Discussion in 'Hog Hunting' started by kc, May 12, 2011.
It came to my mind a few days ago, how would a Pit Bull be for a Hog Dog?
Generally piss poor.....
Good to have one in a pack as a 'catch' dog.
A single pit wouldn't be able to find his own hind end, me thinks.
My only experience is with Catahoulas. And it wasn't all that much fun. Way too close and personal for this old man.
The guys around here use just about everything. One thing they do say though is not to get attached to the dogs because they don't last long even with vests.
I be thinking a pit would latch on and not let go, even when they're getting stomped into the ground and their guts are getting tore out by those tusks.
At least some other dogs have the sense to back out and get back in again when the opportunity arises and things are more in their favor.
Just my opinion, but most pits I've been around are extremely (almost stupidly) stubborn.............or courageous, however you wanna look at it.
That's all they use around here. Curs to bay and Pits to catch.....
Down here every one uses curs and catahouls as bay dogs anywhere from 2 to 10 generally the more the better as long as they work well together. When they have a hog bayed the pits will be released, usually 2 or more and once they catch ear they won't let go even after hog is dead. Their mouths have have to be pryed off with pvc or if your not keeping the hog you can just cut off the ear. And yes they go through a lot of catch dogs that get injured and killed.
Years ago, I watched videos of hog hunting and the guys did use pits to catch. The regulars, had special made vests for their pits, that were worn by the dogs to keep the hogs tusks from penetrating into their chests. The pits could stay on a hog longer and the vests also reduced the dog deaths. A full blooded pit can be controlled much like a dog of any other breed. It is the inbreds and mixed that can't be controlled as well.
The L3 Outdoors , one of the trapper group for Hogs Gone Wild, uses all kinds of breeds and seems to be very effective.
Riddick - is a four year old registered Boarhound.
Wolfgang - is a Irish Wolfhound Scottish Deerhound cross.
Roo - is a Staghound cross.
Harly - is a 10 month old registered Boarhound.
Ammo - is a BullMastiff/Black Mouth Cur cross.
Cutty Sark - is a three year old female Wolfhound/Deerhound.
MacGregor - is a 11 month old Wolfhound/Deerhound.
Glenfiddich - is a 10 month old Wolfhound/Deerhound.
BTW, looks like they name most of them after Scotch.
Back when we were lousy with hogs, I use Boarder Collies and McNabs, quick short range dogs to track and bay. Never used a Pit Bull and would never.
Got rid of over 500 hunderd hogs since the mid 1974's with bay dogs, never more than three on a hunt. Usually just one. My two cents worth.
Here's a few extra breeds to google that are similar to the catahoula:
Black mouth cur
Texas blue lacy
Both these breeds tend to be smaller and quicker. Generally used for tracking and baying pigs. They have great-to-good noses, are very fast and nimble, and they can easily move through the thick stuff where pigs like to hide.
youtube.com also has some great videos of these dogs baying pigs in the pen for training and competition.
Find a local guide and see if he has a litter. They have tried and true dogs. The trick is training 'em, armoring 'em up, and then stitching 'em up later!
Full blooded, inbred, or mixed, if a dog isnt trained properly they wont obey. Proper training is what makes a dog listen and do what you ask.

Caching dynamic contents can heavily increase your overall website speed. Varnish is a HTTP accelerator designed for content-heavy dynamic web sites. It was designed from the ground up as a HTTP accelerator and is focused exclusively on HTTP. Varnish is distributed through the FreeBSD ports system and we recommend you use the packages provided through there. Make sure your ports tree is up to date.
su) or simply prepend
sudo to all commands that require root privileges.
Install Varnish Cache
I have choosen the default installation options without IPV6.
cd /usr/ports/www/varnish make install clean; rehash
Configure Varnish Cache
You can use the default configuration. For any other configuration please read the documentation here.
vi /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl
For example to let Varnish Cache know about your backend add the backend block to the top of the file. This example will redirect unchached requests to the IP 126.96.36.199 on port 81. This implies that you have a running web server (Nginx, Apache etc.) under this location.
backend default { .host = "188.8.131.52"; .port = "81"; }
Add Varnish Cache to your rc.conf
This configuration will start the Varnish Cache on system start, binding it to port 80 and keeps 4 GB of cached data in memory. A good choice is to use no more than 80% of your total memory. The admin port listens on port 6082.
vi /etc/rc.conf varnishd_enable="YES" varnishd_listen=":80" varnishd_config="/usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl" varnishd_storage="malloc,4G" varnishd_admin=":6082"
Test your configuration
After the default.vcl may have been changed you need to check it with the following command. The output will help you to find possible syntax failures.
varnishd -C -f /usr/local/etc/varnish/default.vcl
Start Varnish Cache
Now you can start the Varnish Cache.
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/varnishd start

This Is How Exporta Global Will Look Like In 10 Years Time
SSI SCHAEFER's polypropylene containers are ideal for storage, picking, and transport. In the automotive industry to grocery and clothes, these containers give a more secure base. Eventually we turned the entire euro container upside down and stuck Allan on it. Allan is our fairly chunky Warehouse Manager. Additionally, when you're shifting pallets value of these, due to their cross stacking ability these Euro Containers add rigidity to the pile.
They come with a groove in the bottom that fits perfectly into the very top of the one below it, meaning the solidity of the pile is really improved by cross stacking these boxes. Shipping and receiving regions of any retailer or industrial setting could be an perfect location for using these containers. Similarly task-focussed are our Euro-standard Confectionery Trays and ventilated Bale Arm Containers , both of which are utilized for the storage and supply of particular food products.
Well , an Electro Static Discharge Euro Container – to give it its proper name – is a plastic box made to euro specifications for automation functions that are ideal for distributing and storing electrical components euro containers. Contact the Exporta team now for more information about our industrial storage boxes Our fast, reliable service makes us the best euro containers UK provider.
Walmart in the united states and Tesco in the UK are allegedly seeking to move to Euro Containers in order to keep their food produce fresher. Euro piling containers are plastic modular inter-stacking containers using vertical sides for maximum inner volume. The stackable Euro Box , for example, is offered in 3 sizes/capacities and, without any sharp edges, promotes safe handling and minimises handling risks.
A large number of businesses could find these containers very useful for both storage and transportation. Aimed mostly at the electronics industries, these ESD euro containers are constructed to the exact same exacting footprint of our industry leading lattice bottomed euro containers (that the most powerful euro containers in the marketplace).
These containers comprise vertical sides for maximum storage, which anybody who uses them will love. The Ventilated Euro Stacking Containers are likewise impervious to moisture and also gain from a ventilated structure. A Euro container that is 600x400x290mm in dimensions and is out of our category top euro container range.
We are now able to offer ESD euro containers, either with or without lids for customers who require ESD protection against their plastic boxes. The Euro Box Kits are available in 3 widths ( 915 , 1220 and 1525 mm) along with a variety of Euro Box combinations. By adding vented containers into the range we'll be catering for precisely this kind of problem, highlighted above, and will add numerous products to our food range.

Located in the exclusive Seongbukdong district of Seoul, this enclave of 12 sustainable houses is designed to take advantage of its steeply sloping site by updating the ancient principle of the "borrowed view." The staggered arrangement of L-shaped dwellings insures that each unit enjoys unobstructed open southern views of a wooded valley, framed in the foreground by its neighbors planted green roof. In addition, each house possesses apertures that frame views of their neighbor's rear and side yards, visually expanding the property of each unit without compromising privacy.
Planted with a multi-colored pattern, the roof of each house merges to form a dramatic composition that changes colors with the seasons, visible from the public park across the valley. Each of the four unit types is organized around two terraces that spatially and visually link inside and outside. On the main floor, cutouts in the floating terrazzo floor channel greenery from the lower terrace to a dramatic top-lit interior stairwell that connects the living and dining areas with a second terrace shared by the bedrooms above.

Monthly Reflections
I Wait For the Lord, My Soul Waits...(Psalm 130:5) - Fr. Augustine Vallooran V.C.
Let us meditate on Psalm 130: 5-8, "I wait for the Lord my soul waits and in His words I hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchman for the morning. O Israel hope in the Lord for with the Lord there is steadfast love and with Him is plenteous redemption and he will redeem Israel from all His iniquities. O God it is for you that my soul is waiting with a lot of desires in my heart and great craving in my soul. I am waiting for you my Lord. Speak to me; let your word flow into my heart to fill me. Let your spirit anoint me to listen to your word and to accept you as the fulfillment for all the cravings of my heart". Amen
Jesus – The Fulfillment of God's Promises
The Gospel presents to us Jesus as the fulfillment of all the promises of God in the Old Testament. St. Paul tells us Jesus is the "YES'" to everything that God had said to the people of Israel. There is one moment in the Gospel of John Chapter 7:37-38 where this proclamation becomes very intense and dramatic, "On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and proclaimed, 'if anyone thirst, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me as the scripture has said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. This was a very dramatic moment during the Festival of the Tabernacle in Jerusalem. This was a festival during which the people of Israel built little booths outside their permanent dwelling house and The Book of Leviticus Chapter 23 tells us how these booths are to be built. They took branches of willow trees and leaves from the palm trees and they built booths and the city of Jerusalem will be filled with many such booths all over the place during the festival which lasted for eight days. On the first day, a Priest in white robe would come out of the temple with a golden pitcher and other Priests would follow him with golden pitchers very solemnly. They would come out of the temple and go to the city, to the pool of Silom. They would go down to the pool and fill the pitchers with water and by the time thousands of people would be gathered in the temple area. The procession would walk solemnly through the water gate of the temple and enter the temple. All the people will be shouting out, praising and thanking God! Very solemnly, the High Priest would pour the water in the golden pitcher on the great altar and people would see the waters splashing all over on the altar. They would raise their hands and praise God - that was the moment they remembered how God intervened in the lives of the Jews and took them out of the land of slavery!
It was also the moment when the people praised God for the moments God protected them in the desert. In the desert, they were wandering without a roof over their head. It is God who gave them a permanent dwelling place in Israel and they remembered thankfully all those days when they were living in the booths. They had no mats in the deserts! They also remembered how God gave them 2 million people. How God gave them water miraculously to drink and to quench their thirst. They remembered how God was with them, providing for everything that they needed during their pilgrimage through the desert and the festival continued. The procession of the Priests took place on all the eight days of the Festival. But there was a difference on the last day - the procession would be more solemn and the Priest would come with the golden pitcher and would circle around the altar seven times for everyone to see. The Priest would turn the pitcher and no water came out. The Pitcher was empty! Instead of a spine-tinkling roar that took place on the other days, on the last day, there would be a hush falling upon the people and they would bend their heads and pray, " O God, let the clouds reign down the Messiah". This ceremony proved to the people the incompleteness of the fulfillment of the promises of God. The fathers who drank the miraculous water in the desert were dead and the people were still waiting for the Messiah. The Messiah had not come and the people were very painfully aware of the incompleteness of the fulfillment of the promises of God – that moment of solemn silence of God.
"Let Anyone Who is Thirsty Come to Me!" (John 7:37)
It was at that moment of solemn silence that Jesus stood up and cried out, "If any one is thirsty let him come to me and drink". A very incredible moment, a very dramatic moment! The whole crowd was waiting and whispering a prayer for the coming of the Messiah. At that moment, Jesus proclaims Himself, as the Messiah, as the one who gives the living water to quench the thirst of the people and the people accepted Jesus as the Messiah! There are two words that are very important here; St. John tells us that Jesus stood up and cried out. The two words are important to emphasize the intensity of the proclamation. The Jewish Rabbis did not stand up and teach; they always sat and taught. When someone proclaimed something standing up, it was always a message from the King, from the Caesar, from the Governor. It is only the imperial proclamation that was given standing up. St. John tells us Jesus stood up and proclaimed and cried out. It was a great message from God! The word "cried out" is mentioned only three times in the Gospels and that also only in the Gospel of John. In John Chapter 1, John the Baptist crying out in the desert; John Chapter 11, Jesus crying out 'Lazarus come out' and here Jesus is crying, a great shout, a big proclamation that he was the Messiah. What did He cry out? He cried out "Come to Me every one of you. Anyone of you who is thirsty, let him come to me." Every one of you who is thirsty come to me, an invitation not only to the Jews, not only to the people who listen to Him but for everyone; an invitation for everyone to come to Him and to drink from Him.
Physical thirst is a terrible experience. When there is a lack of water in the cells of the body, every cell waits for water. Jesus compares that physical thirst to the craving of the soul, to the longing of the soul. Whatever you want, whatever you are longing for, I will give it all to you - a great promise! The people of God were longing for the Messiah for salvation, for peace, for joy, for love and here is the invitation and intense proclamation "Come to Me and drink of Me." This became a great experience for the Christians of the early century.
The Full Cup Of Life
When St. John wrote the First Letter of John 1:1-4, at the end of the first century, he is bearing witness to a fulfillment of his heart. His heart was full. John said, "That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon and touched with our hands concerning the Word of life. The life was made manifest and we saw it and testified to it and proclaimed to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us, that which we have seen and heard, we proclaim also to you, so that you may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ and we are writing this that our joy may be complete." A word of life coming out of a heart that was filled. We have seen, we have heard, we have touched, we have had fellowship with Him and our hearts are filled - an experience of being filled with life in Jesus Christ. This was the proclamation that went down from John to the second century martyrs and history tells us that the martyrs dying testimony was "The cup is still full" they said it to everyone, "My cup is still full". In the third century, St. Augustine of Hippo, tells us, "Strange," he writes, "the more we drink of it the more there is in it, the cup is full".
Jesus – Our Living Water!
This is a testimony that should go from the heart of everyone. Coming to Jesus, be filled with His Love and that love filling our hearts. There is nothing that Jesus cannot give me. Whatever desires I have in my heart, whatever longing, whatever craving my soul has, I have Jesus! He is the fulfillment of all the promises of God. When I accept Him as the Messiah, as my Saviour, as my Lord, I trust in Him. I put my whole trust in Him because I know He will fill my heart. My heart will not be waiting for more. Today we want this testimony to go out of our hearts to everyone, as Jesus said, "Out of the heart of those who believe in Me, streams of living water will flow; this water of life."(John 7:38)
As we come to Jesus, this is the experience that fills our hearts. At the end of every retreat here in Divine Retreat Centre, we hear this testimony. People telling us, "Father we came here longing; we came here craving; we came here anxious; we came here sad; we came here sick; we came here not knowing where to go and what to do. Today, I have found the rock of my life in Jesus Christ! Today, I experience the fullness of life. To that fullness Jesus is inviting every one of us.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) - Pennsylvania's governor and elections officials want the state's highest court to stand by its ruling establishing new congressional districts.
Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and two Department of State officials responded Monday to a request by Republican legislative leaders to put on hold the week-old district map.
The Wolf administration argues House Speaker Mike Turzai and Senate President Joe Scarnati's request offers nothing new and should be turned down.
Turzai and Scarnati have a similar request pending with the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Wolf administration says it's moving ahead with the new map for the May 15 primary.
The court filing says putting the new map on hold "would confuse, complicate and undermine those preparations."
Republicans have held a 13-5 majority in the state's congressional delegation since passing a 2011 map.

You can manage this and all other alerts in My Account The alert will be sent to: Confirm × Sign In or Create a free account to receive alerts. × What is research? In a small classroom in early January 2004 five students discussed the answer to this question, shared areas of interest, and learned about ASHA journals. It was the beginning of the School of Hearing, Speech, and Language Sciences (SHSLS) Undergraduate Research Club (URC) at Ohio University. The club was inspired by two factors. First, the doctoral shortage in communication sciences and disorders will require that students become interested and excited about research early in their career. Second, many undergraduate students want to learn more about and become more involved in research, but are not aware of how to pursue these interests. To meet these needs, I developed the URC as an informal club in which students could explore their research interests in a stress-free and enjoyable manner. The mission of the club was to increase undergraduate students' interest and appreciation in research. I anticipated one small group of students per quarter would be interested in the club, yet the club would grow to over 40 students in several different sections, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced sections. Doctoral students Yen-Ling Chan, Michelle O'Malley, and Lollie Vaughan have run beginner sections. I run the intermediate and advanced sections, but will soon have doctoral students take over the intermediate groups. A second-year master's student, Krystal Spires, has facilitated beginner sections and played a key role in establishing the club. Each section meets for an hour each week during each academic quarter. Activities in the beginner sections include a presentation/discussion of several possible areas of interest in speech-language pathology and audiology, discussion of faculty research areas, introduction to ASHA journals, informational retrieval strategies, how to read a research article in an area of interest, introduction to research equipment/software, and how to get involved in research as an undergraduate. The last few weeks of each academic quarter are spent visiting faculty research labs. The faculty researcher provides a short presentation on his or her area of research, describes and presents information on lab equipment, and discusses current research projects. Students are encouraged to ask questions about running a research lab. Students in the intermediate sections delve more into their area of interest and are guided through the research process. By the end of a quarter each student has designed a research experiment that may be pursued in the future as a senior or master's thesis. Students in the advanced sections of the club know how to find and evaluate research articles and possess an understanding and appreciation of the research process. As such, they are ready to be exposed to a variety of research areas, methodologies, subject populations, and theories/models that contribute to evidence-based practice in speech-language pathology and audiology. This is accomplished by reading an article every week written by a faculty member in the SHSLS and then having the opportunity to discuss that article with the author. Preparing Tomorrow's Researchers Every undergraduate student who joins and participates on a weekly basis in the URC is considered a success of the club. Some students, however, have been inspired to go beyond club expectations. For example, Jackie Strauss is conducting a senior thesis on the topic of the effects of sentence length versus sentence complexity on comprehension in school-age children. Jackie received a Provost Undergraduate Research Fund award for her work in this area. According to Jackie, "I have become so excited and enthusiastic about research that I am considering a future career as a researcher." Lindsay James, who is also conducting a senior thesis, says that "participating in URC has given me an opportunity unlike any offered in the classroom. For the first time in college, I have had the chance to freely choose my topic of interest, research it, and ask questions." Senior Ashley Freehauf states, "The club has given me the tools to get current information about speech-language pathology and to better understand the direction in which the field is going." Support for the Club College of Health and Human Services Dean Gary Neiman enthusiastically supports the Club. According to Neiman, "The initiative to interest undergraduates in research careers is critical to sustaining the pipeline of scholars not only in communication sciences and disorders, but in a host of health-related disciplines. We applaud these efforts and hope that other academic programs will consider similar activities." Brooke Hallowell, director of the SHSLS and associate dean for Research and Sponsored Programs in the College of Health and Human Services, said that "providing such exploratory opportunities for undergraduates in a supportive and collegial environment helps to inspire consideration of further research involvement for students who may otherwise not have considered getting involved in research." While the URC has been successful and student evaluations have been very positive, the club is still in its infancy. Plans include expanding to more sections, encouraging more freshmen and sophomores to join, linking the club to the Introduction to Research course, electing student officers, and searching for funding. Additional plans also include developing effective communications by having a newsletter, a forum for publishing members' club experiences and accomplishments, and links to other undergraduate research clubs/programs at other universities. With the current doctoral shortage in communication sciences and disorders, the scholars of today must continue to devise effective methods to develop new investigators who will be leaders of research in our fields tomorrow. 0 Comments Submit a Comment Submit A Comment Name Comment Title Comment Could not validate captcha.

Milan Panic
WHEN I served as Yugoslavia's prime minister 24 years ago, at a time when my homeland was fracturing into separate republics, I often found myself surrounded by nationalistic politicians who cynically trafficked in fear and hate. Now, whenever I hear Trump stoking fear and attacking minorities and foreigners, I feel a sick and familiar sensation in the pit of my stomach. To fuel his political ambitions, Trump is exploiting the same malevolent forces once made Yugoslavia an ethnically divided war zone and are on rise again across Europe.
What is wrong with America that it needs to be "made great again"? Well, according to Mr. Trump, Mexican "criminals" and "rapists" — "the worst elements in Mexico" — are "pouring across the border," stealing jobs and bringing drugs and disease. Because "Islam hates us," Trump has promised a "total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering US." He has suggested that those already here — which includes members of my family — would be subjected to increased surveillance, warrantless searches and even a special ID.
Even after becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump has continued to stoke fear and attack minorities and foreigners. He has repeatedly tried to diminish an American judge by dint of his "Mexican heritage." After the mass shooting in Orlando, he not only doubled down yet again on fear-mongering, he also implied that President Obama was in league with terrorists. On Sunday, he said on CBS that "profiling is something that we're going to have to start thinking about as a country.''
Sadly, I have seen all this before. In Yugoslavia, the Big Bully was Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic, who never missed a chance to turn people against their neighbours. In the speech that made him a political force, Milosevic promised Serbs angry about the Albanian majority in Kosovo that "no one will ever dare beat you again." He sounded this same note throughout his political career, always warning of enemies at the gates and "NATO lackeys and traitors" undermining the motherland.
I worked hard to unseat Milosevic in 1992, first by encouraging him to resign, later by running against him for president. I wanted to bring peace and prosperity to the Balkans, not wallow in ethnic enmities. I was pleased when the weekly magazine NIN, once firmly in the dictator's corner, featured the headline "Milosevic — ' Fear;' Panic — 'Hope.' " Alas, Milosevic's allies still controlled much of the news media and, in the end, they counted the votes. Fear won out, dooming my homeland to another decade of oppression and devastation.
We Americans should not make the same mistake in 2016. A candidate who purposefully incites fear and hatred as often as Trump has demands the highest level of scrutiny. But our national news media have too often enabled Trump's rise, and exacerbated his worst impulses, through unceasing yet uncritical coverage. Instead of a watchdog, they have served as a bullhorn.
My earliest memories are of the horrors that hate can unleash. As a boy, I fought to liberate Yugoslavia from Hitler's fascist armies. As a young man, I came to the United States as a refugee because I have always believed that this nation is exceptional, a beacon of hope to the world where anyone can work hard and achieve the American Dream.
America has always been great because it is a country founded in hope. We must not succumb to the fear, anger and despair that scarred so much of Europe. We must not fulfil the political ambitions of Donald J Trump. The writer, a California businessman and the former prime minister of Yugoslavia, is recently the author of Prime Minister for Peace: My Struggle for Serbian Democracy.

Porsche Developing a Flat-Eight Supercar to Rival the 458
Is the Porsche 918 too far out of your price range? The Porsche 911 just too plebian? Well, you're in luck. According to recent reports, Porsche is hard at work building a supercar to battle the Ferrari 458 and it boasts – gasp – a flat-eight engine. The report comes from the UK's Autocar, and hints at Porsche's latest project, dubbed internally as the '988', which ditches the company's calling-card flat-six engines in favor of what is expected to be a mid-mounted 4.0-liter eight-cylinder.
According to previous conversations between Autocar and leading Porsche engineers, the company cannot compete in the supercar segment against V8 Ferraris with traditional Porsche flat-sixes eked to the technical limits, a point some would say was proven after a number of 3.8-liter 911 GT3 engines failed earlier this year.
The more astute among you will note that four liters of displacement still falls short of the 458 Italia's 4.5-liter V8, tuned to 562-horsepower. But that's no worry, because according to the report, Porsche's prototype engine has been testing with four turbochargers to produce a staggering 600-horsepower.
RELATED: See more photos of the 2014 Porsche 918 hypercar
So far, nothing is known regarding the actual shape of the 988, although it will undoubtedly feature design cues from its older brother, the 918 hypercar (pictured in concept form above), along with a layout similar to the mid-engine Porsche Cayman and Boxster. Expect there to be some extra junk in the trunk, considering the 988 will pack two more cylinders than the Boxster.
Porsche's 458-rivaling supercar is expected to go on sale in 2017, and will usher in a wave of new models, such as a turbocharged four-cylinder Boxster and Cayman, as well as a new architecture pegged to underpin all mid- and rear-engine models.

I will apologize again for the half-eaten plate of food. I know it's probably not best practice in terms of food photography. Sometimes I get halfway through eating something and realize I want a record of it.
This recipe came from a craving for cheesy polenta and heads of cauliflower and broccoli in the fridge. Last year, I developed a newfound love of roasting veggies–such a great way to bring out all kinds of flavors. These items worked well really well together.
You'll want to get the veggies roasting first:
1 small head broccoli, cut into bite sized pieces (I like mostly florets and a few thinly sliced stem pieces)
1-2 cups cauliflower florets
2 garlic scapes, sliced length-wise and cut in 3-4 inch pieces
1 15 oz. can chickpeas
3-4 T. olive oil
kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
fresh lemon juice (1/2 of a large lemon)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Now, prepare the pans. I used a small cookie sheet and a pizza pan. For really easy cleanup, wrap the pans in foil.
Now, mix all the ingredients (except the lemon juice) together in a large bowl, making sure the veggies are well-coated.
Distribute the veggies evenly over the two pans, making sure you are as close to 1 layer as possible. Pop them in the oven and roast for about 30-35 minutes. Pull them out one time in the middle to stir them around and rotate the pans. You'll know they are finished when you have several crispy brown areas and everything is pretty soft. Drizzle the lemon juice over the top and serve over the polenta.
While your veggies are roasting, prepare the polenta.
I use Bob's Red Mill coarse polenta.
Bring 2 cups of water to boil in a large saucepan. When the water is boiling, add a tablespoon or so of salt. Whisk in 1 cup of polenta and turn down the heat. Cook, stirring frequently until the polenta is soft and the water is absorbed (about 10-15 minutes). I was lucky enough to have a parmesan rind in the fridge. If you are too, throw that in for the entire cooking time.
When your polenta is a little drier than desired consistency, add in 2 T. butter, a few T whole milk, salt, pepper, and 1/2 c. parmesan cheese if you didn't have the rind (and maybe even if you did). Taste for creaminess and seasoning and alter as desired.
Serve this meal in a bowl with the veggies spooned over the polenta. Enjoy!

Extreme Weight Loss is ABC's answer to NBC's The Biggest Loser. In the premiere episode of Season 3, hosts transformational expert Chris Powell and his wife, Heidi, along with twin participants David and Rebecca, invite you to tweet to them live throughout the show from 8:00-10: p.m., ET.
As twins David and Rebecca were growing up in North Prairie, Wisconsin, they didn't think that much about their weight, or that it might be getting excessive. Rather, David, who weighs in at 470 pounds and Rebecca, who weighs 398 pounds, spent their childhood making people laugh, not caring if sometimes the laughs came at their own expense. However, behind their smiles, the twins experienced a difficult upbringing,, and behind the smiles, they tried to hold back tears of pain. They used an overindulgence in food as an emotional outlet.
In the Season 3 premiere, Chris Powell decides to help the twins and tells them the good news on their 23rd. birthday. It's not long before he realizes that the twins are co-dependent, and have been enabling each other in their poor nutritional and eating decisions for years.
Break out your boxes of Kleenex and get prepared for a tear-jerking episode, as the twins say good-bye to each other and are split up to participate in a 90-day challenge. Rebecca is sent to Arizona to work alongside Chris's wife, Heidi, while David….
David mentions at the beginning of his weight-loss journey that he had always wanted to prove himself to his dad. He wanted to go through Navy SEAL training to show his dad that "he was a man."
While Chris doesn't go as far as to have David attempt actual Navy SEAL training, he does take the twins on his toughest milestone challenge ever. They head to a rigorous "Kokoro" training camp that's designed to forge mental toughness. It's modeled after the infamous Navy SEAL "Hell Week."
After the twins suffer a setback, though, and their old habits begin to resurface again, Chris is concerned that they might not meet their weight loss goals.
Even if you are a person who has never had to personally deal with being overweight, or have had a weight loss problem, shows like Extreme Weight Loss and The Biggest Loser are fascinating to watch because they display the full range of human emotions to viewers. Participants in the shows lay their souls bare, and we get to see them as they seek to take control over their lives and make transformational changes for the better.
You can find out what happens on the Season 3 Premiere of "Extreme Weight Loss," (formerly known as "Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition,"),on Tuesday, May 28 (8:00-10:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
Also, you can direct questions to Chris @realchrispowell; to Heidi at @realheidipowell, to @DavidEWL3 and @BeccaEWL3. The handle and hashtag for the show is: Twitter @EMWeightLoss, #ExtremeWeightLoss, @ABC_Publicity

Drug Decriminalisation shock response - more heads recommended for self-boiling
Nicholas Green QC, the chairman of the Bar Council for England and Wales, said it was "rational" to consider "decriminalising personal drug use".
Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the Commons' Home Affairs Committee, said: "I am shocked by the suggestion that drugs should be decriminalised for personal use.
"The legalisation of drugs would simply create the mistaken impression that these substances are not harmful, when in fact this is far from the truth."
"The answer to the issue of drug abuse is not to merely decriminalise it. This is not the best solution for the wider public or the police."Shocked, I tell you! Vaz decides the public are (as) stupid (as him?) and decides to support the criminalisation of people on that basis. But never passing up the chance to keep one buttock on each side of the fence, he ends it with an arse-covering soundbite so he can later jump back on the bandwagon.
James Clappison MP, a former member of the Commons' Home Affairs Committee, said the remarks were "not entirely a helpful contribution to the debate".I suspect James Clappison, MP, thinks only words in agreement with the consensus are "helpful to the debate". Clappison forgets the far higher street cost of drugs while they are illegal, which often requires criminal activity to fund. Clappison should have seen that for himself.
He said: "There seems to be a very strong link between recreational drug use, leading to drug addiction leading to crime fuelled by drug addiction. I would have thought the chairman of the Bar Council would have seen that for himself."
Philip Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, added: "It is a ludicrous argument to say let's legalise drugs to take pressure off the police and the courts. That is an argument to legalise everything."FAIL. Philip Davies, MP is expected to legislate and revise laws on our behalf and yet he displays the critical reasoning of a wasp.
Debra Bell, a mother whose son developed severe personality changes after smoking cannabis from the age of 14 with his friends, said: "What is talking about? This will send out the wrong message to youngsters.
"There are children as young as 10 getting involved in drug use. Recreational drugs are addictive – that is why there are controlled"
Ms Bell, who now runs the "Talking About Cannabis" advice website, added: "For some adults it might not be a problem, but that is not the case for children and adolescents. It divides families."So alcohol being legal is "the wrong message to youngsters"? Decriminalising does not mean "please take it". In fact, while it is illegal and highly lucrative, there is a vast army of scumbags out there doing just that - pushing it onto kids. Making it legal DOES mean making it controlled. Right now, drugs are out of control the very reason being they are outlawed.

Telegraph Fights Global IQ with Reason-Negative Whale Faeces
Sperm whales fight global warming with carbon-neutral faecesSouthern Ocean sperm whales have emerged as an unexpected ally in the fight against global warming, removing the equivalent carbon emissions from 40,000 cars each year thanks to their faeces, a study has found.
The cetaceans have been previously fingered as climate culprits because they breathe out carbon dioxide (CO2), the most common greenhouse gas.But this is only a part of the picture, according to the paper, published in the British journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Australian biologists estimated that the estimated 12,000 sperm whales in the Southern Ocean each defecate around 50 tonnes of iron into the sea every year after digesting the fish and squid they hunt.
The iron is then eaten by phytoplankton - marine plants that live near the ocean surface and suck up CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
As a result of the fertilisation, the whales remove 400,000 tonnes of carbon each year, twice as much as the 200,000 tonnes of CO2 that they contribute through respiration.
The whales' faeces are so effective because they are emitted in liquid form and close to the surface, before the mammals dive, said the paper.
Industrialised whaling not only gravely threatened Southern Ocean sperm whales, it also damaged a major carbon "sink," the scientific term for something that removes more greenhouse gases than it produces, it added.Before industrial whaling, the population of this species was about 10 times larger, which meant around two million tonnes of CO2 were removed annually, said the paper.
The scientists suspect that because sperm whales cluster in specific areas of the Southern Ocean there is a clear link between food availability and cetacean faeces.
This could explain the "krill paradox," they believe. Researchers have previously found that when balleen whales are killed, the amount of krill in that sea area declines, which thus affects the entire food chain.
The study is lead-authored by Trish Lavery of the School of Biological Sciences at Flinders University in Adelaide.

And he'll take what he wants, even if it's not free
Yeah, he steals like a thief
So he's always a Marxist to me
Oh--he takes care of himself
He will wait if he wants
He's a throwback in time
Oh--and he never gives out
And he never gives in
He just changes his mind
And he'll promise you more
Than the Garden of Eden
Then he'll carelessly cut you
And laugh while you're bleedin'
But he'll sell off our best
And leave the worst for you and me
Blame it all on yourself
Cause he's always a Marxist to me
Oh--he takes care of himself
He will wait if he wants
He's a throwback in time
Oh--and he never gives out
And he never gives in
He just changes his mind
He is almost half blind
And he's constantly cruel
He can do as he pleases
He's bloody great tool
And he can't be convicted
He's earned immunity
And the best he will do
Is throw shadows at you
So he's always a Marxist to me

On the De Facto Monopoly of State education
Markets create winners and losers, for sure, but it is almost always the customer that is the winner and the poorly performing provider that is the loser. If the poor performer learns their lesson, they can become a winner again.
Education is not there to provide employment for teachers.
I will say that again. Education is not there to provide employment for teachers.
If you have just enough places for pupils, you must rely on proactive intervention to fix a bad school and bad teachers. There is no hard, unavoidable incentive otherwise for bad schools to fix themselves, i.e. teachers standing in front of empty classrooms.
Just think of coming into a town where there are just enough restaurant settings for all the people who wish to eat. How good will those restaurants be? What value would you get? What service?
Some will be natural restauranteurs, dedicated and provide a great service. The queue will be round the block.
The others will still have no HARD need to change, for they will get customers through the door. No, not just customers, they will have a full house! Every night! A full house of customers with no choice remaining, no option but have their money taken in return for what? Slops. If a fight kicks off in the restaurant and you struggle to eat, if at all, then hard cheese.
As long as there is one substandard State school in this de facto monopoly, the State is failing children and guilty of all manner of injustices. One could almost include false imprisonment.
Now, back to a proper world:
A surplus of restaurants and tables will still result in the best places having a queue round the block, but the "unlucky" will still be infinitely more lucky in their second, third or even fourth choices than in the previous scenario, for a bad restaurant will be almost always empty and people will not come back the moment they learn of something better.
Anyone who tries to assert that "education is not like a restaurant" is, I am afraid, howling at the moon and trying to maintain their own delusions by trying to convince others of the same folly they believe in.
Education is not there to employ teachers. Bad teachers should be unemployed teachers. With surplus spaces, bad teachers will be confronted with the choice of "improve or die". I am quite certain the overwhelming number will improve and most will rapidly become good teachers. Those who cannot improve? What are those who object to surplus places now saying? That you WANT to keep those unreformable teachers in front of my kids? To hell with you!
The conceit is of those who think they can reform a monopoly. No they cannot. They think they are or could be so in control, or know of someone else so in control and so talented, more talented than the combined energies of all the minds of all the parents? Show me these Übermensch! Bring them forth!

Prepare for Fiscalnacht
Many of us have been banging on about the need for 20-25% cuts in spending to balance the books, and this is Libertarian Party policy. The recent quibbling about the £6bln NI tax has taken the biscuit. The so-called "leadership debate" just showed me that they are not leaders. If they were true leaders, they would be able to deliver bad news and they failed us and the nation.
The big three have been fiddling while our money burns. And why? Probably because no government does well in an election promising austerity. Ah, yes, getting into power is more important than being straight with the population.
This, however, is not about austerity, it is about SURVIVAL.
To survive we need those 20-25% cuts on average. We need to eliminate £170bln of spending even to have a chance of treading water.
Our debt is reaching £900bln in comparison to £600bln (if we are LUCKY) in revenue and £750bln or so in spending.
Interest on those debts is or will be around 4.5% for sections of that debt.
Growth? 0.2% so far.
Can anyone else see the other problem here?
Our debt interest will be higher than the rate in which revenues will grow. Growth will fail to cover the costs of servicing our debt even if we achieve zero deficit.
So we need to more than balance the budget, we need to shrink the DEBT and to do that we need to cut spending well below revenues to both service the debt and reduce it. After we cut £170bln out of spending to end the deficit we need to cut still further to attack the debt.
It is wishful thinking to presume that growth will grow fast enough to enable even a balanced budget to keep pace with the debt servicing costs on £900bln for some considerable time. To trust to that kind of luck with the Eurozone ills, international situations and the potential for all manner of external factors is a gamble too far, or should I say yet another gamble too far, for Gordon has already gambled too far and lost - where we are now is the result.
Unless Cameron comes clean before May 6th he cannot say he has the mandate to face down the vast vested interests that will line up to prevent their gilt edged rice bowls being taken away from them. People may say he betrayed them. He needs as many people behind him as possible, or at least not attacking him and siding with those in the public sector who will want to remain in never-never land.
And no, the excuse of "not being able to see the books" does not count. We know this already. he knows this already - or damn well should do. It is no surprise.

New dissertation! Human Translation versus Machine Translation and Full Post-Editing"It is critical to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of human translation versus human-assisted machine translation. Although several approaches to optimise the efficiency and output quality of a machine translation system exist, this study is focused on the back-end of the machine translation process. Accordingly, various comparative tests are presented, with the aim of offering statistics on human translation speed as a benchmark for carrying out machine translation post-editing measurements.
Although the area tested, "marketing brochures", seems inappropriate for machine translation systems, the challenge is to prove the potential of this technology for materials other than highly repetitive technical and/or scientific manuals" - this is a short abstract of master dissertation presented by Lorena Guerra Martinez at Dublin City University, School of Applied Languages, August 2003.

Unless you live under a rock, you've either seen, heard of or read about Netflix's show "House of Cards."
In just the first weekend of its Valentine's Day release, 2 percent of all Netflix subscribers watched all 13 episodes of the newest season.
It will come as no surprise that the show is not just beloved by the general public, but by the nation's top politicians and journalists, as well. Even President Obama asked for "no spoilers" when the second season was released on Valentine's Day.
Tomorrow: @HouseOfCards. No spoilers, please.
— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) February 13, 2014
CNN hosts Brooke Baldwin and Jake Tapper also admitted to being huge fans of the show, and Baldwin announced on live television that Tapper does a great Frank Underwood impression, the main character who is played by actor Kevin Spacey. In the show, Underwood frequently turns away to break the "fourth wall" to address the audience.
After a few faux protests, Tapper instantly turned his head to an alternate camera and delivered a brief stoic, drawling monologue, before snapping back to the center camera.
And then it was Baldwin's turn.
Tapper wins this round.

Text-to-911 service spreading through rural Nebraska
- Be the first to comment!

By GRANT SCHULTE
Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - New technology that lets cellphone users send texts to their local 911 call center is spreading through Nebraska, including rural areas where supporters say it could help save lives.
The service is already in place around Omaha and Kearney, but smaller counties are now asking the state for money to add the service at their facilities.
Douglas, Buffalo and Washington counties have all implemented text-to-911 services this year, and at least six others - Keith, Dodge, Antelope, Dawes, Sarpy and Sheridan - filed funding requests to install it in their jurisdictions, according to the Nebraska Public Service Commission.
The service is intended to help people who can't call authorities directly, such as domestic violence victims who don't want their assailants to overhear them, or those who are hiding from a home invader.
It also could serve tornado victims when local phone systems become overwhelmed or people in rural areas with poor coverage, said Jeff Pursley, executive director of the Nebraska Public Service Commission. Unlike calls that won't connect, phones will continuously try to send a text message until the network allows it.
Pursley said the expansion of services is part of a broader state effort to adopt Next Generation 911 - a system that allows callers to send photos, videos and text messages to emergency responders.
"This is a very important tool," Pursley said. "I think (text-to-911) was certainly something we needed to do and that the public expected."
Pursley said counties aren't required to adopt text to 911 services, but many have chosen to do so because funding is available through the Public Service Commission. The costs vary by county.
Antelope County is adopting the system as part of a roughly $250,000 upgrade of its radio and 911 services. Sheriff Bob Moore said the county decided to include text-to-911 services to give callers more options, although it won't be installed for another 30 to 45 days.
"We know it's the next thing coming, and we just wanted to get ahead of it," he said.
Callers in Buffalo County have only used text-to-911 three times for legitimate calls, including one woman who reported an assault, said Sheriff's Lt. Robert Tubbs, the department's communications supervisor. The county activated its system in January.
Tubbs said the county adopted the system early because it wanted to ensure people with hearing impairments had a way to contact authorities. Officials also considered students at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, who are younger and more comfortable texting.
"It had been on our radar, and we felt it was important," he said.
Text-to-911 will become available in a sizable part of central and western Nebraska once Keith County activates its service. Because the surrounding area is so rural, the Ogallala-based emergency center also provides service to Arthur, Deuel, Grant, Hooker, Logan, McPherson and Perkins counties.
Cellphone service is spotty in the region, so texting may provide the public another way to contact authorities, said Pete Peterson, who oversees emergency communications for the region. Peterson said he expects more changes as the technology evolves.
"This is just another piece of the puzzle," he said.

CANNIBAL CORPSE Drummer Defends Band's Violent Lyrical Imagery
October 10, 2017
Paul Mazurkiewicz has defended CANNIBAL CORPSE's infamously violent lyrics and artwork, saying that people who take exception to the band's brutal and bestial imagery are overreacting.
The Florida-based death metal outfit has long been criticized for its graphic lyrical topics, with some detractors claiming the group's albums desensitize people to violence.
During a recent appearance on "The Metal Podcast", the drummer, who has co-written CANNIBAL CORPSE's lyrics since original singer Chris Barnes's departure from the group, was asked how he would feel if a female attending one of the band's concerts walked away being offended by CANNIBAL CORPSE's songs that deal with sexual aggression against women.
"For us, we just do our thing, I guess," he said (hear audio below). "We don't even really think about any of these issues or the mentality of that. I don't know. We just write our songs. Some have a little bit more brutality, I guess, towards women. It doesn't seem to be a lot more in the newer albums than the older stuff. But I don't know… I think girls know what they're getting into, if they're going [to a death metal concert]. If you're a female into death metal, you know the mentality of the music and what it's about and all that. So I would think most girls that are going to see death metal are into it and not just gonna go to do something and then go and be offended because whatever something about women is going on here. I think it seems like a lot of it's just an overreaction and blown out of proportion, maybe, a litte bit. I just wanna play death metal."
Mazurkiewicz did acknowledge that his lyrical style has evolved away from the blunt shock/splatter approach that he took in the band's earlier years. "A little bit," he said. "I mean, there's gonna be different mentalities. But then again, I still look at it as, 'Hey, we're CANNIBAL CORPSE,' and I look at, when I'm writing lyrics… I don't think of these things daily; it's not who I am as a person, so I know I'm delving into another world myself, of course, having to write these lyrics, because they're just not me. They come out of me and I'm happy for the stories that I create and all that, but, like I said, they're not me, because I'm not just sitting around, 'Well, this is what I do and think about every day.' I mean, I don't.
"I may write a song [now] that [I would say], 'Maybe I wouldn't have written this fifteen years ago; it's a little tame,' or what have you, or whatever," he continued. "But then, in particular, I wrote a song on the new album [the forthcoming 'Red Before Black'] called 'Remaimed', and it's pretty brutal. When you read the lyrics to that, you're gonna go, 'Oh, well, maybe it doesn't matter he's got a family and children. He's writing some pretty brutal stuff here.'"
Paul added: "You're always morphing and mentally, you're gonna change a little bit in those ways. And definitely, I've changed since having a child and all that kind of stuff. But, yeah, we just do what we do, and I just wanna write a good story when it comes down to it. And some songs maybe call for being a little more blunt than others. But, yeah, it's a little bit of a different mentality, I guess, but overall, of course, it's always gonna be horror-themed, always gonna be gore, always gonna be brutal in some way."
"Red Before Black" will be released on November 3. The follow-up to 2014's "A Skeletal Domain" was recorded at Mana Recording Studios in Saint Petersburg, Florida with producer/engineer Erik Rutan (SOILENT GREEN, BELPHEGOR, HATE ETERNAL), who previously worked with CANNIBAL CORPSE on 2006's "Kill", 2009's "Evisceration Plague" and 2012's "Torture".
