If you want to improve your golf and lower your card, the only way is practice, practice, practice. And that can get very difficult to do when get home from work and have to head off to the club or down to the practice range. So the only way to get the amount of time handling a club and improving your swing is in your own garden or recreation room mashing those balls into a golf practice net.
Of course, not everyone has a garden large enough to take a full size golf practice cage and very few have an indoor room high enough for a full blooded swing with a distance club but indoor golf practice will certainly improve your game. Therefore you need to consider carefully the different types of indoor golf nets on the market.
With a practice mat to protect your carpet, there are quite a number of nets that will allow you to get nicely into the rhythm required for pitching. Pitching is one area where most weekend golfers don't spend enough practice time. Go for the big club and get lots of distance is the most practiced part of the recreational golfer and that shows up when they get to a few yards short of the green.
But who can blame them.
There is something very satisfying about trying to knock the cover off the ball after a frustrating week at the office or any other workplace. But of an evening, after kid's bed time or when there is absolutely nothing worth watching on the TV, half an hour of pitching into a golf chipping net can be extremely relaxing and finally rewarding.
A good pitching net with well weighted lower edge cord or fixed rail can be set up in minutes and the feeling of being out on the course will soon take the tightness out of neck and shoulders. Two therapies for the price of one; better golf at the weekend and the days mental and physical tension removed.
If you have the luxury of a lawn out the back, then a large strongly corded golf driving net will be a great way to end the day. Just make sure that it's well secured and don't get so far back from the net that a badly struck ball is going to sail over the neighbors' fence. Stay up close enough in case that club heel gets one away and the errant ball stays inside the net curtain. Once again, you'll need a Golf Mats in order not to end up with a large, wide divot.
If you're a good enough golfer to continually hit the ball with the same stroke and continually place the ball into the same area of the net, some wear will occur from ball friction and eventually the net will become unsafe. Probably when you least expect it such as when your neighbor is out washing his or her car. Every now and then move the mat and hit off center into the net. Ultraviolet sun rays will also reduce the strength of the nylon cord over time even though most nets these days are made from UV protected cable.
So, even though golf can be maddening and frustrating, take as much time as you can squeeze, and start thrashing away into a golf training net. Because it will make the weekend game, when you actually get out onto a real course, much more rewarding and warmly satisfying with your improved long and short game.

Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, attached to this thread, you can download a Depth Chart in PDF format for the 2014 Miami Dolphins. This is a way we can follow our team being built.
As players are added/released/numbers changed, etc. this Depth Chart will be updated to reflect those changes. Of course this is NOT an official depth chart for the 2014 season. The only official depth chart will be released by head coach Joe Philbin during training camp. This is a nice way to follow our team and where we stand position wise during free agency and the draft, that just a plain roster list can not.
Since changes to the depth chart can change on a daily basis and from practice to practice, it is possible the depth chart could be updated more than once during the course of any given day. Since that is the case, in addition to giving the date that it was updated, I will also include the time in Eastern Standard Time that it was updated.
Players in BLUE indicate unsigned Restricted Free Agents that the Dolphins have placed tenders on. Another team is welcome to try and sign these players, but may be required to give the Dolphins compensation in return. Also, if signed by another team, the Dolphins have the right to match the offer and retain the player.
Players in GREEN indicate unsigned Exclusive-Rights Free Agents that the Dolphins have placed tenders on. These players have two choices, A) Accept the offer and play for the Dolphins, or B) Refuse the offer and sit out the season. These players can not talk to any other NFL team. As long as the Dolphins made a qualifying offer, the team will hold their rights for the entire 2014 season.
Players in RED indicate unsigned 2014 NFL Draft choices made by the Dolphins.
Player in ORANGE indicate unsigned Franchise Tag recipient.
Players in PURPLE indicate unconfirmed undrafted free agent signings. Color will be removed once the Dolphins officially announce the signing.
Players in AQUA indicate players currently on PUP.
Please feel free to offer your input, discuss the roster and point out any mistakes or updates.
Please enjoy!

It is hard to keep track of everyone's opinions on the 'controlled break' thread...
if a sr handler speaks to his dog because he 'feels' the dog is about to break (even tho the dog is NOT making forward movement), do you as a judge drop the dog or carry the dog with appropriate 'penalty'. .. the dog may be 'dancing', may be standing, may be whining..whatever...the bottom line is that the dog has NOT made forward movement.
arm chair judging, regards.

By Bobby Harrison/NEMS Daily Journal
JACKSON – House and Senate negotiators continued to work Thursday to reach agreement on how to divvy up close to $5.6 billion in tax revenue to fund state government ranging from education to public safety to health care.
Like Wednesday, negotiators said they were close, but still working on minor details.
Few numbers were available Thursday of how that final agreement would look.
"We're extremely close," said Senate Appropriations Chair Buck Clarke, R-Hollandale, who said much of the work now involved meeting with agency heads about whether to allow them to keep in their budget money for positions that have been vacant, but might need to be filled during the upcoming fiscal year.
The negotiations have been a little less difficult because of an additional $97 million made available to appropriate in recent days because tax collections have been better than expected.
"You threw that money on the table and heard a giant sucking sound," said House Appropriations Chair Herb Frierson, R-Poplarville, who said those funds went to various critical needs.
Both Appropriations chairs said that they believe no agency would suffer cuts that will force dramatic changes. Still, most agencies, including education, most likely still will be funded at a level below what they were receiving before the national downturn in the economy in 2008.
Many other pieces of legislation also are in conference where House and Senate negotiators are trying to work out differences. Those bills include issues dealing with charter schools, pre-kindergarten programs, bond bills to finance long-term construction projects and tax breaks for businesses.
The Legislature is expected to work this Easter weekend as it tries to finish its work before the session scheduled final day on April 7.

A visit to Rabbi Akiva's tomb in Tiberias is a chance to consider the many aspects of his life with significance for the Jewish people and all humanity: he started out as a poor ignorant shepherd, but became a great sage with 24,000 students, and a wealthy man.
His wife Rachel, who married him against the wishes of her father because of Akiva's poor prospects, supported his career of study; theirs was a great love story.
Akiva, who backed the second-century CE rebel leader Bar Kokhba, was put to death by the Romans with the Shema the last words to pass his lips.
According to tradition, his body was miraculously transported to Tiberias for burial alongside his students who had died in a plague. His tomb, located on the mountainside behind the Kiryat Moshe neighborhood, overlooks Tiberias and the Kinneret, and has been a pilgrimage site at least since the early Middle Ages. It became a special tradition to pray for rain at Rabbi Akiva's tomb during drought years. Among those who visited here was Rabbi Isaac Luria, the Ari, which made the site even more sacred.

Weird War Tales: Featuring the Creature Commandos #105 November 1981 (DC Comics)
I don't think any of those are action figures. Besides, the Indy potato head is cool!
He's got the 12" indy, the whip and Potato head! That rules.
Harrison wanted to buy a few 3 3/4" figures too, but he couldn't find a good paint app.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Harrison has an adopted 7 year old son. I bet the toys are for the boy. Otherwise, he's possibly assembling a "one-of-everything" collection to autograph for a charity. I just don't see him as wanting these things for himself. IF he were changing his tastes in his older age, I'd call it a senior-moment. But I don't think that's Harrison for you. I'd be very curious to learn how he finds Star Wars these days with a 7 year old son.
Meanwhile I went to Target this morning for my first time in a while.
There was a guy with a backpack who came in and bought a gold coin Dark Trooper and the Indiana Jones Jungle Cutter Vehicle.
I think guys with backpacks are getting around by bus or bicycle, but I DO wonder if some are scalping. But this guy's purchase of the Jungle Cutter VEHICLE didn't suggest that, since scalpers usually go for cheaper items AND this guy never looked in the Hot Wheels isle at all.
Anyway, they had every Indiana Jones product out finally. It prompted me to think of an idea for another type of figure collecting that I'll post in the "other toys section - or general discussion." I liked looking at the stuff but wasn't really interested in buying any of it. I suppose if I did NOT already have a Star Wars collection, getting into something like this would be interesting, but as it stands, I was not tempted.
I bought a Tri-Droid that must have been a return or found-stash or something. I needed 2 more, and there was 1 right on the pegs. There was no other figure from that Wave 1 though (and No TFU Wave 2 either). They had a Neyo on the pegs, but I don't want him (I have the speeder bike set).
Oh, in the 12", I thought the Jones figures looked pretty good. I played with the talking one for a little while. The only one they did NOT have was the German Officer. I'd be interested to take a look at him. The Mutt Williams figure is a pretty good likeness for Shia LeBouf, too.
BTW: with the 3 3/4" figures, I think the likenesses are pretty good. I've seen complaining, but I'd like them enough to buy them, once again, if I wasn't already dedicated to SW and that is basically enough.
Oh, lastly, they had The Incredible Hulk toys out on display. There's only 3 figures? Honestly, super hero toy lines can be pretty sad. I think Batman has the best villain rogues gallery, and Spider-Man is next. X-men is a war, so they do pretty well, too. The Hulk stuff rather bored me. The last time around, with mutated dogs, it was sort of interesting I guess.
BAD Pts Need: R5-C7 lf leg (x2), , R4-P44 right leg BAD Pts Offered For Trade: PM me - I have lots of parts now including BG-J38!. New Kyle Katarn is also available.
Burbank Target had a full case of old Legends out today, including a Dark Trooper. They also had a full case of FU, but the Shadow Guard was missing. Sounds like the black-pauldron Sandtrooper is not coming, as it was a Hasbro photo goof (according to RS/GH).
That large-wing white Tie is still at TRU, and tempts me every day. I absolutely have no place to put such a monster, but that's not gonna stop me from getting the BMF Falcon later on...
I picked up one each of the FU Stormies this morning at Burbank Target (for some part-swappin fun) and Snake Mutt for an eventual Sam Witwicky custom. No Joes, just Comic Packs (a couple twins, Destro/Breaker, Ace/WW, SS/SE #2, a couple CG/Scarface)
Titaniums were also full. I almost bought the fiery Jedi Starfighter for the novelty of the paintjob, but it's just too garish. A couple 181st squints & Mace JSFs, some T-16s, a few AOTC Royal Cruisers as well as plenty of AT-STs rounded out the assortment beyond whatever leftovers were there. I think Hootie made off with the 2nd hot-rod JSF.
Possible new scalper: a guy was wandering the aisles on the phone, describing toys to the person on the other end, sounding shocked that someone else in the store found a tube-packaged Bumblebee "just sitting there" among the other tubed TFs. He moved on to the Spidey toys (animated) and said "There's a lot of Doc Ock here, that means he's common. There's two of Spider-Man in the black suit, but he looks cool anyway*. Venom would be another good one, if he was here." ...gave me the impression of a scalper. He came around to look at Titaniums and asked me if there was anything hot or new.
*as if more than one on pegs means "common", or so it sounded to me
I lament the fact that I will never be able to buy an action figure of myself to share with my children. If only every dad could have that experience.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
The closest that that has happened to someone I know, is a friend who voices a video game character and the figures from that game are coming out soon (don't remember the video game, I'll ask). He isn't famous or anything, he's just a voice actor, but he is very excited about "his" action figure coming out.

With the discussion going on about a senior test with a blind up the middle let me present you with this scenario. The above quote is from the HT guideline.Page 33 - Whenever a blind is placed prior to a mark going down and it is to be run after the mark is retrieved, the blind shall never be placed in the same area of the fall or near enough to the gun station as to intentionally mislead the dog on its mark. This does not apply, however, to a bird that is thrown while a dog is running on a blind. Such a bird is not a trick, but a diversion bird for the dog on the blind and as such it is judged as a control situation, not as a mark.
Master Test
Double Mark First bird throw is flyer
Blind in between the marks, roughly 25 yards from both falls and is hot. (bird planted)
Instructions to handler after both marks go down, pickup first mark of your choice, then run the blind, then pickup second mark.
Judges actions : if flyer landed too close to blind, no bird was called and sent back 3 dogs.
Would this constitute a violation of the rule stated on page 33?

Feds agree to decide on bird status in 4 years
MONTPELIER, Vt. — A national environmental group said Tuesday it had reached a settlement with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service over endangered species status for a rare songbird, giving the federal agency four years to decide whether Bicknell's thrush should be protected.
The Center for Biological Diversity says climate change threatens to destroy the habitat of the sparrow-sized bird, which nests on mountaintops in northern New England, the Adirondacks and eastern Canada. The group sued the Fish and Wildlife Service when it did not meet a legally mandated 2012 deadline to decide if it should be protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Mollie Matteson, the center's Northeast representative based in Richmond, Vt., called Monday's agreement a "ray of hope."
"Time is growing short for the thrush and its vulnerable habitat," she said.
Meagan Racey, a spokeswoman for the Fish and Wildlife Service's Northeast region in Hadley, Mass., said the agency hasn't seen a settlement agreement and therefore can't comment.
The center had petitioned the federal agency seeking protective status for bird, and maintained that the agency was required by law to issue a decision one year after finding that the bird was being considered for endangered species status.
The federal agency completed a 90-day review in August 2012 and found that the habitat of the Bicknell's thrush faces threats from climate change and forestry, energy, and recreational development such as ski areas.
The service then began a 60-day period when it invited more information on the bird and its habitat. Following that period, the service said it would issue a 12-month finding on the center's petition, but never did. The Bicknell's thrush also was not on the service's listing work plan for 2013 to 2018, released in February.
The settlement gives the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service until fiscal year 2017 to decide on protection status for the bird.
The group has been settling with the Fish and Wildlife Service on many species in the last couple of years, Matteson said.
"There's been a lot of species that have languished in this kind of limbo land for many years with the service not making decisions so actually even though it is four years it's a good thing because we know for sure that they will make a definitive decision," she said.

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a heart defect in which the left coronary artery (which carries blood to the heart muscle) is connected to the pulmonary artery instead of to the aorta.
ALCAPA is present at birth (congenital).
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery; ALCAPA; ALCAPA syndrome; Bland-White-Garland syndrome
An anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery is a problem that occurs when the baby's heart is developing early in the pregnancy. The developing blood vessels in the heart do not connect correctly.
In the normal heart, the left coronary artery starts in the aorta -- the major blood vessel that takes oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body.
In children with ALCAPA, the left coronary artery starts at the pulmonary artery -- the major blood vessel that takes oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs.
When the left coronary artery starts in the pulmonary artery, it carries oxygen-poor blood to the left side of the heart. When the heart does not get enough oxygen, it begins to die, a condition leading to a heart attack in the baby.
A condition known as "coronary steal" further damages the heart in babies with ALCAPA. The low blood pressure in the pulmonary artery causes blood from the abnormal left coronary artery to flow toward the pulmonary artery instead of toward the heart. This results in less blood and oxygen to the heart, which will also lead to a heart attack in a baby. Coronary steal develops over time in babies with ALCAPA if the condition is not treated early.
Symptoms of anomalous left coronary artery in an infant include:
Symptoms can appear within the first 2 months of the baby's life.
ALCAPA can be diagnosed in an infant. However, this defect may not be diagnosed until someone is a child or adult.
Signs of ALCAPA include:
Tests for anomalous left coronary artery include:
Surgery is needed to correct ALCAPA. Usually only one surgery is required, depending on the baby's condition and the size of the involved blood vessels.
If the heart muscle supporting the mitral valve is seriously damaged from decreased oxygen, the baby may also need surgery to repair or replace the valve. The mitral valve regulates blood flow between the chambers on the left side of the heart.
If the baby's heart is already severely damaged from lack of oxygen, a heart transplant may be an option.
Medications include:
See also:
Without treatment, most babies do not survive their first year. Those who survive without treatment may have severe complications and other cardiovascular problems, or could die suddenly during the following years.
With timely treatment such as surgery, most babies do well and can expect a normal life. However, they need routine follow-ups with a heart specialist (cardiologist).
Complications of ALCAPA include:

The Center for Community Safety Receives Grant to Expand STARS
The Center for Community Safety (CCS) at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) has received a $143,000 grant from the Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust to expand the "Students Taking Action and Reaching Success" program, known as STARS, into two additional Forsyth County middle schools in the 2013-2014 school year.
STARS is a middle school-based elective program that teaches life skills to promote self –esteem and spark students' internal drive and motivation to want to succeed. Last year, over 200 students participated in the program at the three inaugural schools, Flat Rock, Hanes and Philo-Hill Magnet Academy. This year, a total of nearly 400 students are expected participate in STARS at five schools.
"STARS represents more than a single program and is important for our community given the limited resources available to focus on positive youth development that can lead to a reduction in juvenile crime," said Alvin Atkinson, CCS executive director. "STARS provides a targeted strategy to improve outcomes for youth, both in and out the classroom, by offering effective, evidenced-based youth development preventions in an effort to eliminate the need for criminal justice interventions. With over 80% of juvenile crime in Winston-Salem being committed by youth ages 16-17 years old, improving educational and social outcomes for youth ages 11-13 can mean fewer youth choosing crime as a career."
In addition to the $143,000 from the Trust, the STARS strategy is being supported by members of the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Community Safety Partners' Coalition, a community collaborative that include schools, governmental, health, and other community and service based agencies.
The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, based in Winston-Salem, was established in 1947 and is now the largest private trust in North Carolina. Its mission is to improve the quality of life and quality of health for the financially needy of North Carolina. The Health Care Division promotes wellness state-wide by investing in prevention and treatment. The Poor and Needy Division of the Trust responds to basic life needs and invests in solutions that improve the quality of life and health for financially needy residents of Forsyth County. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. serves as sole trustee.
Since its creation in 2001, the Center for Community Safety at WSSU has used scholarship and collaboration as core ingredients to obtain new knowledge, practices and skills to support positive individual, organizational and community change. The STARS program is the latest culmination of this work and is evidence of the interaction and interdependence of WSSU, community partners and individuals to help each other succeed.
For more information, contact Alvin Atkinson at (336) 750-7321 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Tesla Model S Performance Slays BMW M5 in Acceleration Test

Tesla Model S Performance (L) and BMW M5 (R)
(Source: Automobile Magazine)
Tesla's Model S is no joke
Some people have plenty of doubts about Tesla Motors and the Model S. The company is still struggling to
get production numbers up and is battling its way to profitability
. And the fact that federal money is being used to
fund a $7,500 tax credit
for the purchase of a $100,000 vehicle doesn't sit well with a lot of people.
However, there's no question that Tesla Motors has developed a remarkable car in the Model S. From its sexy exterior looks to its high-tech interior, the Model S aims to impress. And now, we're still learning that the five-door hatchback has some
serious performance credentials backing it up as well
Automobile Magazine
pitted a fresh
Model S Performance
against BMW's new F10 M5. The BMW M5 ($106,695) is powered by a twin-turbo V8 engine developing a whopping 560hp and 500 lb-ft of torque (this is backed by a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission). The Model S Performance ($102,270) has a rear-mounted motor that generates 416hp and 443 lb-ft of torque.
When the two were set on the drag strip for a 0-100 mph race, the 4,640-pound Model S Performance simply walked away from the 4,347-pound M5 off the line. This stellar performance is no doubt attributed to the electric car's instant torque that is available from 0 to 5,800 RPM.
The M5 narrowed the lead towards the end of the run, but there's no question that the Model S bested BMW's high-echelon performance sedan in this particular test. However, this is just one test, and we'd like to see a complete head-to-head comparison between the two vehicles in the usual battery of acceleration, braking, and handling metrics.
To see the Model S go up against the M5, take a look at the video below:

Finding New Fantasyland
Open previews of New Fantasyland in the Magic Kingdom continue this week, leading up to the official grand opening on December 6.
If you want to get a feel for the new expansion, Disney has launched a new mini-website called Finding Fantasyland that gives you an entertaining look at the story behind the land and its attractions. Make sure that you click the "Enter to Reveal the Story" link to get a look at some cool animation and hear the voice of David Ogden Stiers (Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast) narrating the story. Play the game to reveal each of the four symbols to watch some more animation and see images with some more points to the area's back story.
It's interesting to note that, after you lift the curse in the game to help open New Fantasyland, there's a little bit of animation that hints at the remaining major construction in the Enchanted Forest: The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
In another angle to the New Fantasyland story, the "Believe in Fantasy" promotion by Disney continues to add to the new legend of dragons at the Magic Kingdom. Last week, Gary Buchanan posted some "newly discovered" photos and video of Imagineers finding a dragon's egg and footprints while originally building the Magic Kingdom, as well as some purported video of a dragon on the loose in the city. It's an entertaining yarn, and it'll be interesting to see the payoff, when it finally happens.

Bullion's Thunder
Last week, we reported that Walt Disney Imagineering had revealed a piece of artwork that contained a clue as to one of its upcoming projects at Walt Disney World. Further, we speculated that it likely would be related to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Later that day, Disney confirmed that it would indeed be part of an enhanced interactive queue at Big Thunder.

The new back story, as reported on the Disney Parks Blog:
Barnabas T. Bullion is the founder and president of the Big Thunder Mining Company. The longtime mining magnate comes from a powerful East Coast family and considers gold to be his very birthright by virtue of his oddly appropriate name; in fact, he considers the ultimate gold strike to be his destiny. And that is why he is having so much trouble with Big Thunder Mountain. According to superstitious locals, Big Thunder Mountain is very protective of the gold it holds within, and the unfortunate soul who attempts to mine its riches is destined to fail. And so far that prophecy is coming to pass. The mine has been plagued by mysterious forces and natural disasters ever since. And yet the Big Thunder Mining Co. is still in operation. In fact, Bullion is discovering new veins of gold and digging new shafts every day, offering a closer look at the Big Thunder mining operation than ever before. But a word to the wise for anyone attempting to visit the mountain: watch out for runaway trains.
The blog is also reporting that there will be additional interactive elements coming to the queue. Work has already begun on the queue after park hours, so we'll have to wait to see when the changes become visible to the public. We're hoping that some of this will be revealed during the press event next week.

read more:http://www.miamidolphins.com/news/ar...4-b720f88a5f25Cameron Wake came to the Dolphins in 2009 as a pass-rushing specialist but has developed into an all-around force at defensive end.
He not only can rush the passer, hes become very good against the run and he also can make plays in pass coverage when called upon.
And theres still another way Wake has and continues to contribute to the success of the Dolphins _ as a mentor to the young defensive ends on the roster.
Cameron is outstanding because, one, hes a guy that doesnt say a lot all the time and when he says something they really listen, defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers said. But they can just watch him by example. This guy comes to work every day; this is a blue-collar worker. This is not a prima donna player youre talking about. Hes a self-made man, too, and he only got to where he is because of work. So they watch his work ethic, theyve got a chance to be OK.
At 31 years old and with four years of NFL experience on his resume, Wake is practically ancient when compared to his defensive end teammates. Along with Wake, the defensive ends on the roster are second-year players Olivier Vernon and Derrick Shelby, and rookies Dion Jordan, Tristan Okpalaugo and Emeka Onyenekwu.
Its quite the contrast from when Wake first joined the Dolphins as a 27-year-old in 2009 as a 3-4 outside linebacker and his position cohorts included veterans like Jason Taylor and Joey Porter.
With two Pro Bowl selections and 43 sacks in his first four seasons, which ranks fourth in the league during that span, Wake has developed into one of the best defensive ends in the NFL despite being undersized at 6-3, 250 pounds.
He has compensated with a tremendous work ethic and good technical work, making him an ideal teacher for his younger teammates. And Wake has been more than happy to help, even if he cant help but smile when he thinks of himself as a mentor.
Already, huh? Were passing the torch? Wake said. You know what? Its something that I knew was coming. It had already started previously when O.V. came in and we had three rookies in the D-line room and being a veteran, its crazy how quick it happens.

No, I won't be teaching. I just started at the University of Colorado (I moved here yesterday; classes start Monday) to study film so I can make movies that can be shot down and scrutinized online. (If by "route," you meant turning into a homicidal maniac like Anakin, I'm not planning on that, either. )
As for personal items, one of my teachers in high school brought in a group of action figures every week and put them on display. Each week had a theme - underwater (Spongebob, the Yellow Submarine, Nemo, etc.), aliens (Yoda, Toy Story alien, etc.). There was often a bit of Star Wars and it was really cool.


text: Please help me with any thoughts or ideas about kennels in mosquito prone areas. I live in South Carolina in a somewhat rural setting with woods in the backyard and a swamp in the woods. Even out in the open near the house Mosquitos (skeeters to me) are pretty bad. They number in the millions and are so big we think they are interbred with crows. (Crowsquitos) But seriously i am concerned they would torment my dogs in a kennel. I have thought of bug zappers, using K-9 Advantix, etc. What do those of you who like me live in skeeter prone areas do? As always any help is appreciated.


text: News Corp. hopes to acquire a 49 percent stake in the YES Network, the cable channel that broadcasts Yankees games and Yankee-related documentaries, the Times reports. But did you know it also broadcasts the Nets games? Murdoch could eventually take a controlling interest in the network and perhaps turn it into "a more conventional, less-biased sports network." As Murdoch nears taking control over the broadcast of our local basketball team, we wondered, just how much more of our local media does the media mogul own?

Family: Apiaceae, Carrot view all from this family
Description Introduced; noxious weed. A tree-size herbaceous plant with giant white, umbrella-shaped flower clusters; very large, lobed leaves; and hollow, hairy stems up to 4" (10 cm) in diameter.
Flowers: umbels to 30" (75 cm) wide.
Leaves: deeply divided, to 5' (1.5 m) long.
Height: 8-14' (2.4-4.2 m).
Warning Handling leaves and other plant parts can cause blisters, rash, long-term skin discoloration, and exaggerated sun-sensitivity. Children have reportedly been contaminated with the sap when employing the hollow stems as pea shooters.
Flower June-July.
Habitat Moist, rich sites; roadsides, stream banks, disturbed areas.
Range Native to the Caucasus region of Asia; introduced in the United States and escaped from cultivation in Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Washington state.
Discussion This introduced member of the carrot family looks like an outsized version of another non-native carrot, Queen Anne's Lace. Dried stems and flower skeletons persist in winter. Giant Hogweed is considered a noxious pest in a number of states; it escapes from cultivation into natural habitats and it causes unpleasant reactions if handled.


text: The heart of the city, Stare Mesto's historic buildings are splendidly preserved. The focal point is the cobbled main square, on which stand the Jan Hus Monument, the Old Town Hall and its astronomical clock, and the Gothic spires of Our Lady of Tyn. Linking the Old Town with Mala Strana is the Charles Bridge with its gallery of saintly statues.

I don't know the details either but I'd hardly make light of the considered opinion of a professional.
I don't know the details either but I'd hardly make light of the considered opinion of a professional.
I've never been to Madison, but just from the TV coverage I can see that the whole place isn't made out of marble. Signs, banners, etc were hung from the wood railings , what appeared to be wainscoting in places with varnishes and other old coatings, that I'm sure could qualify as antiques.
Much of the damage was from tape & many of the signs used painters tape, but not all. Also seems to be an interesting contrast to the general lack of damage that has been reported after Tea Party events at various locations
So what about the rest of the damage, from anything from push pins and scotch/duct tape to signs being banged on the floors and into walls? Spilled drinks and food stomped into the floors/carpets. Let's not even get into "bodily substances". You ever watch any of those shows where it costs over $5000 just to restore a stupid jukebox? Any of you ever had to refurbish a rental house after a angry tenant is evicted? Stuff ads up, fast! Now multiply that by thousands of pissed off "renters".
What I think would be funny is to actually have one of y'all bid that Capitol job at a fixed cost with your low ball estimates.
Then listen to the cries of bs when the $1 m bid climbs into overruns.

All the libs are minimizing the damage reports as if it is nothing. If it was a tea party rally and there was $5 worth of damage you guys would be the first ones screaming bloody murder about the lack of respect. But you know when the tea party rallies, they don't leave garbage behind, they pick it up. See the photos below comparing Obamas inaugarul to the tea party rally on the National Mall.

I'm trying to determine if RadMap (ASP.NET and/or Silverlight) can load custom topo into a layer from an internal map server. I was hoping to use GeoServer which supports TMS via an embedded GeoWebCache.
Could you advise me on how to accomplish my goal please?
