifer she's 6 & 1/2 mo. old,I got her at 4 mo. old. I was told her mother dried up at 4 days old & she was given to the lady I bought her from who raised her on goats milk. Cindy said she came from a farm down south & both parents had quite a horn spread. Other than that I don't have much back ground info on her.She's white w/ red speckles. I do know she's quite a charm & I love my little "JENNY" dearly. Thank you so much for the awesome info on the longhorns & I hope to personaly visit your ranch soon.

Comments and remarks:
Comments and remarks:Thanks for sending the 2 straws of semen back to us. We had partnered with 2 other breeders on that order and the straws you sent back belonged to on of them. We don't know how they could have dropped them and they didn't say anything to us about missing any straws. I will contact them and let them know. I do know they are frustrated doing A.I. (too much work). We love it as we are improving our herd so much so quickly. It's really a miracle as we had a calf by Superior born this morning. We are realizing the value of A.I. as we sold a grulla colored cow recently A.I.'d to Coal Smoke for more money than we have ever sold one. Thanks for supplying quality semen. There are so many variables that can go wrong, we depend on your reputation for quality semen.
Comments and remarks:I'm spreadin the word about a book I wrote that exposes the environmental lobby, and their lackies in government, for their relentless crusade to make ranchers look bad and take their grazing lands, not to mention a couple million other crimes against a free society. The book is available at several locations, and can be ordered at the website I have put here...Environmental Mafia us the title. God Bless, R.W.O'Leary

Car Collides With Traffic Sign
A 19-year-old McConnellsburg man was not injured when his westbound 1997 Ford Mustang struck a ditch and crashed into a traffic sign along Route 30 in Licking Creek Township. State police reported Levi J. Ramsey was wearing a seat belt during the 4:29 p.m. crash on Friday, June 5.
Driver Ejected From Car
A 19-year-old Winchester, Va., man and his 16-year-old passenger from the Warfordsburg area were transported to Washington County Hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in a one-vehicle accident in Union Township.
State police reported a whitetailed deer crossed the path of a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire heading northbound on Saturday, June 6, along Harmonia Road. Driver Nicolas Gary-Levin Sheeder swerved to miss the deer, but collided with it, causing his car to strike five to six fenceposts. The car rolled over, ejecting Sheeder, who was tossed approximately 50 feet away in a field. The Pontiac then struck a tree with its left side.
Sheeder sustained moderate injuries, and his passenger suffered minor injuries. Neither was wearing a seat belt. State police were assisted on the scene by members of the Needmore, Hancock and Little Orleans fire companies.
Vehicle Towed From Accident Scene
A 2003 Honda Odyssey driven by a Centreville, Va., resident spun into a set of guiderails along the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 on Saturday, June 6.

At the University of Minnesota, just a slap shot away from Mariucci Arena and Williams Arena, there's a team that operates in the shadows of the nation's No. 1-ranked men's hockey team and two basketball programs riding roller-coaster seasons.
Gophers women's hockey coach Brad Frost has called his team "the best-kept secret in town."
They're rarely on TV, they have trouble filling seats at Ridder Arena, and their star players can float anonymously through campus. But now, a red-hot season and an assault on the national record book have fueled talk that this could be the best team in women's hockey history.
During its NCAA-record 34-game winning streak, which began last February, Minnesota has trailed just twice. The first deficit lasted 39 seconds. The second one came Jan. 12 against North Dakota. That time -- gasp! -- it took 27 minutes for the Gophers to even the score, and it was still tied 1-1 after two periods.
"Honestly, we went into our coaches room after that period and were like, 'This is fantastic,'" Frost said. "We needed it. Last year, the season was full of adversity. And this year, we just haven't faced a ton of it."
The Gophers burst from their locker room and scored five third-period goals against UND, including two by the nation's leading scorer, Amanda Kessel. They haven't trailed since.
After winning their final eight games last year to claim their first NCAA title since 2005, the Gophers are 26-0 heading into Friday night's game against Minnesota Duluth at Ridder Arena.
Minnesota's home rink, which seats 3,400, will be the site of this year's WCHA's Final Face-off, along with the Frozen Four. So the Gophers could wind up playing all but four of their remaining games at home, and it's not hard to imagine them running the table.
It's happened in several other college sports. The Baylor women's basketball team went 40-0 last season. The Cornell men's hockey team skated to a 29-0 finish in 1970. But nobody has done it in women's hockey, which began crowning an NCAA champion in 2001.
"That would definitely be something special to go undefeated the whole year," Gophers goaltender Noora Raty said. "But if we lose one or two games and still win the national championship, it would be a perfect season for us."
One game at a time
Now in his 13th season with the program, and sixth as head coach, Frost said he learned long ago not to talk about national championships during a season. The focus, he said, always should be the next game.
"One of his lines is, 'You guys aren't that good yet,'" said Gophers freshman Hannah Brandt, whose 62 points rank second in the nation behind Kessel's 75.
That might be true in theory, but they've outscored their opponents 147-20, averaging 5.7 goals per game and allowing 0.8.
Kessel, whose brother Phil played one season for the Gophers before jumping to the NHL, has become a force as a junior and likely will represent Team USA in next year's Olympics.
"She's going to be one of the best players in the world," said Raty, who made her Olympic debut as Finland's starting goaltender at age 15 in 2006. "She's the fastest player I've ever seen."
The 5-6 Kessel is just glad she doesn't have to face Raty, who notched her 100th career victory last Sunday, matching an NCAA record.
"Noora steals games for us," Kessel said. "Whenever we need a big save, she's there for us and kind of holds us together."
Throw in hard-shooting senior captain Megan Bozek, a first-team All-America defenseman, and the Gophers have plenty of star talent. Bozek hails from Buffalo Grove, Ill., Kessel from Madison, Wis., and Raty from Espoo, Finland, but the roster features 12 Minnesotans, including three Ms. Minnesota Hockey Award winners in Brandt (Hill Murray), Bethany Brausen (Roseville) and Becky Kortum (Hopkins).
"I think their staff's doing a great job," said Harvard coach Katey Stone, who will coach Team USA at the 2014 Olympics. "They're attracting some tremendous talent, they're developing it, and they have some big-time players."
Stone's Harvard squad, which is 17-2-1, is among the teams that hope to dethrone Minnesota in the NCAA tourney.
One reason the Gophers shouldn't be overconfident is they haven't faced a team this year that's currently ranked higher than eighth. After Minnesota, the rest of top seven are six teams from the East -- Boston College, Harvard, Boston University, Cornell, Clarkson and Mercyhurst.
Best ever?
If the Gophers do indeed run the table, could they go down as the best women's college hockey team of all time?
"It's a fair question," said Natalie Darwitz, a three-time Olympian who was part of NCAA title teams for the Gophers in 2004 and 2005.
"If you're a numbers person, the numbers are there and speak for themselves. I do think it's hard to compare where they're at now versus past teams."
Either way, Darwitz said, what the Gophers are doing is great for the sport.
"The frustrating part," she said, "is it took a 34-game winning streak to start people talking about it."
The Big Ten Network will broadcast Saturday afternoon's game against UMD, but that's Minnesota's only scheduled telecast this season. Last year's NCAA title game wasn't televised and this year's finale, on March 24, won't be either.
Still, Frost has been pleased with his team's increased coverage of late.
"I just don't want them to get complacent and think that they've arrived just because they've had a great first half of the season," said Frost, whose team has eight regular-season games left.
"I've seen a lot of [Gophers] teams play really well in the first half and kind of fade in the second half."
This team is showing no signs of fading. In fact, the spotlight is starting to shine bright.

I have programmed in Turbo Pascal, Basic, Visual Basic, Java, C, and Common Lisp (not that I got good at any of them). I would say that Lisp blows them all away in terms of thinking about a program through the tools of a progamming language. Its funny that when I talk to programmers trained on more popular language breeds, they can be either mystified by what I can accomplish, or annoyed by how I would accomplish something (Dont you know the standard? Your overcomplicating things, we dont need a server for this, just a command <that coincidentally might run a client to a program that runs on a local server>). There are different ways to the top of a mountain, so Im not saying that Lisp in an all powerfull abstraction of perfection. Far from it. Further, a project has good reason to keep itself compartmentalized to a language, mainly maintainability.
With Lisp, when I want to implement something that integrates with a system, I study the system, do exploratory programing, and really figure out how things work. I find that the main architecture of some of my more ambitious Lisp projects require accessing outside programs, so one of the topic I find interesting is IPC, perhaps born out of necessity. With PHP, I would look on the internet for the program that does the thing that I want and tweak it. Perhaps the power of Lisps core gives a fighting chance in these circumstances.
Another important point is that it is relatively hard to find Lisp programmers. This could be considered either a benefit (strategic advantage), or a cost (must overcome bigger hurdles for cooperative efforts).
I think its important to look at the advantages and disadvantages of using Lisp as a primary technology. Further, I think the disadvantages might be like opportunities in disguise. For example, using Lisp, you can design programs that could integrate with any another programming Language seemlessly (from a programmers perspective, maybe not from a system admin's perspective though).
This perspective is based on my very limited experience, and I am very curious about how experience guides in thinking about this topic. Im sure we all have alot to learn from eachother.

I've noticed that many of the forum discussions that TA has tweeted lately have contained glaring grammatical and spelling errors. I find this disappointing and even personally embarrassing as it inevitably reflects not only on the original poster but on the forum as a whole and, by extension, the larger atheist community. I know written communication isn't everything, and it certainly isn't a high priority among the public generally, but we should try to meet a higher standard. Given the unlikelihood that individual posters will suddenly take more care when writing, I think the operators of the site's Twitter feed should consider not tweeting discussion titles with serious errors.
That's one poster's opinion, for whatever it's worth.

Your English is terrific. English is my only language, and I am sure I speak and write differently to Americans. I am sure a lot of people have trouble with some of the things that I 'say' - I am arrogant enough to say, I an not fussed - and I would never pick anybody up on speech or spelling. I am often sent to the dictionary when some smart alec puts up a word of which I have never heard. People (namely me), have been picked up on ending a sentence with a preposition, but, it is a spurious rule, sort of :)
My concern is that most people still consider our 'American" language as English, where I come from a 'fag' is not a cigarette, the hood of my car is not called a 'bonnet', the American language is a beautiful mixture of many languages, to call it 'English', to me, is an insult.
Not a concern. That's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about people who misspell words they must run into all the time spelled correctly. People never capitalize, who don't "get" how capitalization and punctuation affect meaning, and/or who write without regard to those in paragraphs of 1000 words or more, revealing that they don't know what paragraphs are for, either.
People will say that it's the thoughts that count, not the expression. And yet communication involves the speaker/writer and listener/reader both understanding and using the same code. I challenge those people to show me something that was profound and revelatory written without regard to the rules most of us rely on: grammar, punctuation, and spelling.
I'm sometimes a bit guilty of not breaking a post down into smaller paragraphs. Usually it's because I can't find a logical break when I'm speaking about a general topic (my sentence structure is too dependent on previous sentences). But I know I make my share of spelling/grammar mistakes. I'm trying to replace my latest edition of "Strunk & White's" now (I keep buying them and giving them away).
@archaeopteryx just recently helped me proofread a long blog posting for which I'm eternally grateful. Why? For the very reasons you cite. Improper grammar, etc. is jarring and it can cause the reader to be confused and/or lose the gist of your argument.
@Richard - what I said then, I meant only about formal writing, for public consumption. When speaking here, among friends, anyone can speak to me in any way they like, and that's fine with me - except for that one weird dude, some time back (whose name escapes me), who spoke in word-salad.
Yes, you were taking him to task if I recall. And thanks for clarifying that omission on my part. I just felt it didn't hurt to give you due credit and gratitude.
That's never necessary.
No, probably not within a general frame of reference, but within the framework of my personal ethics I find it essential. :p
I can live with that - you're welcome.
"word-salad". love it!
I think peer review is an ongoing process here.
I concur. When communicating in a written format, it just makes a person look juvenile at best and like an idiot at worst if that person cant' follow the basic rules of English grammar. However, I do make exceptions for those people for whom English is a secondary language. That's completely understandable, but if you grew up in America, you have no excuse.

Recently my wife and I went to the Raue Center for the Arts in Crystal Lake to see "Rushmore Speaks." The show was a presentation by scholar/author/educator Clay Jenkinson as he took on the persona of two giant heads of state from Mount Rushmore: Thomas Jefferson and Theodore Roosevelt.
We sat in the front row of the balcony, which to me are the best seats in the house. I say that because whenever we sit on the main floor, I always wind up behind the world's tallest man or the lady sporting a beehive hairdo supported by a full can of Aqua Net.
So there we were, sitting in anticipation as we gazed down upon a sea of elderly white-haired patrons, each one sitting behind someone taller and more Aqua-Netted than themselves.
"Honey," I observed, "look … it's all old people."
"Then it appears we'll fit in just fine," she countered.
She was right. I suppose a program about dead presidents didn't have much appeal to the youth, who were probably at home watching some reality show about angry women living in New Jersey.
But, why, in such a diverse community as we live in, were there so few of the younger persuasion in attendance? Sure, there's not a lot of action at Mount Rushmore these days. Those four guys just kind of stand there and stare at you. And watching a historian dressed up as Jefferson and Roosevelt talk about the Continental Congress and the bully pulpit may be a bit disconnected from a world of Blackberrys and plasma televisions.
I remember years ago inviting some younger friends to accompany us on another presentation of Mr. Jenkinson. He was assuming the identity of Meriwether Lewis, of Lewis and Clark fame. "Meriwether Lewis?" my friend asked. "What did she do?" Talk about historical disconnect.
But even though we were being entertained by a mountain of carved stone and a man dressed in button-up breeches one moment and a moniker and top hat at another, we somewhat ripened patrons didn't seem to mind. Somehow what we had read in history books took on a humanity that reminded us that famous people were, well, people after all.
For example, a president can have a sense of humor. Once a man claiming to be Jesus demanded an audience with Abraham Lincoln. The president's reply? He had the man informed that if he would bring a note from his father, then he would happily receive him on his second coming. Give Mr. Lincoln fourscore and seven points for that snappy answer.
Washington preferred farming to politics, yet as president he never shook hands with visitors because he felt it beneath the dignity of the presidency. So don't even think of giving him a congratulatory high-five for fathering the country.
As a young man, Roosevelt heard that the buffalo was near extinction. His reaction?
He traveled to the Dakota Territory to kill one before they all disappeared. Yet, he went on to become the greatest presidential conserver of the nation's natural resources. Bully for him.
Jefferson never wanted to be president, and pictured himself living out his post-revolution days as a farmer in France.
He never gave a single campaign speech and mumbled his way through his presidency. So much for his dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence.
Maybe if more of us understood the humanness of these men, that they were more common than uncommon, that they – but for their mention in a book of history – lived and loved and laughed and cried like the rest of us, then perhaps we wouldn't have such a historical disconnect. Maybe the younger set would give these famous dead guys a chance to tell their stories. And, at the very least, maybe they'd learn that even the name "Meriwether" could carry a man across a continent.
So the next time Mount Rushmore speaks, let's hope more of us will listen. After all, we should never take our history for granite.

Traders Are Following Liberty Broadband Corp (LBRDA)'s Technical Levels
Liberty Broadband Corp (LBRDA) currently has a 14-day Commodity Channel Index (CCI) of 85.38. Dedicated investors may choose to use this technical indicator as a stock evaluation tool. Used as a coincident indicator, the CCI reading above +100 would reflect strong price action which may signal an uptrend.
On the flip side, a reading below -100 may signal a downtrend reflecting weak price action. Using the CCI as a leading indicator, technical analysts may use a +100 reading as an overbought signal and a -100 reading as an oversold indicator, suggesting a trend reversal.
We can also do some further technical analysis on the stock. At the time of writing, the 14-day ADX for Liberty Broadband Corp (LBRDA) is 33.33. Many technical chart analysts believe that an ADX value over 25 would suggest a strong trend. A reading under 20 would indicate no trend, and a reading from 20-25 would suggest that there is no clear trend signal. The ADX is typically plotted along with two other directional movement indicator lines, the Plus Directional Indicator (+DI) and Minus Directional Indicator (-DI). Some analysts believe that the ADX is one of the best trend strength indicators available.
Interested investors may be watching the Williams Percent Range or Williams %R. Williams %R is a popular technical indicator created by Larry Williams to help identify overbought and oversold situations. Investors will commonly use Williams %R in conjunction with other trend indicators to help spot possible stock turning points. Liberty Broadband Corp (LBRDA)'s Williams Percent Range or 14 day Williams %R currently sits at -14.67. In general, if the indicator goes above -20, the stock may be considered overbought. Alternately, if the indicator goes below -80, this may point to the stock being oversold. Tracking other technical indicators, the 14-day RSI is presently standing at 78.89, the 7-day sits at 83.12, and the 3-day is resting at 68.75 for Liberty Broadband Corp (LBRDA).
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is an often employed momentum oscillator that is used to measure the speed and change of stock price movements. When charted, the RSI can serve as a visual means to monitor historical and current strength or weakness in a certain market. This measurement is based on closing prices over a specific period of time. As a momentum oscillator, the RSI operates in a set range. This range falls on a scale between 0 and 100. If the RSI is closer to 100, this may indicate a period of stronger momentum. On the flip side, an RSI near 0 may signal weaker momentum. The RSI was originally created by J. Welles Wilder which was introduced in his 1978 book "New Concepts in Technical Trading Systems".
For further review, we can take a look at another popular technical indicator. In terms of moving averages, the 200-day is currently at 80.92, the 50-day is 88.36, and the 7-day is resting at 97.35. Moving averages are a popular trading tool among investors. Moving averages can be used to help filter out the day to day noise created by other factors. MA's may be used to identify uptrends or downtrends, and they can be a prominent indicator for detecting a shift in momentum for a particular stock. Many traders will use moving averages for different periods of time in conjunction with other indicators to help gauge future stock price action.
Some investors may succeed spectacularly in the market while others fail. There is an emotional component to trading and investing which can pose a big obstacle to trading success. Investors frequently try to optimize every decision for success, but sometimes things just don't work out as planned. Consistently beating the market may involve heavy amounts of homework, and a necessary rebalancing of the portfolio. In fast paced markets, indecision can have a drastic impact. Investors may have all the bases covered but fail to make a trade based only on the fear of being wrong. Individual investors may need to conquer self-doubt in order to reach optimal performance when picking stocks. This may not come as easily for some as it does for others.
When the market is winning, investors may become too complacent given the ease of gains.
Staying on top of the investing scene even when everything is good may help to prepare if conditions change and the climate starts to worsen.

All the news that's fit to assimilate[ Home | Blogs | Events | Robots | Humans | Projects | Podcasts | About | Account ]
The hip joints of today's popular bipedal robots have many
limitations. More articulation in this area would allow much
greater range of motions.
After playing around a bit, I have come up with a design
which I intend to use in my RoboDo project. Here's a rough
The "stride" servos (the topmost ones) are connected to
their respective legs with either chain or gears, which
allows us to reduce the 180 degree servo motion to 120
degrees. This will produce a modest gain in power while
limiting the travel in this joint to 75 degrees forward and
45 degrees backwards.
The main benefit however, is that this allows us to have the
leg joint supported by a solid shaft and 2 bearings.
The leg rotate servos are also supported by 2 bearings. I
just don't like the idea of hanging the whole leg off of a
single, cantilevered support point.
At first glance, the "leg lift" servos (the lowest ones
pictured) may seem redundant, but these servos will allow
RoboDo to kick higher when the legs are rotated to their
normal walking position, and allow freedom of motion in this
area when the legs are rotated to other positions.

Accessories that you should place in the habitat include rocks, logs, cork bark, commercial reptile shelters, and other items for hiding spots, nontoxic plants, and moss. Moss is not necessary, but it will help to keep the humidity level high. Just be sure to leave some of the substrate uncovered so your scorpions can create burrows in it.
Because they are nocturnal, Emperor Scorpions should be fed at night. Feed them every other day, and start out by giving each one or two crickets at a time. If you house multiple scorpions in the same enclosure, be sure to put plenty of food in at once so they don't fight over it. All food should be dusted with a calcium and vitamin supplement.
Though an Emperor Scorpion's venom is not toxic to humans, we do not recommend handling them. Their venom is contained within the telson (stinger). Excessive handling is not only stressful for the scorpions, but it can be dangerous for you if you are allergic to their venom. An allergic reaction can cause difficulty breathing, excessive swelling, or prolonged pain, in any case you should seek medical attention.
The scorpion's claws can also be dangerous as they are very strong and can draw blood when pinched. If you have to move the scorpion, wear gloves or use forceps.
