Often times we get so wrapped up in the where we are going that we forget about how we are getting there.
We make plans for sending our kids to college, we forget about their high school life.
We plan for jobs and adulthood, we forget about friends and living.
We work to complete the requirements for the Eagle Award, we forget about the great camp outs, the times spent with friends, and the many life lessons that are learned.
We get so wrapped up in where we are going, what our goals are that we loose focus on the beauty of the trail that we are traveling on.
This last weekend, we had a shake down back pack trip with the Troop. Nothing to hard or long, 6 miles from one campground to the next, some pretty nice climbs, and some painful down hill stretches, but the hike was nothing to go down in the backpacking hall of fame.
We started out with a goal in mind to check gear, get things tight and fitting right, and then find our way (map and compass) to the next camp site.
With this goal in mind, we set out. After the first half mile, we had made adjustments to gear, repacked two backpacks, tightened up boots, and cross leveled some gear. The new Scouts were doing great, heads down they began to climb the first ridge that would lead us to trails unknown, but in the direction we needed to venture to find our way to the Tollgate campground.
As we crested the first ridge, day light peeked from the tall pine trees. A hard trail, compass check, we were heading in the right direction.
Then no more trail… we missed the Flag Mt. Trail… or did we?
Yep.. turn around and there it was… and climb.
Climbing up the next two miles to the summit of Flag Mountain there she was, in all her beauty, Mt. Hood. A view that if you were to busy huffing and puffing, or too excited by the sight of a cozy downhill slope, you missed it. Clouds parted and there she stood, in all her splendor. I could not help but think about the first sight of the Pioneers as they gazed on the magnificent Mountain. Lewis and Clark as they first saw Mt. Hood as they came through the Gorge. These thoughts took away all the pain of the climb. I snapped a few pictures and grabbed the first two Scouts that came whizzing by ready to launch into the downhill section.
Look!!! Mt. Hood!
"Jerry, we see that mountain everyday."
Yes.. but not from Flag Mountain we don't… and then it hit me. We had focused on the destination.. and not the Journey.
We spent to much time worrying about the next camp and not the view of the trail, the mountain, the Rhododendron bushes, the smell of the pine, the rush of the river below, the snap of twigs on the trail… we missed it.
We had focused on the destination and not the Journey, and it made me think, we missed it. Are we missing it elsewhere?
Are the Scouts enjoying their Scouting experience or are they moving so quickly to Eagle that they don't remember funny stories from summer camps gone by, they don't have a nickname because they never got caught in a wierd position on a camp out singing in an outhouse or flipping over a log because their pack was to heavy.. or getting chased by racoons.
Are the Scouts learning, or just trying to pass the test?
Are we seeing the forest for the trees?
Are we missing the Journey?
It caused me to pause and appreciate what we have, it was a time to focus on the Journey.
Saturday night in camp, we reflected on the day. I asked about the trek, the moments on the trail. What had the Scouts seen, heard, and remembered from the day?
What did they get out of the Journey? A campsite?
We reflected.
Reflect on your Troops Journey, your personal Journey. Enjoy the Journey, it will make the Destination all that much better.
Have a Great Scouting Day!

Our money back! Seems they provided disaster aid to a bunch of folks ineligible. My question - why are we giving people money for being stupid?
If you live in a flood plain expect to be flooded, if you live where other natural disasters occur, expect that. Why is the government in the business of using our pockets to covers other's choices?

For only the fourth time since 1970, the Stanford football team is Rose Bowl-bound. Jim Plunkett and Todd Husak quarterbacked their respective teams in Pasadena --Plunkett in 1971 and Husak in 2000 -- and have unique perspectives on the game, the atmosphere and the similarities between their clubs and the current Cardinal squad.

Jim has a poor memory for details. He neglected to mention any of the black members of both Rose Bowl bound Stanford teams. What about Benny Barnes who went on to play for the Cowboys? Jimbo, you failed to mention Jackie Brown, Hillary Shockley, Arthur Smiley, Efton Hall, Demea Washigton, and Reg Sanderson. Sanderson was recently mention during the UCLA v Stanford game for his outstanding play in 1972 Rose Bowl game. Jim, I am ashamed at you & for you. Such oversight shows poor memory or ??????

In Search Of...The La Crosse Blue Stars
The Drum and Bugle Corps 2012 Season is Underway
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- The annual march is on. "We like to consider ourselves a professional league of marching band."
The Blue Stars Drum and Bugle corp is polishing and perfecting this years performance. And that means hard work and long hours for the 150 members of the corps. "That's 80 brass. 36 color guard. 3 drum majors. 33 percussionists. This year we auditioned about 550 people for the 150 spots in the group."
These 16 to 21-years-olds come from all over the nation and in some cases the world. " We have members from both coasts and every place in between. And we also have five international members this year."
But making the cut takes more than just talent. "Being in drum corps, it's a difficult lifestyle for some people. This is an intense activity."
"They're basically running and blowing air through instruments and dancing for an extended period of time and that's a level of exertion that most of them do not know before they get here. Will they be able to emotionally and physically be able to handle the rigors of what we're trying to do here?"
"To be a Blue Star, you have to be willing to go through the extra mile. To push past the fatigue even though it may seem hard."
"We go pretty much non stop through the summer. We're talking 80 days. 14 hours of rehearsal. A lot of energy. A lot of intensity."15504220
"All drum corps all the time."
"You do get really tired. It's really exhausting."
"Everyone has passed their breaking point. They've broken down in order to get better. You have to give 110% every time."
"It's quite a challenge to get the show to the level of excellence that we demand of them."
This year's performance is called 'Blue World.' "It paints the picture of sea life."
"We have a part about sailors going off. We have a section about tropical fish."
"We have a portion called predator. We conclude with finding a hidden treasure."
All season long they work to fine tune every movement - every note. "You have to rep one little segment over and over and over again."
"Some times it feels like monotony doing the same thing. Breaking it down slower and then speeding it up."
"But once actually hear what you're getting out of it and what you're feeling out of it, it's totally worth it."
"When the crowd's there. Uniforms on. Everybody's really ready to go." "You're sitting there and your arms feel like they're going to fall off. But then you hear the crowd just roaring. It's something you experience no where else and it's amazing."
"The end is very gratifying to see all the hard work pay off. It's quite addicting to be a part of."
"I'm really excited. I'm really proud of what we've got so far ans it's completely different than anything I've ever done with the Blue Stars. And I'm excited to show everybody what we have. It's gonna be a great season."

We started agility not all that long ago just as a means to keep him in shape over the winters, and found out that it's a blast!
This weekend at a 3 day trial my monster boy got 2 QQ's and 1 single Q to finish his MJP title (Master Jumpers Preferred). *Sort of* the equivalent of MH in a loose way, you need 10 passes (Q's) to get the title. With an overall Q rate of about 20-25%, it's not as easy as it sounds.
He went from nothing to the Master title in just 15 weekends.
We need 2 more Q's for the Master Standard title.
What a weekend.

Hello everyone,
I was just wondering the normal number of series for Parvo/puppy shots.
In the past we have used one vet for all 7 dogs and the series has always been 3 shots.
We are using a different vet this time and they have a series of 4 shots. Our old vet said they are the same vaccines, with the fourth being a booster that is not really necessary.
I was just wondering what anybody else has seen for your pups.

For extra richness and sweetness, tender carrot cake is topped with creamy, ready-to-spread frosting and drizzled with caramel topping.
Forget the frosting! You can use an 8-oz container of frozen whipped topping, thawed, instead.
Some caramel toppings are thicker and stickier than others. If the type you purchased is too thick to pour, warm it in the microwave just until it can be poured.
This ooey-gooey, very rich cake needs to be joined by only a glass of milk or a cup of steaming coffee.

Madison mayor outlines budget plan
Budget increases property tax $47 on average home
MADISON, Wis. - Madison Mayor Paul Soglin on Tuesday outlined his budget plans for the upcoming year, and like the Dane County executive's budget numbers released Monday, Soglin faces state tax levy limits as well.
The mayor laid out his plans Tuesday afternoon, saying the continuing state limits challenge the city's ability to maintain basic services, strengthen neighborhoods and provide public safety.
While the city is required to hold the levy increase to 0.7 percent, the property tax increase in Soglin's budget amounts to $47 for the average home.
Soglin said 75 percent of the city's budget comes from those property taxes, the highest for any municipality he knows of. And the mayor pointed the finger at what he calls "continuing inequities" of state shared revenue distribution, leaving Madison with an unfair disadvantage
"All of (the city services) take investment," Soglin said. "And with a few million dollars here and a few million dollars there, we could do a lot more of that and really change the city in a glorious manner. That's the frustrating part because we know what needs to be done."
Some key changes in the budget included an increase in the ambulance fee from $600 to $900 and a Metro bus fare hike from $2 to $2.25.16833862
The budget also reflects an effort to attract new businesses, specifically in developing the tourist market and highlighting Madison's music scene.
Soglin's budget will go before the Madison Common Council for final approval in the coming weeks.

This trail explores a karst landscape unique in Europe, featuring caves, disappearing streams, conical hills, crags and white cliffs, all formed from the southern Harz's distinctive rock – gypsum.
The Karst Walking Trail snakes its way through a fascinating region of high biodiversity: this small, intricate network of habitats in the southern Harz is home to a variety of rare and heavily protected species of flora and fauna. However, it is the karst landscape – formed from sulphate rock (gypsum and anhydrite) – that makes the southern Harz region particularly special. These rocks dissolve especially quickly, and are carried away by the water from the karst springs.
The Rhume spring (62 million cubic metres) alone accounts for 40,000 tonnes of gypsum and 17,000 tonnes of limestone leaving the southern Harz every year, along the Weser and into the North Sea. This gives rise to countless deep hollows (10-200m), many of which collapse as they eventually grow too large, forming sinkholes on the surface. The result is a varied and unusual landscape that everyone can enjoy on the karst walking trail. Highlights include Heimkehle Cave and Barbarossa's Cave, the Juessee lake and 'Swimming Island' sinkholes and the moor landscape of Teufelsbäder ('devil's baths').
Disappearing rivers and streams such as those in the Bauerngraben nature reserve or the Sieber river are typical of karst landscapes, as are the many gypsum cliffs.
Tip: Heimkehle show cave
At two kilometres in length, the Heimkehle cave is one of the biggest in the southern Harz and 700 metres of it are open to the public. In winter, the cave is home to many bats, and in August and September you can often see them flying around.

A report from the scene says it was a two vehicle accident with one person being airlifted to a hospital. No official details were immediately available.
Traffic is moving again as of 9:35 a.m.

Credit: The Associated Press
GREEN BAY, Wis. - It's sounds like such a cliche when the 49ers and Packers say they're "different" teams from their season-opening matchup.
Of course they are. They've each played 15 games since that 34-28 win by the host 49ers. Players have come and gone. Playbooks have been expanded and refined.
Offensively, the 49ers have a better passing threat, the Packers an improved rushing attack. Defensively, they've remained steady, which is good for the 49ers but not so good for the generous Packers.
The most obvious change in this rematch: It won't be 69 degrees at kickoff like it was Sept. 8. Instead, it might be minus-6.9 degrees.
Probably the 49ers' biggest change, as wideout Anquan Boldin noted, is they have "guys back." None is more pertinent than wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who was halfway through his Achilles rehabilitation when the 49ers beat the Packers on Sept. 8.
Crabtree has helped spark a passing attack that seemed quite capable without him in the opener, when Colin Kaepernick passed for 412 yards and three touchdowns.
But the 49ers offense reverted to its run-oriented roots once the Packers left Candlestick. While Frank Gore ran for only 44 yards on 21 carries in the opener, he responded with one of his best seasons (1,128 yards, nine touchdowns). That compensated for Kaepernick's growing pains amid a deficient receiving corps.
Kaepernick won't have to worry about one thing in this rematch: Clay Matthews tackling him out of bounds and igniting another sideline scrum. The Packers outside linebacker is out because of thumb surgery, and he's replaced by Andy Mulumba.
Defensively, the 49ers haven't strayed from their scheme that relies on a four-man rush rather than blitzes. But the secondary will have a different look for this rematch, regardless of whether Carlos Rogers plays or not with a tender hamstring.
Nnamdi Asomugha served as the 49ers' No. 3 cornerback that game. Now, Asomugha is retired, and Tramaine Brock has gone from the nickel back to the starting right cornerback. Eric Wright also has entered the mix.
"Personnel has changed only slightly, with Brock playing now instead of Nnamdi in Week 1, but they're one of the top defenses in the league," Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers said.
The Packers' offense remains one of the most potent, averaging 400.3 yards per game (third best in the league) even though Rodgers and wideout Randall Cobb each missed nearly two months before returning in last Sunday's win at Chicago.
While Rodgers (collar bone) and Cobb (right leg) healed from their fractures, the Packers developed a running threat in rookie Eddie Lacy, who ran for 1,178 yards and 11 touchdowns. In his NFL debut against the 49ers, Lacy gained only 1 yard on four carries in the first quarter, he lost a second-quarter fumble and finished with 41 rushing yards.
"Their running game has picked up," the 49ers' Rogers said. "Before, they didn't really have a running game, so we focused more on the pass. Now you have to focus on Lacy back there."
Packers coach Mike McCarthy said his offense, like any, benefits from a true rushing threat.
"Aaron's set a high level last couple years in passing game," McCarthy said. "This is what we needed to do. It gives us more balance and the ability to play with our whole playbook on offense."
The Packers' defense hasn't changed too much in terms of its generosity since Week 1, when it yielded 494 total yards. Green Bay allowed 21.2 points per game through the first six games, then 30.1 over the last 10 games.
"I just think we have to learn from the first game," safety Morgan Burnett told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. "Our team is different from the first game. We've grown, we've gotten better."
The most obvious difference from Week 1 of the regular season to Week 1 of the postseason: the venue.
True, the 49ers opened the 2012 season with a 30-22 win in Green Bay, but that ended a streak of eight straight losses there and marked their first since 1990. The 49ers now go in search of their first-ever playoff win at Lambeau Field.

Spaniel tests have a bird planter out in front of the working dog a few hundred yards planting as the test progresses. He monitors by radio as the marshall narrates the action. If he hears that the dogs are trapping birds (catching them on the ground), he adjusts the way he's planting. If the dog is hunting a long way down the course w/ out finding a bird, he will put them down harder. You usually have to adjust as conditions change so you need to know several different ways to plant a pheasant.
The idea of using a launcher or cage for evaluating a hunting dog ludicrous .
"The bird hunter watches only the dog, and always knows where the dog is, whether or not visible at the moment. The dog nose is the bird hunters eye. Many hunters who carry a shotgun in season have never learned to watch the dog, or interpret his reaction to scent."

I should qualify that. The dead bird walk-up/honor was launched from a winger.

In "Decision Time," Editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 20-plus years hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, then see how things actually turned out.
Roundup at Rope Ridge
After two days of getting drubbed, I was finally in the game at my old Wisconsin stomping grounds.
A pair of longbeards had flown off the roost 150 yards away and were gobbling themselves hoarse at a nearby field edge. Sure, they had hens with them, but it was quite a show. Meanwhile, a turkey that had roosted 200-plus yards to the west hit the ground and squeaked out one timid gobble. Heck, there was even a bird lighting it up on the ridge behind me. I was surrounded.
But after a while, that didn't seem to be enough. The henned-up birds at the field edge in front of me continued to hammer every call I made, but they'd probably only moved 10 steps in an hour. The timid-sounding bird on my ridge had shut up, which probably indicated that he was coming or ... well, that he'd shut up. And the gobbler on the ridge behind me seemed like he was heading west off the property.
Of course, I wanted to kill one of the vocal turkeys at the field edge, but that was the problem. I was on the ridge, and they were on a field edge, with little but air between us. I figured I could slip 20 to 40 yards closer without being busted -- at best. The timid gobbler offered a nice option, but I had no idea where he was. And the back-ridge gobbler was going away, so he was pretty much off the board.
How did I go from being surrounded to being stumped? And, more important, how could I save my hunt?
What would you have done? Post your decision below.

PLUS Program Professional Staff
The foundation upon which the PLUS Program is built is its professional staff. Learning Consultants are selected for their academic preparation across the various subdisciplines and for their ability to work in a directive fashion in both one-on-one and small-group sessions. PLUS Program learning consultants have the greatest impact on enabling students to enjoy academic success by providing academic support and content-based learning strategies instruction.
PLUS staff members regularly participate in in-service educational opportunities directed toward enhancing effectiveness in learning strategies instruction and increasing understanding of the needs of the disabled University student.
Each learning consultant is assigned primary responsibility for approximately ten students, for whom they make regular faculty contacts, and parent contacts when indicated. Upper class students are assigned a primary learning consultant on the basis of their major, and also receive support in elective courses from other content specialists.
PLUS Program students, like non-PLUS students, are provided with academic advising. During the first year at Muskingum, advising is done by the faculty member with whom each student takes the First-Year Seminar course. As students declare academic majors, they select an advisor in that department and PLUS Program staff continue to serve as Program advisors only. Learning consultants guide students in determining how many credit hours to take and in considering their best options in selecting a major. Some PLUS students may be advised to reconsider their intention of pursuing an academic major that requires special licensing and certification requirements or proficiency on basic skills tests. Because some learning problems significantly affect basic skill proficiency (required by the Ohio State Department of Education for selection into teacher certification programs), teacher certification is limited to those disabled students who meet such standards. [Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 suggests that "it is discriminatory to restrict the range of career options in counseling learning disabled students as compared to non-disabled students with similar interests and abilities unless such counsel is based on strict licensing or certification requirements in a profession that may comprise an obstacle" (Vogel, 1985).]
For Muskingum University and PLUS Program admission materials, or for more information about admission into the PLUS Program, please contact our office by phone at 740-826-8280, by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, or by mail at Walter Hall, Muskingum University, New Concord, Ohio 43762-1199.

A glucagon test measures the amount of a hormone called glucagon in your blood. Glucagon is produced by cells in the pancreas. It helps control blood sugar levels.
Blood is typically drawn from a vein, usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
In infants or young children, a sharp tool called a lancet may be used to puncture the skin to draw blood. The blood collects into a small glass tube called a pipette, or onto a slide or test strip. A bandage may be placed over the area if there is any bleeding.
The blood is sent to a laboratory. There, a test called radioimmunoassay (RIA) is used to check for the hormone glucagon in the blood.
Your health care provider will tell you if you need to fast (not eat anything) for a period of time before the test.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Glucagon stimulates the liver to release glucose. As the level of blood sugar decreases, the pancreas releases more glucagon, and vice versa.
The health care provider may measure glucagon level if a person has symptoms of:
The normal range is 50 - 100 pg/mL.
Note: pg/mL = picograms per milliliter
Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.
Abnormal results may indicate that the person may have a condition described above under Why the Test Is Performed.
Veins vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

WQ218, New May 1994
Applying manure fertilizer to land but still protecting water resources is an old and proven practice. However, as the operation size increases, the environmental impact of waste application becomes more apparent.
It is critical to properly manage the manure application process. Applying too much manure can lead to runoff. It can also lead to lower crop yields or a buildup of nutrients in the soil that may seep into the groundwater.
A good system of record keeping can help assure that land application of manure efficiently uses the manure's fertilizer nutrients while protecting groundwater and surface water. Also, good records are evidence of good management. They will show you are complying with regulations, if any litigation involving the waste management system occurs.
Also, the intensive management approach to sizing the soil/plant filter or waste-receiving area for the Department of Natural Resources' (DNR) letter of approval requires keeping certain records and data.
In some cases, the producer does not own enough land to receive the waste generated. If some or all of the manure produced is spread on land not owned, a legally binding agreement must be made with the landowner. A form (M121-F, Spreading Agreement) is available from DNR outlining the necessary requirements.
In some cases it may not be feasible to work out an agreement with a single neighbor or landowner, especially if there is an active market for manure. In such cases, DNR may accept an accurate set of spreading records instead of a spreading agreement.
Data to consider in record keeping depends upon your detail and goals. You need this basic data to include manure in your crop fertility program and satisfy DNR requirements for record keeping.
This may be an item that does not change from year to year. There may already be an adequate identification system in place for other purposes, such as conservation compliance and cost share practices.
If you already have a field numbering system with your conservation plan, use that system. Some portions of a given field identified to receive wastes may not be covered by the waste application equipment being used. This is true of irrigation systems on irregularly shaped fields. So, field identification should include a layout of the actual area within the field that receives livestock wastes.
Since many items, such as crops grown, yield records and manure applied, change from year to year, it is important that these items be recorded annually. Past experiences can be a basis for present and future decisions.
The type of crop grown on a waste-receiving area provides a basis for estimating needs. Record fertilizer nutrients, manure application and subsequent nutrient availability such as occurs when nitrogen is available following a legume crop. Planting and harvesting dates should be noted, also.
Crop yield, or amount removed from the field, is very important in developing a fertility program and nutrient application strategies. Yield directly influences the amount of nutrients removed from a field, which influences the amount of nutrients needed for the next crop.
Measure small grain yields in bushels per acre, while forage crops (hay, silage, etc.) are measured as tons per acre. Also record if no plant material is removed from the waste-receiving area. Pasture yields may be best described by the annual animal unit days the pasture is being grazed.
Soil tests provide a measure of nutrients available in the soil. The test will estimate additional nutrients needed for your yield goals, whether from manure or commercial fertilizer. Soil tests will show if any nutrient is building up in the soil from over-application.
If manure and commercial fertilizer are both being used, record the amount and blend of the commercial fertilizer.
Record the manure fertilizer nutrients applied, the dates applied and the lab analysis. Lab analysis should include total nitrogen, ammonia nitrogen, phosphorus (or P2O).
The volume or weight of manure applied depends upon the type, such as solid, slurry or lagoon.
Solid manure, such as poultry litter and manure/bedding mixtures, are handled with mechanical spreaders. The amount of manure is described as pounds per load or tons per acre.
Slurry manure, manure collected in a tank or pit usually with some water added, is handled with tank wagons. The amount of manure is described as gallons per load or gallons per acre.
Lagoon effluent, manure collected in an open pond with significant amounts of dilution water from rainfall and runoff, is handled with irrigation equipment. The amount is described by volume in acre-inches or total depth of application in inches.
Application methods, such as surface broadcast, injected, incorporated after spreading, or irrigated, are important because of the potential for field losses of nitrogen. Manure that is high in ammonia nitrogen and is surface spread without incorporation will lose a significant amount of the ammonia nitrogen through volatilization.
Record if you sold the manure for fertilizer, as is a common practice with poultry litter. The record should include the amount sold, location and number of acres on which the manure will be spread, covercrop on the receiving area, date of application and the purchaser's name.
DNR will accept these records instead of a formal spreading agreement when another person's property is used for land applying manure. It is the responsibility of the seller to advise the purchaser of nutrient levels in the manure and of the proper methods of handling and spreading the manure so that pollution does not occur. If pollution occurs from the purchaser's negligent handling and management of the manure, the seller can be held partially responsible.
If there is potential for odor complaints or of runoff, record the soil and weather conditions at the time of spreading. This may be helpful, should problems develop. Soil conditions might be described by the estimated percent moisture condition or by the amount of rainfall the area has experienced recently. Also, include temperature, wind direction and speed.
The example is a worksheet that might be used for manure spreading records. Not every item in the worksheet will be filled out for each operation.

Today was the first day of my Michigan Spring Turkey Season Tag. I decided to head out to a buddies farm in southern Michigan and see if I could get on a bird. I arrived at 0530 and thought I might be a bit late as it was already getting light. As I approached the back field I heard a tom sound off just inside the woods. I slipped in found a nice tree and sat down. As I was sitting there 4 more toms sounded off around me. Man the thunder was really rolling this morning in the Michigan woods ! The first one was closest and man he seemed hot. Gobbling at everything from geese to storks. At about 0600 I let out a few soft tree calls and bang cut off. I waited until I figured he was down on the ground and then threw out a few kee kees and yelps, bang cut off again and he is coming my way. I sat back and waited. At about 0630 I saw the top of a full fan just over the ridge about 40 yards out in front of me. I clucked a few times and he slowly walked out into the open. He was going in and out of strut and spitting and drumming. Man what a pretty sight. Every time I see one of these birds in the wild I am amazed that such a beautiful bird is out there roaming our woods. At 15 yards I dropped the hammer and he went down hard. Yee !! Haw !! # 9 hits the dirt. He was maybe a 3 year old with just over 7/8" spurs , 8 3/4" beard and weighed just under 18 pounds. Just like that the Michigan season is done. Probably one if not the shortest hunt I have ever had.
Lucky Hat !!
Good luck to all that are still out there. I only have 2 tags left myself.

Karlan to discuss constitutional law, Feb. 28
Posted February 22, 2002; 10:53 a.m.
Strategies in Constitutional Law: Lessons for Getting 'The Least Dangerous Branch' Out of the 'Political Thicket'" is the topic of a lecture to be presented at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28, in 104 Computer Science Building.
Pamela Karlan, the Kenneth and Harle Montgomery Professor of Public Interest Law at Stanford University , will deliver the James Moffett '29 Lecture in Ethics. A reception in the lobby will follow.
Karlan teaches courses on civil rights, political participation and civil procedure. She clerked for Justice Harry Blackmun at the U.S. Supreme Court from 1985-86 and served as assistant counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund from 1986-88.
Karlan has conducted extensive pro bono litigation on behalf of civil rights and civil liberties groups, associations of black elected officials and reproductive rights groups in the U.S. Supreme Court and other federal and state courts. During the 2000 presidential election crisis, she appeared frequently on television, explaining election law and the political process on "Nightline," "News Hour with Jim Lehrer" and "Good Morning America." Recent publications she has co-written include "When Elections Go Bad: The Law of Democracy and the Presidential Election of 2000" and "Civil Rights Actions: Enforcing the Constitution."
The Moffett Lectures are offered by the University Center for Human Values .

Salinas Valley Memorial Healthcare System has offered minimally invasive surgery options using the state-of-the-art da Vinci® Surgical System since October 2008. This technology enhances the ability of surgeons on our medical staff to perform minimally invasive procedures. Studies show that patients whose surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques often require a shorter hospital stay, have a reduced risk of infection, less blood loss, and a quicker recovery and return to daily activities.
The robotic surgery system offers doctors several advantages in performing minimally invasive surgeries. First, the system uses two cameras rather than one as with laparoscopy (using a scope and a single camera), giving surgeons a three-dimensional view of the area being operated on. Second, it magnifies the area by ten times as opposed to two-and-a-half times with the traditional camera. Third, the arms of robot feature hinges that are close to the tips of surgical instruments enabling it to rotate completely, unlike a human wrist which can only turn so far.
Using the da Vinci Surgical System, one surgeon performs the operation while seated at a console viewing a three-dimensional image of the area. The surgeon moves themaster controls and the system seamlessly translates the surgeon's hand, wrist and finger movements into precise, real-time movements of surgical instruments inside the patient. A second surgeon monitors the patient during the entire procedure and is prepared to assist manually whenever needed.
At Salinas Valley Memorial, the robotic system is used in gynecology and urology procedures as well as oncology and general surgeries.

The news is littered with stories of enterprises that have suffered costly downtime and damaging lawsuits as a result of security breaches. Even high-profile names such as LinkedIn, Sony, and RSA are not immune. Lack of security is costly, but how much should an organisation spend to address their security issues?
When it comes to security, you spend money to lower risk - much like spending money on the legal department to reduce your liability.
But installing a security solution does not guarantee protection against a breach. With the new breed of next-gen firewalls, the problem becomes more complicated. Testing is the key to effective security. But inadequate testing creates a false sense of security.
This paper describes how a test platform that uses industry best practices, with the power to create realistic tests, allows organisations to test and deploy security solutions with confidence.

That doesn't work, pin 3 just needs pulling low to turn on the RF LED on the front panel of the Tx (a 1k resistor works fine).For example, OpenLRS controls pin3 via Arduino and code.I can use a 10k pullup resistor between pin1 (PPM) and pin2 (Tx battery voltage) and get around 10v PPM - waaay too much!I think I'll try a pullup resistor between PPM and the 3.3v onboard regulator of my ghetto module.Any other ideas? (other than using the trainer port, which is not an option for module useage).Nigel.

Example of non-cheesy/horrible Scorpions? I haven't heard one yet.
Pandora doesn't have much of the later Miles stuff in my station, I'm tempted to add a second station based around something like Big Fun, but I suspect any derivatives it produces from that seed will be unbearable - it's very hard to find stuff like that which works for me, like Coltrane's Interstellar Space, I know it's well-liked but to me almost all of it is nails on chalkboard.

I am in a pickle, and I would like to know what you would do in my situation and why.
I have to pick a puppy out of a litter, and the pup with the best personality, spunk and confidence has white on her feet, chin, chest and nose. The pigment on her nose is speckled pink and black instead of all black like her litter mates. There are 2 other pups with the personality traits that I am looking for, but not as much as this girl. The other pups have beautiful color.
I really don't want to turn down a pup because of it's appearance, but there is still part of me that likes the color of the other two pups!
I will work on attaching photos of these pups in a bit.

Haven't heard of Gods Behaving Badly? It's okay; we hadn't either, until recently. The upcoming film, based on the novel of the same name, follows the ancient Greek gods, who, it turns out, are not only alive and well but managing a brownstone in New York. Last week, casting was announced, and believe you me, it looks like it's going to be hilarious. Oliver Platt as Apollo? Win! Edie Falco as Artemis? Sold! John Turturro as Hades? On par with James Woods! Christopher Walken as Zeus? PERFECT. We've walked you through the actors who have played the Devil before; so now, in honor of Gods Behaving Badly, we bring 14 actors who have all played gods, ranging from Greek to Norse to Christian to fantasy deities. Time to get smiting! More

Press Release: January 2009
Just over one week to go to see the acclaimed Finnish exhibition in the Millennium Wing of the National Gallery of Ireland, Northern Stars and Southern Lights before it closes on Sunday 1st February 2009 (last admission is 4.10pm Sunday). Audio guide free with ticket admission.
The exhibition, which comprises 74 paintings and drawings, explores the highpoint of Finnish painting, also known as the 'Golden Age of Finnish Art', when the country was still a Grand Duchy of Russia. In particular, it includes examples of naturalism in Finnish art, epic landscapes and scenes of everyday life, as well as vivid images inspired by national legends and myths with an emphasis on Finland's national epic, the Kalevala. The exhibition also shows paintings of Early Modernism and the 1900 World Fair in Paris, where Finland had its own pavilion.
It is the first time an exhibition on this scale has been seen in Ireland, and Dublin's National Gallery is the only venue. Tickets for the Finnish show may be purchased on the day or in advance, telephone direct (01) 663 3513.
Raymond Keaveney, Director of the National Gallery of Ireland, says that since it opened last November, the Finnish show has attracted a tremendous response from members of both the public and the media who have been pleasantly surprised and impressed on seeing some of the finest examples of Finnish painting, the majority of which have been drawn from the Ateneum Art Museum in Helsinki as well as other private and public collections. He adds: "The National Gallery of Ireland invests significant resources in its exhibitions programme to do justice to the expectations of its public who have a right to expect world-class shows from their national cultural institutions."
"Beautiful panels and arrangement"
"One of the best I've seen in the Millennium Wing"
"Really delightful! I have to come back again"
"Way beyond expectation - absolutely excellent."
"Stunning"… "Superb…. "Really enjoyed the Myth and Legend Room. Very interesting visually, but also historically."
"It's my third time at the exhibition and I will come back."
"Wonderful exhibition"…"Breathtaking"…."Gorgeous"…."Uplifting"…
"The audio guide was very informative."…"Gorgeous exhibition. I'll definitely come back to see it again."
"Visiting Dublin for the weekend and just happened upon the exhibition - charmed by it."
The Finnish show is just one of the many exhibitions currently on show at the National Gallery. On view in the Beit Wing until 15th February is 'Hugh Douglas Hamilton: A Life in Pictures' (admission free), while the Turner watercolours exhibition and McNeill Bequest of Miniatures continues in the Print Gallery until 31st January (admission free).
Looking ahead to exhibitions opening in February and March, visitors can expect two exceptional shows: 'Vermeer, Fabritius and De Hooch: Three Masterpieces from Delft', which goes on display from 14th February to 24th May. This in-focus show will have on loan two wonderful paintings: 'The Goldfinch' (1654), by Carel Fabritius (1622-54) from The Mauritshuis, and 'The Courtyard of a House in Delft' (1658) by Pieter de Hooch (1629-84) from The National Gallery, London.
On 28th March, the National Gallery will open an exhibition of over 50 works dedicated to Waterford-born artist, Thomas Roberts (1748-1777), considered the finest Irish landscape painter of the eighteenth century who died at the young age of 29.

Tanzanian authorities ban weekly indefinitely
Nairobi, July 30, 2012--The Tanzanian government today banned indefinitely the critical Swahili-language weekly MwanaHalisi, accusing the paper of publishing seditious articles, according to local journalists and a statement by the information ministry.
The ministry claimed that MwanaHalisi's four July editions contained seditious and false material but did not specify particular articles. Under the 1976 Newspaper Act, Tanzanian authorities can suspend a newspaper at will if they deem that it has "seditious intent," according to CPJ research. MwanaHalisi Chief Editor Jabir Idrissa told CPJ that the paper is considering filing an appeal.

The styling of the 2010 Mazda 3 has proven controversial. The styling on the 2010 Mazdaspeed model may be more polarizing still. What's your take? Love it, or hate it?
If it's as much fun as the last car, I love it already.
I'm with you, Phil. I drove an 08, and was hooked. Of course, I currently drive an '03 Protege5, so you don't have to do much to convince me of Mazda's goodness. In terms of the styling, admittedly, it's pretty radical for its class, and from some angles, it looks disturbingly like the new Toyota Matrix, but if you look closer, the surface detailing really sets it apart. I thought I'd have to wait 'til 2012 or 2013 for this model, but I'm thrilled it's going to be offered as a 2010!
To paraphrase a colleague of mine, it's the best looking Peugeot I've ever seen. I care more about the drive, for as you've mentioned, the last car was a blast. I'm wondering if it's but a mere facelift, though - Mazda's said the 2.3-liter turbo I-4 carries over from the last car, in contrast to early rumors suggesting it'd use a 2.5-liter mill.Not that the 2.3 isn't powerful, mind you. I just like to justify the addition of (faux?) forced induction scoops...
I've heard a few different reports in terms of the engine for the U.S.-spec model. I read somewhere the European model will have the 2.3, whereas the USDM model will have a 2.5. Honestly, either way, I'd be happy. The 2.3 turbo definitely doesn't have a shortage of power, and I'm sure either way, there will be a slight power boost over the current model. The hood scoop is definitely function, as all the Mazda turbos have a top-mount intercooler, similar to Subaru. I actually kind of dig the aggressive edge it adds to the styling. At least it doesn't have any stupid, non-functional fender vents!

Can I make the dough two days prior to cooking? Would I just store the ready-to-boil gnocchi in the refrigerator?
I'm not sure what I did wrong, but the dough was way too sticky and very hard to handle, my gnocchi wasn't well shaped as a result. Then when I put it in the water to boil, they half disintegrated. At least they tasted OK.
My first attempt at making gnocchi and it was a success! Easy to follow recipe, simple ingredients - I drained the ricotta for a few hours beforehand and the consistency of the dough was perfect. The gnocchi plump up when you cook them so make them a little smaller...I mistakenly made them to the size I wanted to eat so they cooked up a little big. As other reviews mentioned, they were very light and the parmesan added a nice subtle flavor. Served with braised, slow-cooked short ribs (skipped the sauce). Next time I will freeze for 30 min prior to cooking as recommended in the reviews - they were a little sticky to work with.
These gnocchi are delicious. They are light and easy to make. I added all the parmesan cheese to the base recipe and found it helped the consistency. The dough was easy to work with after chilling.
These were UNBELIEVABLE. Made them with fresh, small batch ricotta I bought at whole foods. Added a little extra parmesan as well. They turned out so soft and pillowy I almost never want to attempt potato gnocchi again. Served them once with homemade tomato sauce and caprese chicken and another time with Brussels sprouts, mushrooms and brown butter. I always make extra because they freeze very nicely. Place them in freezer on sheet tray until just firm then transfer to a ziplock bag. They keep well for up to 2 months. Also made a gluten free version with the King Arthur GF all purpose. Don't love the blend as I'm not a huge fan of the bean flours but my GF guests loved them.
Wow! Thanks to other reviewers I drained my ricotta for a few hours in the fridge over a strainer prior to working with it. I think that made a huge difference. I also added the grated zest of 1 meyer lemon and about 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for flavor. The dough was easy to work with (not at all sticky) and didn't require any extra flour. I pan fried rather than boiled and served with a simple sauce of clarified butter, olive oil, meyer lemon, and parsley. Beautiful and delicious.
This is easy, quick and good! Drained the ricotta for a few hours because I had time. Refrigerated gnocchi while I boiled cooking water. Served with a light chunky tomato sausage sauce..awesome!
Definitely easy to make and I followed the recipe, except I used skim ricotta (the result was fine). I found that this gnocchi was not as light as traditional potato gnocchi, but thats not a bad thing. I flash froze 2/3 of the gnocchi and then put them in a freezer bag. The one's I cooked came out great, nothing fell apart during the boiling. Next time I'm going to use a sage butter sauce.
Sooo good. I put the gnocchi in the freezer for about half an hour following the other reviewers' advice, and then lightly browned them in the brown butter sauce (instead of just mixing). They held up well during the boiling, but broke up a bit when I tried to mix them--still delicious though!
These were soooo good. I admit, we were concerned that they'd be bland or disintegrate at any stage of cooking. But all was perfect. Details - for some reason, our grocery store only sells 15 ounce tubs of ricotta, but that wasn't a problem. We drained it as others suggested but used the listed quantities of everything else. It was incredibly wet. Piping it may work, but I just patted in into messy logs on flour-lined parchment and then chilled till it was firm enough to cut (we used a knife and it was no problem). We cooked half right away and froze the other half. We bruised the rosemary leaves before browning it with the butter and added a couple of garlic cloves. We only drained the gnocchi for a minute in the colander before tossing it with the butter and rosemary and garlic. Don't forget the salt, pepper and parmesan. Perfect.

Earl Morrall was the pride of Muskegon Michigan
not a big deal to most people but every day I drive past Morrall Drive, which runs perpendicular to his high school's football field, Hackley Stadium, the home of the 2008 state champion Muskegon Big Reds
that he also played for Michigan State and the Baltimore Colts is something I overlook since he started and ended well
I've got to add my 2 cents worth here as I've been a fin fan since 1971. Although I've never seen them live as I live in van, canada I have watched them since '71 on tv everytime they are on and they were featured a lot back then.
A couple of players that need more of a mention are Bob Griese and Paul Warfield. Griese was a genius on the field, not a great arm and not big, but maybe the smartest qb up until then. He always seemed to come up with the right play for the situation and he called his own plays. He was the best ball handler I've ever seen, when he ran that misdirection with Csonka you didn't know where the ball was. When he did throw the ball it was right on the money.
As far as Warfield goes, his routes were like a hot knife thru butter and his hands were made of velvet, smooth, smooth. He would have been talked about a lot more if they threw the ball more but they were a running team primarily.
Another guy I'd like to mention is Howard Twilley,he was wr opposite Warfield, a little guy with a funny name and no speed but his route runing was impeccable and I don't remember him ever dropping a pass. A very uinderappreciated part of the puzzle.
Would like too add my thoughts about Greise if I may. He was very good at the hard count when we needed a off sides penalty. Very smart management and a team leader as opposed too Marino. Czonka was unstoppable.
Csonka was a beast. He's actually the reason I started being a fan of Miami. The way he would bull through the line with lineman just hanging on to him...Unstoppable
This thread brings two things to mind: First is that after the late 70's I think of how the franchise kind of sputtered to keep the luster. Thats when the Steelers dynasty was rolling. The Dolphins under Shula were always a smart tough out though. The eighties teams over achieved and there were some decent seasons in there but my second point is I have never been as attached and into the team since the 70's until this team. Post Cam Cameron, Tony Sparanos team is the team since way back in the 70's that I like the most. I loved the first 10 years or so of the Marino era because he was so obviously special but in retrospect it was like watching Lebron James try to win with the Cavs because they never surrounded Dan with quite enough. Something about this 2008 to right now team just about equals the most faith I have ever had as a Dolphin fan since '71 and I have followed them all the way.

Get Pumped for Daniel Ghita Fighting This Weekend
- Written by Dave Walsh
Face facts, there are very few Heavyweight Kickboxers that have captivated audiences like Daniel Ghita has in the past two years. Ghita burst onto the K-1 scene in 2009 when he won the Final 16 Qualifying GP, defeating John Love, Yuki and Sergei Laschenko in one night all via first round knockouts. His leg kicks have made him notorious as one of the hardest kickers in the Heavyweight division and a total leg hunter. Over the course of the last year he has worked extensively on improving his hands and it has shown. He is also nearly invincible with an incredibly hard head. Ghita has only been knocked out once in his career, back when he was only 24 years old facing off against a much more game Gregory Tony (trust me, Tony used to be a lot better).
So to get prepared for this weekend's It's Showtime event, watch Daniel Ghita from last year, where he absolutely decimated Errol Zimmerman.
