|Posted by Andrew on July 19, 2003 at 08:52:58:
I have the following arrangement in two bathrooms that I am renovating. The cast iron is around 70 years old, and one plumber suggested tearing everything out, including the stack, and replacing it. That seems a bit excessive to me, and sort of precludes me doing the work myself. So I was wondering if cast iron NEEDs to be replaced once it gets to be about 75 years old, and if not, what I can do with the two closet bends. They are back-to-back, the near one is about 15 3/4" from the studs, the far one is about 14 1/2" from the studs. The near bend has the sink drains coming in from the right, the bath drain from the left, and the far one has a shower drain coming in from the side.
I want to replace all the waste pipes in the bathroom, but I had been planning on leaving the closet bends in, since moving them seems like a bit larger of a job. That was until I measured the rough in dimension. I could build out the wall a bit to make a shelf behind the toilet so I can use a 12" rough in. So, if I leave the closet bends in, how likely are they to fail in the next 15-20 years, if they haven't failed yet? And to connect new drain pipes I had planned on cutting the 2" drains off near the closet bend, and using Ferncos to couple in plastic drains for the bath/sinks/shower. The current drains are brass. Will I likely get pinhole leaks in the brass if I do that? I'd be a bit concerned about trying to break those pipes out of the closet bend and not ruining the threads coming out of the closet bend. Also, if I keep the closet bends, can I just chisel out the flange, and then use one of those cast iron flanges that have 4 bolts to tighten down on the bend?
Thanks for the help!

John Taylor, British Museum
- This is the latest in a series of posts about the unfolding of the Norwich shroud, a joint project between the British Museum and Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery
When I visited the textile conservation lab to see the shroud unfolded for the first time, I was delighted to find that my first suspicion about its contents had been right – it is indeed a mummy cloth inscribed with texts from the Book of the Dead in vertical columns of red and black hieroglyphs.
Shrouds of this type date mainly to the early phase of the Book of the Dead (17th and early 18th Dynasty, about 1570-1450 BC) before the spells began to be written on rolls of papyrus. They are quite rare.
The handwriting appears consistent in style throughout, suggesting that all the texts were written by the same person. The script is semi-cursive: several signs have been drawn very rapidly and simply, and are closer in form to hieratic than hieroglyphic. Again this is exactly what would be expected of an inscribed shroud from the beginning of the New Kingdom.
The first glimpse of such an object brings a lot of questions crowding into the mind at once. Is it complete? Who did it belong to? What do the texts actually say?
The eye is naturally drawn to the double column of text in red ink roughly in the middle of the cloth and I was immediately struck by the presence there of a cartouche – the oval enclosure which surrounds a royal name in Egyptian inscriptions. For a split second I wondered if this could be the burial shroud of a king, but a closer look at the surrounding words showed this was not so.
The red text turned out to be the rubric (endnote) of spell 64 of the Book of the Dead, which gives an account of the mythical discovery of the spell in the reign of Menkaure, builder of the Third Pyramid at Giza (about 2520 BC)– and his was the name in the cartouche.
So was the owner of the shroud mentioned somewhere else? I cast my eyes further, looking for a name among the words in black, and there it was: Ipu (a woman), daughter of Mutresti. Both names are typical of the very beginning of the 18th Dynasty, and they appeared several times in different parts of the inscriptions.
Everything points to this being a classic example of such a shroud, so the next step will be to identify the texts. This is a job which needs to be done in the study, but even a preliminary glance proved to be informative.
The selection of spells that were written on these shrouds often varies, but some popular ones occur on most of the surviving examples. I recognised at the right-hand end part of spell 149, a description of the mounds of the netherworld, mysterious sacred places which the Egyptians believed they would have to pass by on the journey to eternal life.
This spell usually concludes early manuscripts of the Book of the Dead, and its occurrence at the edge of the textile suggested that we probably have one end of the shroud more or less intact. However, the left-hand edge is torn and there was no way of telling how much might be missing.
Once back in the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan I began to research parallel examples and to see whether anything else might be known about Ipu. Fortunately the great German scholar Irmtraut Munro has published a large two-volume work on early 18th Dynasty mummy shrouds in the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities in Cairo. I consulted this and, astonishingly, found that it included the shroud of a lady Ipu, daughter of Mutresti, covered with spells from the Book of the Dead.
The photograph in the volume showed that the handwriting is the same as that on the Norwich shroud and that the Cairo piece too is incomplete, so almost certainly they were parts of the same cloth.
Where did they come from and how did they become separated?
There is clearly more to be discovered about this remarkable object.

Parks Canada
Home > National Parks of Canada > Waterton Lakes National Park > What's New > Wild in Waterton > Gallery 8: Rutting Season
Fall has arrived in Waterton Lakes National Park and that means it's mating season for the park's ungulates. Each year, male deer, elk and moose grow a new set of antlers over the summer months. While they are growing, the antlers are covered in a soft protective velvet, full of blood vessels that support the rapid growth. When the antlers are finished growing in the late summer, the velvet sheds, leaving the shiny smooth antler exposed. During the rut, the males show off their impressive new antlers to the females, in hopes of winning their favour. The antlers are also used in the occasional sparring contest this time of year, but most dominance contests are actually won through ritualized behaviours like posturing and vocalizing rather than fighting. A drop in testosterone levels after the breeding season causes the antlers to drop off. This usually occurs in early winter.

I Love My Quilted Love Tote!
"Absolutely love my love tote! Very roomy & holds a lot! Great even for taking out when shopping to hold some purchases! I have even have used it when also wearing a small cross-body purse! Mine however differs from the advertised! It is sized about the same but there is no large ribbon ornament with jeweled bow brooch! Instead there is a faux leather bow held together in the middle with 1"x 3/4"x1 1/4" gold tone piece w/black raised heart & Betsey Johnson signature in center! It also hooks on/off and can be used as a key chain! I like this better than ribbon & brooch!! Also inside the tote there is nokey chain hook! I don't care! I just love this tote bag!"

Cutest bag ever!
"I bought the tan bag and it is very cute... It's a little darker than the picture listed so it would be a great fall bag. The details on the bow is very, very cute. It's a huge bag!"

Lovely bag -- bigger than expected
"My bag just came in this morning and I must admit it's significantly larger than I expected. The color (taupe) is really nice, more brown than tan but still nice. The interior lining is super well done, a great hot pink Betsey Johnson floral style. You can easily fit a laptop and other work/school essentials in the tote. It should make for a great daily bag!"

A leading Catholic bishop in Britain has criticised the direction the Vatican took under the leadership of Pope Benedict XVI.
The Right Rev Kieran Conry, Bishop of Arundel and Brighton, said he had over-centralised the Catholic Church and led it away from some of the reforming ideals of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.
Bishop Conry specifically highlighted the recent new Mass translation as an initiative from Rome that had had a negative impact on many Catholics in the pews.
The comments came as the Catholic bishops of England and Wales came to terms with the fact that they

"The material with which the sandals are lined is not appropriate for lining shoes. It's the same material as the top, linen-like. It is pretty, except this attracts dirt both to ones feet and the shoes. It also makes the soles of the feet peel. The combination of dirt, peeling soles and even the tiniest bit of moisture does not make for a pretty sandal after one wear. You would not want to take it off in public because of what a mess it looks like. I've worn my fair share of sandals or flip flops so it is not like this is a sandal thing. And my feet are not jacked up, dry or sweaty by any stretch of the imagination, but after one wear, inside the sandals was so dirty and caked with crunk you'd think the early man wore this. No, I was not walking in the rain or on dirt roads either. It is pretty but It is a solid disappointment."

President Bush has rejected stem cell legislation passed by both the Senate and House of Representatives. Bush vetoed a bill that three out of four Americans support, a bill that would have funded embryonic stem cell research; stem cell research that could help millions of Americans with debilitating diseases.
Who is setting the policy in America? Representative of the 300 million citizens or a vocal minority of evangelical activists.
One conservative ideologue has put microscopic embryonic stem cells ahead of living, breathing human beings. One man, George W. Bush, has put his personal religious belief before the hopes of tens of millions of Americans with fatal and crippling diseases - this I call religious extremism.

Area manufacturing sector sees slow recovery
LA CROSSE, WI - The manufacturing industry is fighting a slow recovery across the nation and in La Crosse, but local companies are helping to jump-start that recovery with their hires.
Jobs experts are describing the industry as slow, but not completely stopped. While manufacturing jobs a strong hit during the recession in 2008 and 2009, the industry is making a gradual comeback here, and graduating students in the area are more than ready to help.
Western Technical College is offering the skilled workers needed to help a manufacturing recovery. Two of their most popular manufacturing programs - welding and electromechanical technology - are providing students with skills that local employers are looking for.22435568
"In many cases there are 3 or 4 jobs out there waiting for them when they're out there applying," said Bill Brendel, a dean at Western Tech. "We're running short of graduates to fill the needs some of our local employers have."
La Crosse's Trane Company is eating up these manufacturing graduates - it currently employs about 200 salaried workers who graudated from Western Tech. Experts say as the recovery continues, there are more and more jobs available to students right out of graduation - especially with a workforce dominated by aging baby boomers.
"The average age of the manufacturing worker over these last few years has been actually increasing," said Bill Brockmiller of the Wisconsin Jobs Center. "What that ends up meaning is replacement jobs are increasing."
Department of Workforce Development numbers show 8,600 manufacturing jobs were added in the La Crosse area in August, a sign of the industry's recovery. But that recovery's trajectory is uncertain – thanks to the federal government shutdown, September's jobs numbers haven't been released yet.
But experts estimate the manufacturing industry will continue its path of slow recovery.
"We're going to continue to see this slow, steady growth, nothing that shoots off the charts, but it isn't going to turn south either," Brockmiller said. "We're going to continue to grow in the right direction."

Things to look forward to Part I
August 14 2009 01:46PM
Having kept strict radio silence for the past week, we have been alternating between amazement that the Oilers are this close to the ceiling of the salary cap and dismay that the expectations for the team are so low going into next season. Other than oscillating between these two frames of mind and watching every single moment of Big Brother 11, like many we have just been sitting around waiting for news to emerge from the Oilers camp that someone has addressed one of the handful of holes going into next season and waiting for something to get excited about.
Doldrums of summer
Right now at this very moment, Nikolai Khabibulin is 43 days older than when the Oilers first signed him and Dustin Penner is probably looking at the readout from bathroom scale in his solid gold house and thinking "that can't be right." Sam Gagner is probably kicking it out at some cabin in Ontario and bidding a bittersweet farewell to his 2009 summer romance. Dozens of other Oilers are probably wishing that Heatley had come to Edmonton after all so that the focus would be off their upcoming seasons and they could quietly come to camp under the radar. But we all know that will not be the case now don't we?
We are starting to believe Steve Tambellini when he says that this is the team the Oil are going to go with for next season and wish we could build some sort of time machine to either fast forward to the start of Camp, or alternatively go back in time a month and whisper "don't do it Steve, we hear he has the swine flu" into Tambo's ear as he tried to put the finishing touches on the Heatley deal.
But complete organizational standstill aside, there are still some interesting things we are looking forward to seeing unfold next year.
And one of them is Gilbert Brule
Last year Willis and yours truly droned on and on and on and on about this here Gilbert Brule, embarking on a monumental 4 part series about the guy, which we both immediately regretted publicly committing to onsite. "Four parts on Gilbert Brule?" we lamented via email to one another, "why on earth did we commit to THAT?" We won't try anything so ambitious this season, but we will start looking for things to be moderately excited about going into Camp.
For some reason we still hold a strange soft spot in our heart for #67.
We remember when we first heard of Gilbert Brule. We were on a road trip to Vancouver with a bunch of the boys and our Dutch Friend used Gilbert Brule as his person in a game of 20 questions. Of course no one in the car but the Dutch Nemesis had ever even heard of Brule at this point (the year being 2002) and he defended his pick of a super shady personality by regaling us with tales of Brule and his dominance as a Vancouver Giant. After our road trip ended. Brule was later drafted 6th overall in 2005 by Columbus, compared repeatedly to Sidney Crosby, then injured repeatedly in his 3 seasons in Columbus.
That was then, this is now
Now that the Oilers have signed Brule to an additional one year deal, we can't help but think that if there was ever a time for Brule to emerge as a bonafide NHL player it would be this season. Expectations are low, others on the team will be taking the heat and a hole in the lineup exists that Brule could fill.
Quick question: Is anyone harboring large expectations of this Oilers squad going into the new season? Thought so. Having said all of that, aren't these the same Oilers that seemingly turn on the jets every time we collectively underestimate them? Thought so too. For a player like Brule, who has often stuggled under the weight of his massive potential - a season like the 2009-10 campaign may be exactly what he needs to turn his career around.
Somewhere Brule has been training this offseason and getting himself ready to come to camp and produce knowing that he has no long term contract to fall back on or even any guarantee that this won't be his last shot at playing in the NHL. And we for one are looking forward to this level of effort from a guy that used to be considered a sure thing as an NHL star. Yep, we are looking forward to that and perhaps asking Willis if he wants to go halfers on a four part series about the career outlook for Colin McDonald.
Is it October yet?

This comment is a bit ridiculous. You decide to take a shot at Nicholls in response to a comparison with Schremp? If Schremp turned into half the player Nicholls was we would all weep tears of joy, so I have no idea what your point even is with this comment.
That being said, we can also be fairly certain that Shremp is not, and never will be, Bernie Nicholls.

Really Cute but Huge Bag
"I love striped bags this season and with the little pop of color this bag is really cute. However, it is really big. Of course I checked the dimensions but failed to realize that the bag has no structure because of the material. It really should be labeled a "hobo". It absolutely does not hold the shape that is pictured, unless you stuff it with all your stuff plus maybe a winter jacket. I am going to have to transfer everything from my current purse and see what it looks like before I make a decision on whether or not to keep it."

When Harley Jacobsen came into Doc's office the other day for his physical - you know, the one his wife, Gladys, insists on from time to time - it was a treat for Doc.
Harley is one of Doc's favorite people. Harley is a farmer. Not a young farmer, but a solid farmer. A 24/7 farmer. It is said in coffee-drinking circles - and we have several here - that ol' Harley can make hair grow on a bald head and wheat grow on rocks.
When he'd been thumped and bumped and listened to and pumped up and partially drained, Harley asked Doc for the verdict.
"Not bad at all for someone your age, Harley," Doc said, grinning. "But you look tired, so my advice is to take some time off and go fishing or take Gladys to the beach. Something fun. Relaxing."
"Can't right now, Doc," Harley said. "Plowing summer fallow."
"Well, how about later on?"
"There's harvest you know, and the trees will have to be pruned before winter, and then the winter wheat will go in. Have to overhaul the wheel tractor this winter and add on to the equipment shed, and then it'll be time to plant."
"Harley, I want to see you get some rest," Doc said. "You need two weeks with nothing to do. Get someone to help with the farm and go do something fun."
"For two weeks?" Harley asked.
"Two full weeks, Harley."
"Doc, I just can't do the job in two weeks. Took 60 years of farming to get this tired."

|In response to Re: Toto toilet - water running (G-max flushing system)
How do you clean the fill valve works? My water turns off eventually... It stops and starts repeatedly. What do I do... ?
: : : My toilet keeps running. Water fills up, in tank, past overflow hole and doesn't stop. Is there something I can do to the flushing system, or should I just replace it? I've never seen this type of flushing system (G-max) that doesn't have a floater.
: I had a similar problem with a Toto toilet. I went to a local plumbing outlet that handles Toto, described the problem and he gave me replacemet control unit - free. Their warranted for 5-10 years. I replaced the unit and it still cycled - the real probleem was the seal on the flapper $1.25.

Lecture Slides in International Economics
Lecture notes, lecture slides, and reading list from a Spring 2013 graduate-level course covering positive and normative issues in international trade as well as inter-regional trade and economic geography.
Part of the Nobel prize website, this page provides resources related to the 2008 winner Paul Krugman of Princeton University. It includes the video of his Nobel lecture - New trade, new geography and the troubles of manufacturing - that focuses on economic geography and trade, comcluding that: increasing returns have been a powerful force shaping the world economy, that force may actually be in decline, but that decline itself is a key to understanding much of what is happening in the world today. Users will need Windows Media Player or RealPlayer to view the lecture. The site also includes supporting materials, such as interviews, lecture slides and press releases.
This is a support website for the teaching of Wei-Choun Yu, Assistant Professor of Economics at Winona State University. It contains teaching materials for Macroeconomics, International Economics and Forecasting Methods. The individual course pages include syllabi, assignments, lecture slides and other materials. Each course page also includes brief links to external Internet sites.
Ed Dolan teaches global macroeconomics, managerial economics, money and banking, and other courses in several European countries. His blog features short articles relating to economics teaching, including news, data, examples, and illustrations. Each post has a link to a free set of PowerPoint slides that can potentially be used in teaching.
This course page supports a course on international monetary economics as taught by Olivier Jeanne at Johns Hopkins University in 2010. It presents theory and applies it towards gaining an understanding of recent events and current policy issues. The theory presented in this course covers a broad range of topics including exchange rate determination, monetary and fiscal policy in an open economy (that is, and economy that trades goods and assets with the rest of the world), balance of payments crises, the choice of exchange rate systems, and international debt. These theoretical frameworks enable the discussion of topics such as the current global financial crisis, global financial imbalances, the Chinese exchange rate regime, and proposed changes in the international financial architecture. It includes a course syllabus, lectures notes / slides and exam papers. The site is no longer online, so the link is to the Web Archive's copy.

The Emery County Sheriff's Office was involved in a traffic stop on SR 24, Hanksville road, which resulted in 14 illegal aliens being detained. Deputy Jarod Curtis stopped the mini-van for speeding. The driver of the vehicle did not have a valid drivers license and passengers couldn't produce identification which could be verified.
The Immigration and Naturalization Services were contacted. They advised they would pick-up all the subjects involved. The 14 illegal aliens were transported to Green River where they were picked up by INS.
Wards took care of towing the mini-van. Two other officers came and assisted Deputy Curtis in transporting the people into Green River. The people in the van didn't speak English and it is not known where they were from or where they were headed.

Now that the dust has settled across Europe, it's time to pick out the players who stood out from the crowd in Round 1 of the Six Nations.
Now that the dust has settled across Europe, it's time to pick out the players who stood out from the crowd in Round 1 of the Six Nations.
Wales got off to an unconvincing start defending the title against Italy in Cardiff, while France roared back to pip an impressive England in Paris.
Finally on Sunday, Ireland put in a strong showing against a regressing Scotland outfit in Dublin to nicely set up this weekend's match in the Irish capital against the champions.
So without further ado, here comes our offering – feel free to select your XV in the comments section below.
Six Nations 2014, Team of Round 1
15 Rob Kearney (Ireland) – Played in his 50th Test and capped a memorable performance with his side's third try late on, which sealed their victory over Scotland. Kearney was safe under the high ball and impressed in attack with 79 metres gained. He just edges out Stuart Hogg, who was, as usual, one of the Scots' best players especially with ball in hand.
14 Yoann Huget (France) – Two tries and 74 metres gained by Huget in Paris showed his threat in attack. Though aided by the bounce of the ball, Huget finished both his opportunities well, and managed three clean breaks – more than any other player – as he proved the game's most incisive runner. On the opposing side, England's Jack Nowell endured a tough start to his Test debut, but should be commended for showing the resilience to bounce back, finishing with an impressive three defenders beaten.
13 Michele Campagnaro (Italy) – The only time 20-year-old Campagnaro looked ill at ease inside the Millennium Stadium was when confronted with a post-match BBC interview. His grasp of the English language may have been lacking a tad, but his performance was outstanding on just his third cap; bagging two excellent long-range tries – the first a kick-and-chase, the second an opportunistic interception of Leigh Halfpenny's pass – and finishing with a whopping 107 metres gained and two defenders beaten. No mean feat at the home of the defending champions; an arena where England failed to muster more than three points a year ago. His opposite number, in-form Scarlet Scott Williams, also enjoyed an impressive outing, crossing the whitewash in the process.
12 Jamie Roberts (Wales) – Roberts returned to Test rugby with a bang on Saturday, and was arguably his side's best player. Typically direct and powerful with ball in hand, he provided go-forward and a platform from which Wales could attack. Unsurprisingly, he was used rather a lot by Warren Gatland's men; a total of 17 carries yielding just shy of 50 metres. And his telling contribution came via a powerful midfield break to send Williams galloping home. In Paris, Wesley Fofana had a quiet game by his own standards, but still proved tricky to handle for the English defence, with 47 metres gained, and a clean break to his name. The Clermont flyer was solid without the ball too, making nine tackles and missing none.
11 Sean Lamont (Scotland) – Despite a poor overall performance from Scotland, Lamont can be happy after a fine effort. He combined well in attack with Hogg and crossed the advantage line at will, gaining 75 metres in the process. Lamont also put his body on the line in defence with nine hits.
10 Owen Farrell (England) – Farrell delivered his best performance in an England shirt to date. His kicking game was spot on, playing France back into the corners when England's pack got on top. He was also unafraid to attack the gain line, releasing England's big runners and making 47 metres himself and beating a couple of defenders in the process. This though was about maturity. We forget he is only 22. A mention for Rhys Priestland who shone against Italy.
9 Danny Care (England) – Care's selection over the more pragmatic Ben Youngs was a statement of intent from Stuart Lancaster. It was one that paid off, however, as Care proved to be the heartbeat of the English effort across the Channel. Typically lively and threatening in possession, Care's quick tap-penalty led to a try for Mike Brown, and the scrum-half even took the opportunity to slot a well-taken drop-goal. It was rather surprising to see Lancaster replace him while he looked to be at the peak of his powers. Elsewhere, Edoardo Gori was a thorn in the Welsh side.
8 Billy Vunipola (England) – If you outshine Louis Picamoles then you must be doing something right. Vunipola was absolutely brilliant for England in Paris, providing two assists for both of the visitors' tries. The second one was a brilliant run, beating three defenders before serving up Luther Burrell for a try on a plate. He is such a destructive runner. Vunipola finished with 68 metres from 17 carries. Mentions for Jamie Heaslip and Sergio Parisse.
7 Yannick Nyanga (France) – The marauding openside was simply outstanding; a key factor in France's eventual triumph, and a more than able replacement for his injured Toulouse team-mate, Thierry Dusautoir. A perennial nuisance at the breakdown, Nyanga hounded the English forwards, and made over 40 metres with ball in hand courtesy of several storming breaks downfield, beating more defenders (seven) than any other player in Round One. Ireland's Chris Henry had the beating of the Scottish pack around the breakdown, and showed up well in the loose to gain 15 metres.
6 Tom Wood (England) – A man on a mission, at least to rough up Jules Plisson early on, Wood's work was dogged on the blindside for England in the Paris battle. He made 11 tackles, caught lineouts and hit rucks with fire. England's back-row worked tirelessly and probably deserved more for their efforts, but as a unit they are starting to impress. Wood is a key part of that with his leadership as well. A mention for Dan Lydiate, who after a busy week jetting from Cardiff to Paris and back following the birth of his daughter made 12 tackles against Italy.
5 Pascal Papé (France) – France's captain might just be filling in for Dusautoir – his words, not ours – but he did a pretty good job. France surged and then retreated before coming back right at the death thanks to Gaël Fickou, with Papé on the field throughout. He even made more tackles than Nyanga, a monstrous 14, and was at his physically imposing best trying to handle Courtney Lawes. Lawes also gets a mention for a hugely impressive shift and one notable lineout steal.
4 Joe Launchbury (England) – Lawes might have not made the cut but Launchbury does. His workrate is simply outstanding and at 22 he embodies England's current ethos of picking young, talented players and watching them grow. Launchbury made ten tackles and took his lineout balls, but it was his effort busting from breakdown to

Two-dimensional blades in the center zone offer enhanced stopping and starting power on snow and ice. 3D TredLock® technology blades in the shoulder zone offer enhanced wet and winter traction, locking together for confident grip in turns. Directional tread pattern helps channel water and slush away from the tire for enhanced winter traction and handling. This winter tire is in accordance with the mandated winter driving regulations in Quebec.
Not a great tire for the price. Decided to purchase these a few seasons back based on Goodyear's reputation and their new "WRT" model of this tire. I would say when brand new they were OK (not great). By the 3rd season "7/32 remaining" I am not sure if I would say they are better than an all season. For such an expensive tire there are much better alternatives.

Don't buy these tires for winter. Poor on ice and just acceptable in snow, really they just float. Should perhaps have an all season rating rt winter.

Every hunt provides valuable lessons
A bugle pierced the morning stillness and my son, Dillon, looked at me and asked, "What's that?"
"A bugle. And he's coming." I pointed to a downed tree fifteen yards down the hill and sent Dillon there to get set up. A moment later, a second bugle sounded off, closer this time, and Dillon signaled to me that he could see the bull. A heartbeat later, so could I. Antler tines were coming up the hill and cutting a course that would bring the bull to our left.
The bull, and a cow that was leading the way, had answered my calls from a spring, which was located about a half mile downhill and to our north. The distance they covered was incredible in the time that it took them to respond and now mere moments separated us from our shot.
The cow was the first to enter the opening, and she passed right through without a second glance. The bull wasn't far behind, and with his head down, he was a step away from the opening that would seal the deal. He took the step, framed perfectly broadside and offering Dillon what I thought to be a perfect quartering away shot, and I stopped the bull with a cow call. "Chirp." The bull froze, his head up, his eyes staring in my direction but seeming to look right through me. The shot would be coming at any moment.
The archery elk season had begun with some promise, but seemed to fizzle quickly as the days wore on. With my brother, Lew, and his son, Josh, having already put their tags on two nice five-point bulls, the boys and I were still struggling to find elk.
Josh's bull fell on the afternoon of opening day, and he and Lew returned to camp to report lots of bugling bulls, elk that rushed right in, and numerous shot opportunities. It was a good sign given that we, too, had found our opportunities on opening day as well, and as the day came to a close we were already 50% in shot opportunities for the camp. It was a great start, but Dillon has a saying, "Great beginnings mean bad endings," which usually applies to fishing, but in the coming days I would begin to wonder if that wasn't exactly the case.
We had spent several days early on hunting my favorite honey hole, a nine square mile stretch of timber that has accounted for every elk that I have put in the freezer over the past several years. This year, the place was dry though, with few tracks and nothing, really, in the way of fresh sign.
No matter where I seemed to hunt it seemed that the elk were one day in front of us or, as was the case with my brother's bull, one day behind. The boys and I had scoured the same area where he, a day later, called in two willing bulls and finished his season with a 30 yard shot.
And it's not that we didn't try to change things up. We hunted the same areas day in and day out, coming in from different directions and at different times, only to find elk tracks where we had been the day before or finding none in promising looking areas that were loaded with fresh sign the day before. It was going to be one of those seasons.
My brother, in the meantime, stuck around camp after nailing his season to the wall and offered to take one of the twins out with him. I was happy to give one of the boys to him, subtracting one-third of the noise, one-third of the scent, and one-third of the movement from my group. It's hard enough for a solo hunter to approach within bow range of an elk – throw in two other hunters and the multiplicity of scent, movement, and noise and the task becomes almost impossible.
But the subtraction of one of the boys from the group didn't do much to change our luck. Lew and my son Daniel continued to find elk, while Dillon and I spent countless hours putting miles of ground under our boots only to come up empty. The boys began having conversations about who was lucky and who was not and, had this been the early years of the frontier, I'm afraid I would have eventually been seen as the common denominator and cast from the group. Or eaten.
But suddenly, on the sixth day of hunting, here we were. Waiting for the shot, staring down a bull elk that had framed himself perfectly between two trees, I waited to hear the bow fire and see the arrow arch perfectly into the side of the bull. But Dillon didn't shoot.
The bull and I locked eyes, and after an agonizing minute in which I decided that Dillon wasn't going to take the shot, I lifted my bow and began to bring the string to my face. The bull held his ground as the string came to anchor and I settled my sights on its chest and touched the trigger of my release.
To hear Dillon tell the story, the arrow flew at least 10 feet over the bull's back. I'm not sure that 10 feet is accurate – five feet maybe, but 10? No way. But over its back, nonetheless, and it may has well been 100 feet high; a miss is a miss.
With the early morning shadows, I had misjudged the distance by nearly 15 yards. Later, after the bull had spun away unscathed and headed to parts unknown, I used my rangefinder to verify what I already knew. 47.5 yards separated me from the trees where the bull was framed. My initial estimation of 50 yards had been correct enough for a good hit, but the second guess of 60 was enough to send us back to camp empty handed.
And why didn't Dillon take the shot? The trees that framed the bull perfectly for me had put the animal behind a pine tree for him, leaving only its hind quarters visible; another miscalculation.
Sometimes the hunt goes that way, where nothing short of a miracle will change the tide and, at other times, it seems that you can do no wrong. It's humbling, this exercise in elk hunting with a bow, but it is the thrill of that one sudden encounter that keeps me coming back year after year.
My season is over now, and I'll have the next eleven months to think about the things that I did right and the things that didn't go so well. With every hunt there are lessons to be learned and at some point all those things will come together in the form of success. For now, though, I'll chew on that miss and continue to replay the events in my mind, content to know that another season will be here before I know it.

A Devotional Exercise in Harmony and Meditation for the Fourth Week of Advent
by Jessica Kramer, guest contributor
"Mom's birthday breakfast" (photo: Jessica Kramer/Flickr)
Christmas is almost upon us. In seeking God during this time, I have sought renewal in the darkness of winter, in the stillness in which to hear God. This fourth week of Advent brings promise of harmony, that the (often disjointed) pieces of our lives, hearts, and emotions might be joined into a single, but rich and layered, sound of joy.
This devotional exercise is designed for the fourth week of Advent and centered on a week-long meditation on, or exercise in, harmony. You can do the exercise alone or with your family. You can talk about it, write about it, or simply think and pray. Please adapt it to what works for you.
Preparation: Gathering Harmony
Collect a small group of meaningful objects from around your home. Let them represent the areas that make up your spiritual life. You're not limited to four objects, but, as a starting point, use the four categories — God, Earth, family (however you choose to interpret it), self — to guide you.
Your objects can be decorative items, pieces of nature, photographs, books, mementos, quotes, food, art, candles, or even just a word on paper. Choose objects that are meaningful to you.
Day One: Display and Reflection
Choose a place in your home to display and arrange your objects. This can be a central place or an out-of-the-way place, but it should be a place that will allow you some quiet as you spend a little time here each day.
As you arrange your chosen pieces, place them in whatever way is pleasing to you. You might put them in a line, a circle, stack them, or pile them. Do what feels right and looks right to you.
Once you've finished, think about their meanings. How do they speak to each other? How do they work together? What harmony, or lack of harmony, do you see? Some categories may overlap while others feel separate. How does it feel to see these areas of your life represented in front of you?
As you start this new week, think about what true harmony with loved ones, God, and the world around you would look like in your life.
Day Two: Self in Your Hands
Before you read the poem below, pick up the object you've chosen to represent self and meditate on it for as long as you need. Feel it in your hands. Think about where it came from and why you chose it.
What makes you feel at peace with who you are? What grounds you? What would it take to feel in harmony with yourself?
"Love after Love"
by Derek Walcott
The time will come
when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say, sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you
all your life, whom you ignored
for another, who knows you by heart.
Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs, the desperate notes,
peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit. Feast on your life.
Day Three: Love of Family
Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.
— Colossians 3:14
Think about the object you've chosen to represent family. When I began to collect objects for my display, what I first noticed is the overlap. My personal journal represents self, but it was also a gift from my mother, so it could represent family as well. All of the objects I've chosen could actually be linked to family or friends, and in some way all represent the love and caring that has threaded itself through my life.
Love binds the important people in my life together, in a way that nothing else can. Our actions and deeds toward one another may not always be perfect, we may struggle as the quality of those relationships passes in and out of focus, but underneath it all there is a basic and vital love that endures.
"A Homespun Love"
by Alicia Partnoy
Because this humble and homespun love
— just as you see it, simple, unadorned —
is what keeps our feet on the ground,
is what engenders the fruit of our nonconformity,
and throws us a lifeboard amidst the shipwreck.
Every so often our love blazes like thousands of stars,
gets dressed up to go out and uncorks
bottles of effervescence, cases of laughter.
You see, every so often, when the moment is right,
our love recalls that is it, like we are, a survivor.
What would it mean to you to focus on harmony and love, above all else, in relationships with your family and friends?
Day Four: Earth's Offerings
The poem below may be a familiar one to you, or it may be brand new. Mary Oliver uncovers a bit of what nature (the Earth) has to offer us; its power to reach us in ways not much else can, to comfort and to heal.
Wild Geese
by Mary Oliver
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting —
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
Pick up your Earth object. It may be a small stone picked up on a walk, or a seashell, or a dried flower. Whatever it may be, think about the memory of calm it represents and of feeling your place among nature. When is the next time you will allow yourself to take that walk again?
Day Five: Christmas Eve
Every day I want to speak with you. And every day something more important
calls for my attention…
— from Marie Howe's poem, "Prayer"
What would it take for us to be in harmony with God? It is so easy for us to do battle, to be unsure, to have a love/hate relationship with our capital "G" God.
Think about your God object and how difficult, or easy, it was to choose. How do you see God? How do you experience God? Remember a moment when you felt, whether it was strongly or just a glimpse of a glimpse, that you were in harmony with God, that everything felt as it should be. Maybe it was today, with your family, with friends, or at a Christmas Eve service. Maybe this week has been the most hectic of your year and experiencing God in a real way feels like a distant memory.
If the promise of Christmas tells us nothing else, it is that God is here:
'Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,
and they shall name him Emmanuel',
which means, 'God is with us.'
— Matthew 1:23
God will be, and has been, and is now with us.
Look again at your display of objects. Having reflected on each of the four this week, are they where you want them to be?
Day Six: Christmas Day
Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David. He went to be registered with Mary, to whom he was engaged and who was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for her to deliver her child. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.
In that region there were shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for see—I am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child wrapped in bands of cloth and lying in a manger.'
— Luke 2:4-20
The Christmas story is one we have heard many times, but let us hear it again: Christ is with us. His birth story is a story of God's desire to be connected to us, not in a far-away, godly way, but in a close, intimate way, in which the divine is paired with all that is mundane and earthly. In this story, God chooses to be a part of our messy, human lives. And maybe shows us that they aren't messy at all, but intricate, beautiful, and connected.
Think, once again, about the objects you've brought together representing God, Earth, family and friends, and your own sense of self. Imagine these pieces existing in harmony, not just as they sit in front of you, but out in the world in your life every day.
Consider your intentions toward maintaining harmony in the coming year. You may want to keep your harmony display intact as a reminder. As things change, rearrange the elements. Add or take away. Let yourself have quiet moments of reflection and may you carry harmony forward in the days and year to come.

In this installment of "Get To Know Your Jeans!" we'll teach you a little something about the fibers that are woven together to create your jeans. These two terms indicate the direction the yarn is going in the fabric.
The "warp" refers to the warp yarn, which is the vertical yarn. The "weft" refers to the weft yarn, which is the horizontal yarn. Because the weft yarn can be modified to create patterns and designs in the weave, you can think of the warp yarn as a kind of canvas or base. More technically speaking, the warp yarn is a foundation and the thread is usually stronger and more coarse, giving structure to the fabric.
Some denim brands vary the color of their warp and weft threads through thread-dying to create a unique texture and color as the denim fades. One brand that does this is NEUW Denim. Naked & Famous is another, as pictured below. When you cuff up the jeans and notice a contrasting color inside, the weft thread has been dyed.

Bringing the USDA Foods Mission to SNA-ANC 2014!
I love it when business travel doesn't feel so much like a commitment as it does an adventure. That's the feeling I had this year (and every year) as I packed my bag and headed to the School Nutrition Association's Annual National Convention (SNA-ANC) in Boston, MA. I was eager and anticipated a week full of sharing, learning, and exploring with a large number of our stakeholders!
I was excited to share with the audience the mission of the commodity purchase program for my agency, the Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). The program supports U.S. agricultural markets by stabilizing demand, while providing safe, quality foods to federal nutrition assistance programs. At one end of the supply chain, USDA's domestic food purchases support markets that America's farms, ranches, and fisheries rely on. On the other end, the "USDA Foods" that we purchase are a critical element in our nation's food and nutrition safety net. Read more »

Why I like teaching students like you
You have such enthusiasm for reaching your goals. Your class work is important to you, but so is what you're doing outside of class, whether it's undergraduate research, pre-professional clubs such as the Chemistry Club or service projects like running merit badges for Girl and Boy Scouts.
What makes my class a success
You are not going sit in my class and just hear me talk. You're going to be working with your neighbors, discussing and solving problems, doing class presentations, working in groups and assessing each others' work. You'll enjoy my class because you're going to be so active in it.
What you will take away
When you finish my class, you're going to take away the relevance that biochemistry has to your life. Not just right now, but in the future, when you're thinking about your health and your diet, you're going to take away that biochemistry is relevant to your life.
Expect to get a great job
There are many opportunities for you with a degree in biochemistry. You can go to graduate school and then on to be a research scientist a at major pharmaceutical firm. You can go to medical school, dental school or pharmacy school. You can also get a job right with your bachelor's degree. Some of our students have gone on to get jobs at the American Red Cross, Dow Chemical and Pfizer, so there many opportunities for you.
I will be available to you
If my office door is open, I'm more than happy to talk to you about something going on in class, or about your career goals, or about research opportunities for you. I am available to talk with you outside of class.
We want great things for you
We want you to do well in the Biochemistry degree program, but we also want you to grow as a person while you're here, so that you have the best footing for entering the next phase of your life, after you leave the University.

I was recently in a "half iron man" triathlon: a swim, a bike and a run.
