just read a PM from our friend SHAMAN. somehow it caused me to start thinking of the smell of the woods.
when my dad started me hunting , we only went INTO the woods in the fall. now even the woods in ''miserably flat country'' have a unique smell or scent in the fall . usually getting out at the beginning of squirrel season and usually it had been dry for quite a spell. had a clean smell about it. gave a sense of being clean when there.
we never went out in the woods in the spring or summer.'' why , you kids 'll come back with chiggers all over ya,,,and ticks too. ''
then a few years later dad started hunting grouse. had to drive an hour and a half to hunt them,,,,in those big ridges and hills of Pike County ohio. woods had a completely different smell , whether it was wet or dry , it was so nice . well i fell in love with the hills before that when we visited grandparents in kaintuky ,but were NEVER allowed out of sight in kentucky.
''why, you kids stay in the yard or a copperhead will kill you''.
well i don't know how i ever overcame the dreaded chiggers fear as well as the constant thought of dying from snakebite. but i do know i had this desire to ''learn how to hunt turkeys'' and i wasn't going to let no parasite nor venomous vermin slow me down. and not until i got serious about turkey hunting did i learn to appreciate the ''progressive scents'' of spring , especially in the rolling hills , where stagnant water doesn't stand in small ponds to rot the debris that falls into it , like in the flat country where i was raised.
to enter the woods while the frost is on and stay long enough for it to thaw and dry and take in all those changing scents of morning. then the days warm a little more and those redbud trees all bloom as them little tiny flowers come up through the leaf litter.
have you ever heard leaves drying in the sun after the frost has melted ?
turkey hunting has so many aspects of pleasure about it , and one is the ''progressive scents'' of spring.
we have to endure the winter, in one way or another no matter where we live. and days like we've had in january makes me really have a deep LONGING for spring .

I am sick of all the petty envy and jealousy of so many Americans. When it comes down to it, how much money someone earns is nobodies damn business.
Kelly, Weis, Willingham, & Davies
Balloon mortgages have been around since the 80's and they never caused a problem...and they didnt cause a problem in this current mortgage crisis.
The problem is 100% with the mortgage underwriters that lowered their standards and the idiots who made 100K a year and thought they really could afford that $1MM house. I dont care if its a 30 conventional fixed or a LIBOR ARM, if someone cant afford it they will end up getting forclosed on.
Derivatives have thier place in Wall Street and Main Street when they are used correctly. Credit Default Swaps have their place and were used mainly by the holders of cash bonds as a hedge....things got out of hand when they were used primarily for speculation.....kinda like the accupuncturist in Miami who bought 6 condos with option arms.....
Anyone else catch the recent largesse of congress in raising the postmaster general's salary from $186k/year (2007) to $265k/year and then because he is doing such a great job (the post office lost $2.8B last year and is about to see its revenue decline for the first time since 1946) they also awarded him a performance bonus of $135k. THis brings his total income with perks and retirement to nearly $840k for the year! And they have the nerve to fault the private sector for their management! Oh, note that they say it isn't taxpayer money that is involved. Wonder where that $2.8B loss was funded from?
T. Mac
Being in real estate, I get to be close to the mortgage market.
Just want you to know that Fannie and Freddie are trying to clean up their act. To do this, they have raised the points that are assessed for "conventional" mortgages that are given to buyers with high down payments and high FICO scores. (Yes, that does say high, not low.)Why does this seem to me like they are picking the pockets of the taxpayers twice? Especially focusing on those with the deeper pockets.
However, there is some respite for these buyers. If they are within the FHA limits in the price of the homes they are buying, they can get an FHA mortgage with only 3.5% down.
FHA interest rates vary compared to conventional mortgages. Usually they are a 1/4 to 1/2 point higher; though sometimes they are the same as conventional. Nobody (mortgage officers) has ever been able to explain to me how those variations are determined.
Banks are also raising rates on their credit cards. So, if someone has been able to make their payments currently, they may find they are going to be deeper in the hole with the increase in those rates. Maybe they won't be able to make those payments at the increased interest rates and increased minimum payments? Ooops! The idea backfires & the banks get more defaults instead of less? They have also found "loopholes" to do this with those balance transfers that were supposed to be at fixed rates "for the life of the balance". They simply change the terms of the card to add a "service fee" to the account. In some cases this can effectively triple the originally promised fixed rate. These changes are then applied at the bank's "whimsy" without any disclosure of how they arrive at the decision as to which accounts they will be applied to.
Really gotta give these bankers credit for using their heads, huh?

Progressive Foam to make Neopor insulationComments Email Print
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (Oct. 31, 11:40 a.m. ET) — BASF Corp. said Progressive Foam Technologies Inc. will make siding insulation made of Neopor for the North American market.
Beach City, Ohio-based Progressive Foam teams with vinyl siding manufacturers to make foam-backed siding products.
Neopor is a polystyrene insulation that contains high-purity graphite particles that enhance efficiency, creating a greater insulating effect with the same amount of material.
BASF marketing manager Aaron Wood said Neopor has been in high demand in Europe for several years, and the Florham Park-based chemical company expects demand in North America to grow thanks to a new IECC 2012 Energy Code that requires contractors in most climate zones to install a thermal break between the sheathing and the siding in 2x4 construction.

Venous insufficiency is a condition in which the veins have problems sending blood from the legs back to the heart.
Chronic venous insufficiency; Chronic venous stasis; Chronic venous disease
Normally, valves in your deeper leg veins keep blood moving forward toward the heart. With chronic venous insufficiency, vein walls are weakened and valves are damaged. This causes the veins to stay filled with blood, especially when you are standing.
Chronic venous insufficiency is a long-term condition. It is most commonly due to malfunctioning (incompetent) valves in the veins. It may also occur as the result of a past blood clot in the legs.
Risk factors for venous insufficiency include:
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask about your symptoms and medical history. Diagnosis is often made based on the appearance of leg veins when you are standing or sitting with your legs dangling.
A duplex ultrasound exam of your leg may be ordered to:
Your doctor may suggest that you take the following self-care steps to help manage venous insufficiency:
If your condition is severe, your doctor may recommend the following treatments:
Endovenous laser ablation or radiofrequency ablation may be recommended if you have:
Surgery (
Chronic venous insufficiency tends to get worse over time. However, it can be managed if treatment is started in the early stages. By taking self-care steps, you may be able to ease the discomfort and prevent the condition from getting worse. It is likely that you will need medical procedures to treat the condition.

Alesis QuadraSynth
The QuadraSynth was introduced in 1993 by Alesis, and it was their first major synthesizer. It's a 64-voice, 76-key digital synthesizer that also came in a rack-mountable version: the S4 Sound Module. It had a whopping 16 MB of sample ROM, and was the first synth to offer the ADAT Optical Digital interface. It also featured the same multi-effects processor as the QuadraVerb 2, drum kits based on the D4 drum module, 4 assignable control knobs, one PCMCIA card slot, 48kHz clock input, and 4 audio outputs.
The QuadraSynth is undoubtedly a powerful and flexible synthesizer capable of creating rich sounds - both acoustic and electronic. It uses digital additive/subtractive sample playback synthesis to create high quality stereo grand pianos, organs, strings, drums/percussion, brass, woodwinds, new and classic synth textures, and more.
Released in 1995/1996 came the new and improved QuadraSynth Plus synthesizer. The QuadraSynth Plus has more ROM (24MB expandable to 32), many more program patches (640) and mixes (500). The General MIDI library has been added, as well as an 8MB stereo Grand Piano sample (also found in the stream-lined QS7, QS8, QS6.1, QS7.1, QS8.1 and QSR models), and a PCMCIA expansion slot. For an all around versatile modern synthesizer that isn't focused just on dance or trance, be sure to consider the QuadraSynths.

Group: Giverny
Artist: Claude MONET
Birth/Death: 1840–1926
Title: Waterlilies and Japanese bridge
Date Made: 1899
Lender: Art Museum, Princeton University, New Jersey
Credit Line: From the collection of William Church Osborn, Class of 1883, Trustee of the Princeton University (1914-1951), President of the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1941-1947); Gift of his family
Inside Kameido Tenjin Shrine — indeed Hiroshige's image may have inspired Monet to have an arch built over his bridge on which to grow wisteria. Hiroshige placed small figures on the bridge and sitting under wisteria on the opposite bank; Monet has depicted a nature that is completely solitary, even at the heart of his family garden.
In the Japanese bridge paintings, Monet had retained a subtle linear perspective which channels the eye into depth, thus conserving a characteristic of naturalistic painting where the picture plane is conceived as a window through which one looks at a view. There are traces of this mode of seeing in the earliest water landscapes at Giverny where Monet depicted fragments of the world beyond the pool — reeds or willow fronds, the bank of the pool.
In the 1900 series the greens and golds are interwoven with strokes of fiery red from the setting sun that irradiate the whole composition with pulsing colour, and draw the eye down to the depths of the pool beneath the shiny reflections between the islands of waterlily leaves. Pink and white lilies astonishingly hold their own against the reds. These paintings — were influenced by the equally sensuous Japanese screens representing flowers on a gold ground that reflects light (see Bush clover, pampas grass and chrysanthemum, attributed to So¯setsu).

It's a ceremony Gregory Paul Peddle would likely be surprised by — a new Canadian Coast Guard ship dedicated in his name, in honour of his bravery for giving his life to try to save another.
And it also took place on what would have been his 59th birthday.
The CCGS. G. Peddle S.C. is a Hero Class vessel. And Gregory Paul Peddle is a hero deserving.
On Oct. 15, 1989, a diver was caught in a rip tide off Middle Cove. Chief Officer Gregory Paul Peddle and his colleagues Pierre Gallien and Raymond Welcher set out in a fast rescue craft to rescue the diver.
The sea conditions that day grew turbulent, the roar of the ocean echoed in the cliffs of the coast. Bravery and determination kept the crew going until their craft was overtaken by the sea and capsized.
Peddle, Gallien and Welcher all lost their lives.
Peddle was subsequently awarded the Star of Courage.
"I'm sure today, if Greg were here, he would be embarrassed of all the attention and honour bestowed upon him in the naming of this magnificent vessel in his name," his mother Susannah Peddle told a crowd gathered Thursday at the Canadian Coast Guard base in St. John's.
The crowd included family members, friends, crew members of the new vessel and other Canadian Coast Guard personnel and guests.
Susannah Peddle later proudly christened the ship by reading the dedication and swinging a bottle of champagne into the bow of the vessel as the sun bouncing off the harbour surface reflected on the ship's bright red paint. A strong wind kept the flags fluttering above.
Senator Elizabeth Marshall, on behalf of federal Fisheries Minister Gail Shea, officially welcomed the new vessel into service.
The CCGS G. Peddle S.C. (the S.C. stands for Star of Courage) is the fifth of nine Hero Class vessels to join the coast guard fleet. It will be used to support Fisheries and Oceans Canada's conservation and protection programs.
Hero Class vessels are named for decorated soldiers, veterans and police officers, as well as employees of Fisheries and Oceans Canada and the Canadian Coast Guard.
Gregory Joseph Peddle, son of the Gregory Paul Peddle, said the event portrayed who his father was, but also brought back the memory of that tragic day.
"I was seven years old and I can remember that day like it was yesterday," he said, pausing to contain his emotions. "It's been hard, a lot of memories and stuff brought back.
"We are happy that his name is going forward honouring the families and coast guard. His body was never recovered so it gives us some closure.
"He had a tattoo "Death before Dishonour" and his selflessness to lay down his life for another man is definitely portrayed here today. You hear many stories from friends and family that he was a family man and his dedication to the coast guard was phenomenal."
Marshall told the crowd that Canadians owe an enormous debt of gratitude to all those who have put themselves in harms way to save others.
"This new Coast Guard mid-shore patrol vessel will keep Chief Officer Peddle's memory alive and will ensure his bravery will never be forgotten," she said.
The vessel was built in Halifax by Irving Shipbuilding Inc. It is 43 metres in length, with a top speed of 25 knots and a range of 2,000 nautical miles. It is able to stay at sea for two weeks without reprovisioning.
Bill Peddle, Gregory Paul Peddle's oldest brother, said his brother seemed to always want to be a part of the Canadian Coast Guard. He said the vessel dedicated in his name Thursday is one his brother would have been proud to see. The ceremony, on the other hand, would be a little out of his comfort zone.
"He'd say 'what's all this about?', honestly," said Bill Peddle with a chuckle.
"He was quiet, very much interested in what he was doing, very focussed in what he did. Right from the get go I think he had his mind made up where he was going to be, and that's what he did."

Highway to Hell - AC/DC, part of my 4 and a half hour AC/DC playlist.
I should probably just buy Kill 'em All and get it over with, but it's a little pricey, and you're not the first person I've heard from say the weak production comes through on the CD.
I got super lucky on the Deluxe Dethalbum, I basically got in on the Amazon preorder a few hours before they closed it, and it showed up when they were not fulfilling all the preorders. I think they did or are about to do another pressing on it, they should do another pressing with new bonus features, I'd probably buy it again. BTW, turning it into a deluxe double album was the label's choice, Brendon Small wanted the whole thing to be the album but the label (Adult Swim) saw sales potential.

Has any seen the photos of this toy? I'm actually pretty impressed with the overall look of it. Of course, most of the body looks like lawn-ornament quality plastic and the hip-joint area looks a bit... odd, but the helmet sculpt looks great. Plus the size of the soft-goods means that they hang from the figure in a much more realistic way.
This is definitely something that I might consider buying, but that $50 price tag is going to be a bit painful.
Now I'd actually be interested in seeing other characters made in this line, like a Stormtrooper, Boba Fett or even a TIE Pilot.

Journal's impact explored, Nov. 30-Dec. 1
Posted November 16, 2006; 12:01 a.m.
Scholars from around the country will examine the impact of The Public Interest, an influential policy journal, in a conference set for Thursday and Friday, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, in 104 Computer Science.
The conference, titled "The Public Interest and the Making of American Public Policy: 1965-2005," is sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions.
The Public Interest -- founded in 1965 by Daniel Bell, Nathan Glazer and Irving Kristol -- was a forum for ideas on economic, educational and social policy reform until it ceased publication in 2005. At the conference, scholars who contributed to the journal will explore political and cultural developments during the time of its publication. In addition, Glazer and Kristol will participate in a roundtable discussion along with former U.S. Secretary of Education William Bennett.
Participants in the conference will include James Ceaser of the University of Virginia, John DiIulio Jr. of the University of Pennsylvania, William Galston of the Brookings Institution, Harvey Mansfield of Harvard University and Lawrence Mead of New York University, as well as Princeton scholars Ken Kersch, Robert George and John Londregan.

Utilities test new models to encourage investments in efficiency and conservation.
Utilities test new models to encourage investments in efficiency and conservation.
Efficiency is the topic of the moment. Across the country, utilities face increasing pressure to prioritize investments in conservation and load-management programs. But every utility has a different set of resource options and investment strategies, and every state approaches efficiency-related investments in a different way.
Amid this jumble of policy and business factors, one technical fact seems clear: Demand reduction is the low-hanging fruit, and every utility will be expected to harvest that fruit as thoroughly as possible—in part to demonstrate that other investments truly are necessary and prudent, and also to address customers' concerns about rising utility bills.
"Properly managed energy efficiency and conservation efforts reduce the need to finance and build resources," says J. LaMont Keen, CEO of IDACORP and Idaho Power. "That drives down capital needs and operating costs, and improves customer satisfaction."
In this year's CEO Forum feature, Fortnightly interviewed leaders at several companies with dramatically different approaches to financing efficiency and conservation investments. Their wide variety of perspectives exemplifies the many business models being used by U.S. investor-owned utility companies—and the multiple paths leading toward a more efficient electricity future.
Green Mountain Model
When Green Mountain Power CEO Christopher Dutton announced his successor last December, he said Mary Powell was "fearless as she embraces change and new thinking."
That's a good thing, because senior v.p. and COO Powell will take the reins to one of the newest-thinking utilities in the country. The company's power supply is almost carbon free, and it expects to satisfy all future demand growth with renewables or conservation. Plus GMP finances and earns a return on conservation investments through the state's "Efficiency Utility," and its returns are decoupled from its sales revenues.
Fortnightly: Most of your power comes from contracts with Hydro Quebec and Entergy's Vermont Yankee nuclear plant that will expire in the next few years. How will you replace those supplies?
Dutton: We're engaged in discussions with Entergy and Hydro Quebec. In fact we're exploring the potential to increase purchases from Hydro Quebec. But there's some uncertainty about relicensing Vermont Yankee. We certainly hope the plant is relicensed, and we can get an economically attractive agreement. The plant has been a remarkably reliable and efficient generator of electricity over its 36 years of operations, but we've had concerns about too much dependence on a single generating unit.
We'd like to continue and enhance the carbon-free characteristics of our supply, and the degree to which we can do that and achieve diversification represents one of the challenges we have going forward.
Powell: Vermont has become a leader in the country because of our Efficiency Utility. We've bent the load-growth curve through efficiency. That's no small feat. Now, how do we develop a renewable strategy for Vermont that meets our baseload requirements?
Right now the strictest definition of renewable wouldn't include existing large-scale hydro, yet it is an important resource for our portfolio.

With many movies, especially the recent glut of remakes, it's easy to figure out why they're being made. But others, including three releases from this week — Passion Play, The Beaver, and Hobo with a Shotgun — have plots so implausible that they must be jokes, we thought, until they actually came to theaters. Find out how aliens, hand puppets, angel wings, deadly snakes, and mythical characters all made it to the big screen, and whether they made good on their promises to entertain. More

Pakistan: Supporting flood-affected farmers
10 April, 2012
For two consecutive years, unprecedented monsoon rains and floods have swept across southern Pakistan's Sindh and Balochistan Provinces, affecting millions of people's lives. The floods of July and August 2010 and 2011 destroyed villages, communities and livelihoods, and forced many people to flee from their homes. In 2010, nearly 2,000 people died and an estimated 14 million people needed humanitarian assistance.
As of early 2012, an estimated 10,000 families affected by the floods still lived in temporary settlements in Sindh. Land remained under water in many areas, preventing families from returning to their villages and many farmers from cultivating their fields.
Habib Rehman's family home, crops and farm animals were washed away during the 2010 floods. Rehman and his family were left with almost nothing and had to rely on emergency aid. "I received food and other aid, but without any crops or animals I could not cultivate my land and provide for my family," he said.
When Rehman, a father of five, returned to his village seven months after the floods, he needed help rebuilding his home and farm so that he could support his family. With funding from the OCHA Emergency Response Fund, local NGO Shah Sachal Sami Foundation (SSSF) was able to provide farmers like Rehman with seeds and farming tools necessary to help them get back on their feet.
"I received seeds and farming tools for free. They also gave me enough fertilizer to cover two acres of land," said Rehman. "I was then able to sell the produce and generate some income to provide food and health care for my family. I was also able to buy books and clothes for my children."
SSSF also set up a cooperative system to help the farmers sell their produce in local markets to generate income. "Now my family is stable and we are not worried about going short of money or food. My children are not crying for food and clothing, and my wife is not worried about not having enough to cook at home," said Rehman.

On the other hand I don't care for snakes in general and while I will not kill a corn, rat-snake or similar, but many a banded water snake has been fed lead (or steel if federal regulations require) because i couldn't tell what it was soon enough. When in doubt shoot it out. If I can't tell in a hurry what it is I kill the crap out of it. It is easier to tell what kind they are when they are dead. When they are alive any snake swimming or around the water are Cottonmouths until proven otherwise.
Spiders are similar, for years I liked spiders as beneficial and more often than not just tossed them outside rather than kill them. My wife hated it and wanted them all dead. After two brown recluse bites, one black widow bite, one banana spider bite, and several unknown spider bites I KILL each and every spider I see.

Fact: Alabama has more snakes per square mile than any other place on earth. So yes, I deal with snakes almost DAILY. Most of the ones I see are water snakes but me and my sons have shot a few cottonmouths this year. And yes I do know what a cottonmouth is.
Last night me and my 17 y.o. son were feeding the dogs and there was a 3' rat snake in the barn. Spooked me when I first saw him but we didn't kill him.

One of the ways to quickly tell if it's a cottonmouth or a water snake if it is swimming is how their body is in the water. A water snake swims with more of its body underwater with it's head out of the water and a cottonmouth is more buoyant and swims with more of it's body on top of the water. I realize most people aren't going to wait to see but if you're in a boat or have time this is usually a good indication. PS I'm not a snake lover!
Fwiw, this is a water snake, perhaps trying to pose as a "triangle shaped" headed venomous snake:
And these are some little cottonmouths showing their signature flattop, like the old hair cuts with straight sides and flat top meeting at acute angles:
(Another "signature" that one displays is that they frequently, though not always, swim or float with much of their bodies out of the water.)
(Those last two wee ones also show the yellow tail tips they sport as babies.)
If you think I'm wrong, you might be right.
(And to see just how confused I really am, join us in my online blind at: 2016-2017 Season Log
Well that's not my opinion on the subject it's a fact that WM's are more buoyant and swim with their heads higher out of the water and water snakes swim with a lower head set and with more of their bodies under the surface. I'm not disagreeing with your experience but what I stated is usually accepted when dealing with WM's and water snakes. Either way I'm not a fan of snakes.

The Tyranny of Oil
Listen to this segment.
Iraq recently held an international auction to run its oil fields, awarding contracts to companies like Royal Dutch Shell, and Russia's Lukoil. As representatives of nearly two hundred nations, and over a hundred thousand climate justice activists wrap up the final day of a 2 week meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark on global warming, the auction winners in Iraq have promised to more than quadruple Iraq's oil output. There are currently 80 known oil fields in Iraq, but the promise of oil exploration and its potential yields have oil companies salivating. In her book The Tyranny of Oil, author Antonia Juhasz says that these companies "talk big about alternative energy, but their money does not follow their message… the companies are using their massive profits to scour the globe in search of every available drop of oil."
GUEST: Antonia Juhasz is is leading expert on the oil industry, international trade and finance policy. She is also the director of Global Exchange's Chevron Program in San Fransisco, and lead author and editor of "The True Cost of Chevron: An Alternative Annual Report." Her earlier book includes The Bush Agenda.

I attended one of MIke's seminars (workshops) in June 2009. I changed over to much more operation of my TT Pro 500 in continuous mode, versus momentary after attending Mike's seminar. My takeaway was that the immediacy of the momentary setting was really best used for applications right near the handler where you want it to be an immediate snap of a correction and then it's over. But for pretty much all corrections at a distance from the handler, even if you are shooting for a "nick" and not a "burn", you still do it in continuous mode and meter the duration with how long you hold the button down.
As someone else has already mentioned, you can put the collar on a moderate to high setting and "practice" your button timing. As long as your hearing is good, you can audibly detect when the receiver is delivering correction. Just don't touch it to your ear while you're doing it!

wow, better than what Ive found. Havent found anything past # 50 in the basic figures line.
Had all the figures up through #50, then today I found The new Obi Wan #54, plus the#55 and the 2 clone variants. I hope you'll excuse me for not knowing off hand which ones, as I am at work, and my figures are at home. I am very happy. But before then, the toys have been dwindling down at the store I work at.

Are these repaints only Wal-Mart exclusives, or is it that they've just been showing up there right now? If that's true, I can kiss my chances good-bye, just as I have with baby Luke/Leia. The Wal-Mart by me has never once had the exclusives in stock going back to 1996, and is a hotbed for scalpers. I stopped in there tonight (which is rare, since it's so out of the way for me), and it looked like they still hadn't refilled the now-condensed-to-5-pegs in weeks.

#24 - Gone but not forgotten
I went to the local Walmart today and found a bunch of Commander Bacara's and AT-TE Gunners on the pegs. One Mustafar Anakin, and only one Clone Tropper #6 repainted as the Shock Trooper. Since that was the only one that interested me, I picked it up. Also found a Red and Blue Guard, but I don't know if either are that rare anymore. I haven't seen the repaint of the Clone Pilot, Turbo Tank Driver, and Obi-Wan Red Leader. Any of you seen these?
It was the first time I've seen any new figures since the release of the movie..
"I have a visual" "Jedi?" "I think so." "How many? A thousand?" "No.." "Eighty?" "No sir.." "What? Fifty?" "Less.." "Forty? Come on! How many?!" "Two.." "What?!"
i work nights so i have plenty of time to hunt here in Missouri, i go to 5 targets,5 k-marts,6 wal-marts and 3 tru's every week, most stores i hit 2-3 times a week, nothing new for weeks just up to #50 ,vader evol. 500th vader, jedi vs. sith bp. tired of seeing the sw section filled with vader helmets, vader sprinklers, monopoly games and in some stores leftover sw candy. one of my targets reset the sw section from a 15' section down to a 3' section filled with neimo's and mas amedas,so i geuss they won't have anything new for a least another year!!!

Water quality
According to the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation, at least 1.8 billion people world-wide are estimated to drink water that is faecally contaminated. An even greater number drink water which is delivered through a system without adequate protection against sanitary hazards. Guidelines for Drinking-Water Quality recommend that faecal indicator bacteria (FIB), preferably E. coli or alternatively thermotolerant coliform (TTC), should not be detectable in any 100 ml drinking water sample (WHO 2011). An adequate protection against sanitary hazards can for example be public taps or standpipes, tube wells or boreholes, protected dug wells, protected springs and rainwater collection.
Between 2013 and 2015, annual economic growth is estimated at about 6% in developing countries and 2% in higher income countries
As economies grow and diversify, they experience competing demands for water to meet the needs of more municipal and industrial uses, as well as agriculture.
Water, energy and food are inextricably linked
Nowhere is the critical inter-relationship between water and energy more evident than in the Asia-Pacific region, home to 61% of the world's people and with its population expected to reach five billion by 2050. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) forecasts a massive rise in energy consumption in the Asia-Pacific region: from barely 1/3 of global consumption to 51-56% by 2035.

Asia is where 46% of the global primary energy is produced
Coal is the most prevalent energy product within the Asia-Pacific region, with China and India together extracting more than half of the world's total output. There is also a growing market for renewable sources such as biofuel, with China, India, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand among the leading regional producers. Both coal and biofuel require vast amounts of freshwater, and some areas within this region are already deemed water-scarce. While already heavily reliant on coal, Asia's demand for this primary energy source is projected to increase by 47% in coming years, which will account for 119% of the global total increase.
photo by Sean Gallagher
World energy consumption increased by 186% between 1973 and 2010 and for the same period industry's use increased by 157%
Global energy demand is expected to grow by more than 1/3 over the period to 2035, with China, India and the Middle Eastern countries accounting for about 60% of the increase. Over the period 2010-2035, there is evidence that demand for all types of primary energy will increase. Electricity demand is expected to grow by approximately 70% by 2035, with India and China accounting for more than half that growth.
Women and children represent a disproportionately large fraction of the bottom billion: the world's population living on less than US$1.25 per day
They have the most to gain from poverty reduction measures centered on improving access to water supply and energy services. Water and firewood collection can place women and girls at increased risk of sexual or physical assault, especially at night in the absence of adequate lighting. The over-reliance on straw, wood, charcoal or dung for cooking and heating is detrimental to women's and children's health: they account for more than 85% of the 2 million yearly deaths attributed to cancer, respiratory infection and lung disease due to indoor air pollution. Women and girls are also the most exposed to waterborne diseases.
photo by WHO-Anna Kari
More than half of humanity currently lives in cities
Between 2010 and 2015, almost 200,000 people will move to the world's cities daily, with 91% of this growth expected in cities of developing countries. Cities not only consume large amounts of water: their high concentration of industry, transport systems and buildings also demands large amounts of energy (cities consume 60-80% of the commercial energy). As many of the rapidly growing cities in developing countries -particularly in Africa, South Asia and China- already face problems related to water and energy, they will be major hotspots for water and energy crises in the future.

An estimated 870 million people are undernourished due to a lack of food or of access to it
Demographic projections suggest that world population will increase by a third -to 9.3 billion- by 2050. Most of this increase will occur in developing countries. Estimates suggest that global food production will need to increase by as much as 60% by 2050 to meed demand.
Agriculture is the biggest water user, with irrigation accounting for 70% of global water withdrawals
The industrial and domestic sectors account for the remaining 20% and 10%, respectively, although these figures vary considerably across countries. In most of the world's least developed countries, agriculture accounts for more than 90% of water withdrawals. Rainfed agriculture is the predominant agricultural production system around the world, and its current productivity is, on average, little more than 1/2 the potential obtainable under optimal agricultural management. Without improved efficiencies, agricultural water consumption is expected to increase globally by about 20% by 2050.
Industry uses proportionately significantly more of the energy supply than it does of the water supply
The industrial sector accounts for about 37% of primary global energy use and 19% of all water withdrawals, although the latter with big regional variations: 2% in South Asia and 77% in Western Europe. In developed countries, industrial water use may be stabilizing due to increased efficiency and the move of some manufacturing plants to low income countries, although lack of access to water may hinder such moves, especially for water-dependent industries. As industry is primarily focused on production, its interest is to secure water and energy at the lowest prices and not necessarily within a programme of water and energy efficiency. This provides an opportunity for policy intervention.

Juicy fresh pineapple chunks and jerk seasoning will turn this chicken dinner into a taste of the tropics. Don't forget your shades and the sunscreen!
For a pretty presentation, place romaine leaves on a large serving platter and arrange kabobs on top.
Fresh pineapple is available all year round, but the peak season is from March to July. Look for pineapple that is slightly soft to the touch with good color and a fruity aroma. Store pineapple in the refrigerator.

I used to regularly take newbies turkey hunting but haven't for several years. I try to help fellow turkey hunting buddies if they are having tough seasons, but I haven't regularly assisted other hunters for a few years now. I used to have a gentleman or two I took for years, but one died and the other is in poor health. Maybe that's a fault, but I just one day decided I didn't need to be dragging people into my turkey woods. Part of that is because I lost more than a couple of good spots to people I had taken, there is no shame for some.
Now for the point of this post: Last fall my daughter decided to take up hunting after not wanting any part of it for the first 28 years of her life. I was excited to take her and it added new life to being in the turkey woods. The problem is i have become so accustomed to being with seasoned hunters I expected too much of her. I coached her on some shooting tips and basic turkey hunting do and don't points, but somehow my brain expected her to react and perform to my expectations. I took her on a few fall hunts and she missed a nice gobbler. Now this spring i was waiting for her to go on the thunder birds. Finally Sunday she was ready and I told her to be ready at 5:30 AM, which evoked a moan. so I gave and said 5:45 to 6:00 trying to understand I had to keep it more fun than pain. well when we got to the woods I already felt we were late and was in high gear going out the ridge, but I had to remember the urgency wasn't mutual. When we got to the spot I wanted a gobbler sounded off on cue. I rushed to find a set up, and chose a spot just like I would have for myself; just above the gobbler and back off a break about 20-25 yards, so when we saw the bird he should be in the kill zone. Every thing was progressing just as I would have my hunt go, the bird was answering and coming. Every time I looked she was fidgeting or pointing her gun the wrong way. I assumed she would know the gobbler was going to swing around and come down the old log road, because I knew that. Finally he gobbled just over the rise and I whispered to her to shift to that side and get her gun up. The gobbler was taking his good ole time finishing the walk in, but I could hear him spitting and drumming. After a few minutes she whispers that she can't hold the gun up any longer, so I tell her to lower it to her knee. That ole bird stayed just out of sight for 10 minutes and I noticed she had scooted away from the tree and was struggling to sit upright. so I whispered to her I was going to rise up and take a look. I did and caught the old bird strutting with his fan to us, so he didn't see me. He was only 25-30 yards. so I told her to get on her knee and raise up to shoot. she did and I rose with her. There he was 25 yards and oblivious to our presence. so naturally I tell her, shoot him. I hear the safety go off, but no shot. He is still strutting so i wait and no shot. I say it again shoot him, he raises his head and no shot I impatiently say, "shoot him now". Well after about 5 "shoot hims" he runs off and I look at her and say why didn't you shoot. She was upset by then and said first she was having a hard time picking up the sights and getting on his head, second her glasses were fogging and she wasn't accustomed to shooting off hand so the gun was wobbly. She was afraid of not making a clean kill so she didn't shoot. I was aggravated and proud at the same time.
Now what I should have done. First remember that I can't expect a newbie to automatically know how to react, second be patient, third I should of set up so she could watch him come in and get ready, also that way see the show. Then I needed to keep my mouth shut as my urging her to shoot was only making her more nervous and uncertain of what to do. I am afraid I made the hunt less enjoyable for her. So please remember as you take newbies, to be patient and not weigh them down with your expectations. A large part of enjoying the hunt is learning and experiencing. Later we made another set up on a gobbler and I sat her so she could see a long ways. A boss hen got really pissed and came running to us and spent 20 minutes circling us purring and yelping, while ole tom hung up out at 75 yards. After both birds left she said that was neat, and when we got home it was the hen story she told her mom, not the gobbler got away story. so try and remember it's not just bagging the gobbler that newbies need, it's having a good experience. I will leave the "hunt for a kill" set ups to my seasoned buddies from now on and try to just have fun with my daughter.
I have called in three other gobblers for my buddies this season, but I'd trade them for just one more good set up with my daughter and this time I'm going to be more patient and less critical.....if she bags a gobbler then we'll do the high five jump up down and if she doesn't she won't hate hunting with me.

II Fórum GNOME in Brazil
Finally I'm going to Brazil to the second version of Fórum do GNOME that will take place at Curitiba, Brazil. I'm looking forward to meet Lucas Rocha, Sandino Flores, Tim Ney, Marcos Mazoni, Izabel Valverde and local community. (Thanks to Celepar for funding my ticket to get there).
I will also be speaking about GNOME at "I Seminário de Software Livre", at Univeridade Metodista de São Paulo on Tuesday 29.
Sadly, I won't be able to attend to "III SOLISC - Congresso Catarinense de Software Livre" at Florianópolis, because I must to be at my work on Friday 2.
I'll do my best effort to get my slides in brazilian portuguese; (but also in spanish and english as backup). Just I'm little worried, not because of the language itself, I know they understand spanish and I understand some portuguese as well; it's because I usually speak a fast spanish, even for chilean standards. I hope nobody care to stop me any time is needed.

By JB Clark/NEMS Daily Journal
Nine people were killed on Mississippi highways during the Christmas and New Year holidays, three in Northeast Mississippi.
Four of those traffic fatalities were during the New Year enforcement period, from Dec. 28 until Jan. 1. The remaining five fatalities came from traffic accidents between Dec. 21 and Dec. 25.
In Northeast Mississippi, Mississippi Highway Patrol troopers worked 53 collisions during the New Year period, four reportedly alcohol related. During that same period, troopers made 43 DUI arrests in the region.
Fewer accidents – 48 – occurred during the Christmas enforcement period in Northeast Mississippi and none of those was attributed to drunk drivers. Troopers in the region made 32 DUI arrests during that period.
During the night of Dec. 31 and morning of Jan. 1, 14 people were taken to the Lee County Adult Jail on DUI charges and nine accused of being drunk in public.
Statewide, 82 DUI arrests were made by MHP troopers. All four statewide fatalities came during those two days.
Three people died on Mississippi highways during last year's New Year enforcement period. Master Sgt. Johnny Poulos, director of public affairs for the Mississippi Highway Patrol, said the lower numbers came during an enforcement period that was two days shorter.
Statewide, troopers investigated 309 crashes causing 94 injuries during the 10 days of Christmas and New Year enforcement. Of the 309 collisions, 11 were alcohol related. Troopers also made 273 DUI arrests statewide in that same period.
The bulk of the DUI arrests, 63, came Christmas day followed by Dec. 28 with 62 arrests.

I bought a Mossberg 20 ga combo gun for my son for Christmas. It has rifled slug and vent rib barrels, both are ported. I did not know that when I bought it and I have found out Mossberg is now only offering their guns ported. I was near a guy at the range when he shot a 12 ga slug gun with ported barrel and my ear is still ringing plus getting splattered with what I assumed was unburnt powder. I checked with Mossberg on a barrel exchange but they will not even quote one. Got the combo from Dicks for $325 OTD and I did not really feel there was a need to research the 500, man was I wrong. Wishing I had paid closer attention to what I was buying as i would have bought a good old 870 instead.
How many of you use ported guns in hunting? Is the blast that great in the open?

I witnessed a similar occurrence at the GRCA Specialty Field Trial held at FT AP Hii,VA in 1978 or 1979.
The dog picked up the second bird while retrieving the long bird. Did not drop either bird on the return. The judges, as I recall, made a minor point deduction on trainability.
Certainly not for marking or perseverance or style.
The dog placed in the ribbons, i don't recall the placement,The dog was an FC/AFC before the FT, so the ribbon was not a "Golden Gift."
The "gallery lawyers" were buzzing as would be expected, but the judges, with "common sense", prevailed.
It was noted that none of the "lawyer" could support their erroneous conclusion(s). Even with the FT Rule in their hands.
They had the book, but not the Chapter or verse!
"The Rightous are not always right" I read that a long time ago and have found it to be a valid observation.

Targetted attacks at CEOs
ISC has a story about a new 'click-the-link' email scam with a twist. It appears to be targetted at company CEOs claiming they have been issued a subpoena to give evidence in court. (Story here)
These sort of attacks appear to be gaining in popularity. From my experience this could be a scary trend as CEOs (and other director type roles) are often the least technically savvy in an organisation, along with often the worst security and patch level. I can't help thinking these are targets are going to be successful, and likely becoming less of a rarity.
Forgot to mention, as is often the case AV covereage is poor 3/32 on VirusTotal
Who fancies interrupting a round of golf to ask the top man not to click the pretty links? (me neither...)

Ada and Beatrice Beattie were the sisters of William Beattie, a musician, singer, actor and writer, and one of Lambert's closest friends in Sydney at the turn of the century. Beattie was best man at Lambert's wedding. He contributed to the Australian Magazine (1899) and wrote a tribute to Lambert in the Lambert memorial number of Art in Australia (Lambert 1930). Lambert drew this pencil portrait of Ada Beattie when she was lying in bed with the flu, while he discussed amateur theatricals with her.
Lambert's remarkable ability as a draughtsman was recognised early on. In 1897 the Sydney Daily Telegraph critic remarked of one of Lambert's pencil drawings that 'Few men in Australia …
can do more with a pencil than he' (Sayers 1989, p.126). In this drawing he used his pencil expressively to capture the cosy warmth of Ada Beattie's wrap, contrasting these energetic lines with the brief outlines with which he hinted at the pillows and bedlinen. Likewise, he drew her hair using a dark pencil and her facial features with more subtle, delicate gestures. In this way
he gave interest and variety to the image.
Lambert showed this drawing, together with pencil portrait sketches of Beatrice Beattie and William Beattie, in the New South Wales Society of Artists exhibition in 1898. It was then purchased by the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Campylobacteriosis is a gastrointestinal disease caused by a type of bacteria called Campylobacter. Illness usually occurs 2 to 5 days after exposure to Campylobacter and lasts about a week. The illness is usually mild and some people with campylobacteriosis have no symptoms at all. However, in some persons with compromised immune systems, it can cause a serious, life-threatening infection. The diagnosis is usually made when a laboratory finds Campylobacter in the stool of an infected person.
Symptoms of campylobacteriosis include diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever. Most people with campylobacteriosis recover completely. However, a small percentage of people may have joint pain and swelling after infection. In addition, a rare disease called Guillain-Barre syndrome that causes weakness and paralysis can occur several weeks after the initial illness.
Campylobacteriosis is most commonly associated with eating raw or undercooked poultry. Chickens are frequently infected with Campylobacter although they show no symptoms. Past studies have shown that over half of the raw chicken sold in stores in the United States have Campylobacter on it. Cross-contamination with Campylobacter can sometimes occur when raw poultry is sliced on a cutting board, and the unwashed board or knife is then used to prepare vegetables or other lightly cooked foods. Eating anything contaminated with Campylobacter can result in illness. Animals can be infected by Campylobacter.
Outbreaks of campylobacteriosis have occurred when people have drunk surface water that has been contaminated by infected birds or cows. Additionally, people have become ill from contact with infected dogs and cats, and from drinking or eating products made with unpasteurized milk from infected cows.
Most people with campylobacteriosis recover fully without any antibiotics. However, it is important to drink enough fluids to prevent dehydration. Antibiotics should be reserved for very severe cases. People with diarrhea (especially children in day care or people who handle food) should not go to school, day care or work until the diarrhea ends, in order to prevent spreading campylobacteriosis to other people.
What can a person do to prevent campylobacteriosis?
