Murder Suspect's Body Found
SPOKANE, Wash. - After a 60-hour manhunt that stretched across Spokane over the weekend the body of triple murder suspect Dustin Gilman was found in the Wandermere area Monday morning.
Shortly before KXLY 4 sources confirmed that Gilman's body had been found, Spokane Police spokesperson Officer Jennifer DeRuwe confirmed that the police are investigating the discovery of a body in the Wandermere / Little Spokane River area and were waiting for the Medical Examiner to make a positive identification of the body.
Several hours later the police department confirmed that the body was in fact Gilman's.
The area had been searched previously by the Spokane Police Department Saturday morning, who knew Gilman was in the vicinity from his cellphone transmissions.
They didn't find him over the weekend but returned Monday with patrol officers, K-9s and the SWAT Team and it was a K-9 that found Gilman's remains behind a house in the 900 block of West Hazard on a rocky plateau between the home and the Little Spokane River.
The place where Gilman was found is called Indian Head Rock, a scenic vista overlooking the Little Spokane River.
"We're not certain how he got out here," Spokane Police Chief Scott Stephens said. "That's one of the things still under investigation. He did not walk here from the crime scene and so we are still trying to determine how he got here and what brought him here."
It was Gilman's father Larry who told detectives that his son was familiar with shallow caves in the Wandermere area, the same area where cell phone transmissions indicated Gilman had made a phone call to his dad Friday night.
A relative of Gilman's said that Dustin called his father, Larry Gilman, Friday night and ?spilled the beans.? The family member said that Dustin Gilman was somewhere in the woods and apologized for everything he'd done in his past. He also admitted to killing Tracy Ader and her sons and said he did not want to go back to prison.
The relative said Gilman's father tried to talk to him for as long as possible, but eventually Gilman said 'goodbye' and then they heard what sounded like a gunshot followed by the sound of rain hitting the phone.
"We had a rather large search area we were looking at based on some information we received on cell phone usage," Chief Stephens said.
Sheriff's deputies flew over the area this weekend in Air One but did it during bad weather. Spokane Police came back with the SWAT Team and K-9s Monday morning and found Gilman's perch.
"This morning we developed additional information that narrowed the scope of our search and so we were able to go to a smaller area and used a combination of our SWAT and K-9 units to recover the remains," Stephens said.
The recovery of Gilman's body brought to an end the search but not the investigation into last week's murders of Tracy Ader and her sons Damien and Kaiden.
Early Saturday morning the Spokane Police Department's Major Crimes unit pulled Tracy Ader's body from her home on North Whitehouse, the bodies of her two boys Damien and Kaiden not far behind. Police said the two boys had been strangled while Tracy was tied up and shot.
Their deaths triggered a manhunt that zeroed in on Dustin Gilman, a man who had been taken in by the family and was living at their home.
Gilman had been staying in the basement at the Ader's home. Nick Ader, Tracy's husband, was in the hospital and when Tracy went to visit him Gilman was supposed to be watching the boys.
On Friday morning around 9:45 Willard Elementary called to report that Damien and Kaiden were not in school. Tracy Ader left the hospital and went home to check on her boys. She was never seen alive again.
Tracy Ader and her sons were discovered by someone who went to their home and found a body shortly after 7 p.m. Friday. Within hours of their bodies being found Spokane Police identified Gilman as a suspect in their killings.
"He didn't have a violent bone in his body, he loved kids more than anything else. We tried to get Dustin help for many years unfortunately it didn't help," Dustin's father Larry Gilman said.
Larry Gilman said his son called on a cell phone Friday night and confessed to the murders. He then heard what sounded like a gunshot. Detectives, meanwhile, were focusing on finding an SUV Gilman took from the Ader family. They found it abandoned Sunday afternoon.
"We did check the immediate area just to be sure and we did check a couple family members who live nearby. We checked their houses to make sure he hadn't tried to break in there or go there for a place to hide out," Spokane Major Crimes Detective Sergeant Mark Griffiths said.
Dustin Gilman was 20-years-old when KXLY4 reporter Jeff Humphrey interviewed him while he was working on an inmate crew in June 2010. At the time he was serving time for stealing and pawing his father's television and 60 DVDs from a friend.
Records show Gilman's criminal history started with burglary at nine-years-old. At ten he was arrested for throwing a dodge ball at a teacher. At 11 he was charged with taking a vehicle without permission and malicious mischief. When he was 12 he was arrested for spitting in a counselors face and threatening to blow up her house.
Gilman was consistently in trouble and in and out of juvenile detention for charges including burglary, obstructing a law enforcement officer and escape.
In 2010 his girlfriend filed a restraining order, claiming Dustin Gilman threatened to come over with a gun to kidnap their daughter. Court documents say he threatened to kill himself if she didn't take him back.
Larry Gilman, Dustin's father, said his family did everything they could to help him, they put him in boy's homes but Dustin refused the help.
Cell phone triangulation and patrol dogs finally led police to Gilman Monday morning. A life of crime that began with burglary when he was nine ended with three murders ended and the 22-year-old convicted felon dead on a cliff overlooking the Little Spokane River.
Gilman's body was recovered and was taken to Holy Family Hospital where the medical examiner will determine his cause of death.
KXLY4's Jeff Humphrey, Aaron Luna and Erik Loney contributed to this report.

got to Burbank Target a bit after opening, one idol Indy on basic pegs, probably a return, along with the same Mutts & Monkey Men from the past few days. They restocked Deluxe with the playsets, motorcycle, and horse sets, so I picked up a 2nd motorcycle and found a decent-paint Indy w/ Horse.
For 12" Indy, there's now at least 3 German Officers, tons of mutts, and a couple talking Indys.

Stashed a Sith Evo set this morning. PM me if interested. Still missing the FU & Jedi sets.
Stashed a Sith Evo set this morning. PM me if interested. Still missing the FU & Jedi sets.
Got quite a few PM's guys and the stash has been claimed. Thanks to all those who played.
I've seen the new Indy 4 trailer in Hi-Def and it is friggin' glorious- can't wait to stand in line at midnight for that one!!
Looks like the Clone Wars toys will be released July 26, 2008, during Comic Con. I wonder if the Hasbro booth will have a special Clone Wars event/sale that day.
Wanted: -
SW Customs Album
That'd be cool.
All Hail Darth Schmitsky!
That would not be cool! I'm not really looking forward to lining up for a lottery number that may or may not give you a spot in line for the Comic Con Hasbrotoyshop booth.
GIGANTA: A robot that automatically produces fun!
Actually, the last thing COMIC-CON needs is more crowds.
Last year Hasbro's booth was the worst-run booth at SDCC, hands down - even beating perennial winner Gentle Giant. It's true, it's damn true.
[FONT=Arial Narrow]
Found all 4 Evo sets at Stevenson Ranch WalMart last night. They were still in the box ready to be put with the other SW products. They never even made it to the shelves. They are really nice sets! The Fett and Sith sets are my favorites. Also found the Keller Comic Pack. Another cool set. I haven't spent that much on SW stuff in a long time.

There are winners and losers every week in the NFL, and the same goes for those playing fantasy football. Let's take a look at who was a winner and deserves a pat on the back, and who was a loser and will not be getting a Christmas card from your family this year.
Winners (by James Morris)
Andy Dalton – QB Bengals: Dalton is an underrated QB by many, but the tandem of Dalton-Green is going to be a dangerous one for years to come. This week he was able to toss the pigskin for 328 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT, good enough for 27.72 points in the Dolphins NFL.com fantasy league.
Andrew Luck – QB Colts: I told you the rookie was one to watch this weekend against a weak Jaguars defense, and he didn't disappoint.
Jamaal Charles – RB Chiefs: Charles finally got his steam engine chugging along as he ran for 233 yards on the ground and a TD. He also added 6 catches for 55 yards and scored a nasty 40.08 points in NFL.com PPR scoring formats.
Andre Brown – RB Giants: Brown took over for injured starter Ahmad Bradshaw, and may have just stolen his job in the process. The 3-year journeyman RB finished with a robust 113 yards rushing and 2 TDs. Bradshaw is going to push it to get back for week 4 after this performance, so we will have to take a wait-and-see approach with how the carries shake out in New York.
Maurice Jones-Drew – RB Jaguars: MJD went off on the Colts defense to the tune of 177 rushing yards and a TD. The yards and TD carried him to 27.30 points in NFL.com PPR leagues.
A.J. Green – WR Bengals: Green started the game out by hauling in a 73-yard TD pass on the Bengals first drive. He finished with 9 receptions for 183 yards, and racked up 30.80 points for NFL.com fantasy leaguers.
Calvin Johnson – WR Lions: And the rich get richer as Megatron hauled in 10 passes for 164 yards and a TD. I would consider playing Johnson in his bye week because I still think the man can get you points playing Madden NFL 2013 at home!
Kyle Rudolph – TE Vikings: I told people about Rudolph all the way back in the pre-season, and the kid is showing why I was right. He is a redzone threat and finished with 2 TDs on 5 catches for 36 yards. He is owned in just 17.2 percent of NFL.com fantasy leagues.
Chicago Bears defense: The Bears defense was my start 'em defense because the Rams offense is just a train wreck. They ended up allowing just 6 points, while amassing 6 sacks, 2 INTs, and a defensive TD.
Losers (by James Morris)
Tony Romo – QB Cowboys: Romo is one of the most criticized starting QBs in the NFL for his performance under pressure. That view probably isn't going to change much after yesterday's game where he threw for 283 yards, no TDs, an INT, and lost 2 fumbles. For a QB projected to get 29.38 in our Dolphins fantasy league on NFL.com, his real-time 6.32 points was a major letdown.
Michael Vick – QB Eagles: I'll admit that I was wrong here! I thought Vick was headed in the right direction with the offense, but if by right I mean completely wrong, then I was right. Vick managed to finish with 217 empty passing yards and 28 rushing yards in a blowout loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Chris Johnson – RB Titans: CJ2K is owned in virtually every fantasy league out there, but the Titans have yet to figure out a way to get blocking for him so he can get his little engine started. The good news is that Johnson managed to up his seasonal YPC up from 1.1 YPC to a robust 1.4 YPC after his 14 carries for 24 yards on Sunday. Hey, any improvement is still improvement… right?
Frank Gore – RB 49ers: The 49ers have been called one of the best teams in the NFL over the first two weeks, if not THE best. I have argued against getting too excited about them because the offense is too conservative to keep up the pace they were on. On Sunday the Vikings put them in check and held Frank Gore to just 63 yards on the ground, and forced a fumble. Gore was projecting out with 16.60 points according to NFL.com "experts" (#19 on their RB projections), and finished with just 6.20 points (#37 for all RBs).
DeSean Jackson – WR Eagles: As I said earlier, the Eagles team as a whole looked pretty horrendous on against the Cardinals, and Jackson was far from the bright spot in their cloudy day. He finished with just 3 catches for 43 yards and no endzone visits.
Vincent Jackson – WR Buccaneers: V-Jax jure wasn't worth playing on Sunday as the Cowboys did a great job at shutting him down until the end of the game. That means there are 77.4 percent of NFL.com fantasy football right now wishing they had started player X over Jackson because all he did was bring on a single pass for 29 empty yards. That equals 3.90 points in our PPR league versus a projected total of 20.40 points.
Coby Fleener – TE Colts: Fleener isn't someone I typically think of when I talk about fantasy TEs, but did you know he is owned in 39.6 percent of NFL.com leagues? Well, almost 40 percent of people playing fantasy football on NFL.com were disappointed on Sunday as Fleener failed to register a single catch against the Jaguars porous defense.
Pittsburgh Steelers defense: The Oakland Raiders offense is not an offense to take lightly, but I doubt anyone expected them to hang 34 points on the scoreboard and hand the Steelers a loss on Sunday. To make it worse, all the Steelers defense could muster for fantasy stats were a single sack and INT.
Week 4 Waiver Wire Additions (by Jon Cope)
Mikel Leshoure, RB Detroit (owned in 71.6% of NFL.com leagues)- Leshoure is the must-add of the week. The Lions have been searching for a lead back since the beginning of training camp, and when Leshoure got his opportunity on Sunday he came through in a big way; rushing for 100 yards and a score while adding 4 receptions for 34 yards. Leshoure has earned the lion share of the carries in Detroit moving forward (pun intended), and won't have to worry about seeing too many 8-man fronts with Detroit's prolific passing game.
Ryan Williams, RB Arizona (owned in 48.7% of NFL.com leagues)- Williams was already sharing the load in Arizona, and with Beanie Wells going down with an injury in Sunday's game, there could be many more carries going to Williams in the coming weeks. Williams is a talented 2nd year player out of Virginia Tech who missed all of 2011 with injury, but is now presented with a chance to become the #1 running back in Arizona. With Arizona's stingy defense, I'd expect Williams to help lead a more balanced Cardinals offense than we've seen in the past several years.
Leonard Hankerson, WR Washington (owned in 1.0% of NFL.com leagues)- if you're looking for a receiver this week, there are slim pickings unless Brandon Lafell or Danny Amendola are available in your league. If neither is available, I would add Hankerson, the former University of Miami standout, to my bench. Hankerson caught 4 passes for 56 yards on Sunday and was targeted 7 times. With Santana Moss in decline and Pierre Garcon banged up, Hankerson has a chance to develop into RG III's #1 target, provided that he can stay healthy himself.
Dennis Pitta, TE Baltimore (owned in 42.4% of NFL.com leagues), Martellus Bennett, TE New York Giants (owned in 37.4% of NFL.com leagues) & Kyle Rudolph, TE Minnesota– (owned in 17.1% of NFL.com leagues)- all three of these talented tight ends have been featured in the passing games of their respective teams over the first three weeks. I would cut bait with Jason Witten and Jacob Tamme, and I would be thinking about benching Jermichael Finley in the coming weeks depending on his performance tonight vs. the Seahawks. There are just too many productive fantasy tight ends for you to be starting an underperforming one at this point in the season.
Arizona Cardinals Defense/Special Teams (owned in 5.2% of NFL.com leagues)- it's time to start recognizing this unit as drastically improved after they only allowed 1 touchdown over the past two weeks in a pair of games against the potent offenses of New England and Philadelphia. Another added bonus with the defense is you get their special teams unit featuring the return game of Patrick Peterson, capable of breaking a touchdown return at any time.
Week 3 Expert Tracker (by James Morris)
For those wondering how I did, I missed on Michael Vick (7.48 points, low-end QB2 numbers), Antonio Gates (5.20 points, TE3 numbers), Peyton Manning (23.20, QB1 numbers) and Carson Palmer (21.86, QB1 numbers). So, I missed on four out of the 16 picks I made, still good enough for a 75 percent rating this week. Not my best showing, but still above par and better than the experts I know at the big box websites. I did however do FAR better in my Twitter, Facebook and email answers as I was able to tell people to grab Mikel Leshoure (100 yards rushing, 34 yards receiving on 4 catches and a TD) and Andre Brown.

We'd leased some land and planted a food plot. All that was left to do was hang a stand so we could start hauling in our deer. The steps getting to that process, however, proved to be the toughest of all.
The inaugural fall of the Crosswinds Hunting Club was under way. The desire to have a place to hunt we could call our own had united a select few of my friends and associates, namely those of us with nowhere else to go.
We'd pooled what resources we could muster and signed the lease to a patch of ground that, apparently, had just been excused from a top-secret government experiment bent on recreating the Sahara Desert in Mississippi. The timber company that owned it had done us the favor of removing every straight tree larger than a pipe cleaner. Those they cut that turned out to be rotten, crooked or, apparently, too heavy to move were thoughtfully left angled here and there across the roads as habitat improvement. Working through the summer, we'd overcome these obstacles, hauled in tractors and implements and planted three food plots.
As luck would have it, the timber people had missed one massive, straight pine that stood next to the least bad-looking of our three plot attempts, so my friend Justin and I decided to hang the single platform stand we had acquired in it. Figuring sturdier steps make for better footing, we selected two dozen of the largest-caliber screw-in model we could find and headed to the woods.
The big bore screw-in steps, it turns out, are meant to be put into holes that have been pre-cut with a cordless drill, a pointer the salesman neglected to mention. Possibly Justin had beaten him down too far on the price and he opted to cut his losses by omitting the instructions.
The first step we installed, one we put in while standing on the ground, should have been eye-opening enough and, truthfully, maybe it was, but we'd come a long way out to hang the stand and we weren't going to be easily deterred.
"Maybe this one's hitting a knot," I said less than hopefully.
"Maybe the whole tree is a knot," Justin said later as he struggled to set the third step while swinging in his climbing harness. "You're doing the next one."
It took an eye-popping strain to push and twist the threads of the screw into the bark so it could worry a hole through the loose material, then it took the same degree of effort to twist once the threads caught hold, because the sap set about doing its best to seize the whole operation.
If either of us had been there alone, we'd have hung the stand three steps up due to the difficulty. It wouldn't have been necessary to wear a harness to hunt from it and you could have just stepped out on the ground when you were through.
Neither of us willing to be the first to cry uncle, we wound up hanging the stand 20 feet high, a job that only took all day. No one who sat in it ever saw a deer, but at least their climb was a breeze.

Lion Fight 11 on September 20th in Las Vegas
- Written by Dave Walsh
After this weekend's Lion Fight 10 event in Las Vegas Lion Fight is not going to make us wait that long for the next big Lion Fight event, as the next one is coming up quite soon, September 20th to be exact. Lion Fight 11 is set to go down on the 20th and will be at the Fremont Experience in Las Vegas, which is a big, open mall that happens to have an area for performances, the Third Street Stage. Tickets to the event will be handled by the neighboring hotel, The D.
As for the fights that are lined up, there isn't much official yet, but what has been announced is pretty exciting. The main event is to feature former Rajadamnern Stadium Welterweight Champion Nampon PK Muay Thai against a yet-to-be-named opponent, but getting Nampon aboard is pretty cool for Lion Fight. The co-main is a pretty big deal as Tetsuya Yamato will once again fight in the United States against American standout Kevin Ross. Ross is coming off of a loss to Matt Embree at Lion Fight 10, which will make the showdown between Yamato and Ross all the more interesting.

Has anyone used this dog food.
Rowdy has an allergy and is currently on Hills D/D Vension and Potatoes. He is doing very well on this food. But this stuff is really expensive.
I was looking at the Natural Choice brochure. They have a Grain Free Venison meal and Potato formula also. It is a little cheaper than the Hills D/D.
Does anyone have other recommendations for dog food. I don't know what he is allergic too.
The vet wanted to wait until he was a year old before testing. He is going in for his annual exam and checkup on 5/22/13. We will discuss testing. He is currently 14 mo. old.

A long standing New York City tradition is the annual lighting of the Rockefeller Center Tree. This year the 80 foot tree, which weighs more than 10 tons, will be donated from a New Jersey tree farmer.
The annual lighting will take place on November 28th and the city will see more than 30,000 lights stringed around the mammoth of a tree. If you cannot make the tree lighting in person, NBC will show the telecast live starting at 8pm on November 28th.
Visiting Rockefeller Center is a great way to start the 2012 holiday season with your friends and family! We hope you enjoy!

JTA and other sites are reporting that the Naboo Starfighter is finally showing up at Gordmans, a store similar to TJ Maxx and Ross. It hasn't looked like it's appeared at other stores yet.
It looks like the store is only located in the Midwest, but I'll be checking in on the ones near me (as I already have this awesome ship) to see if I can pick up any for people on here that are still interested. I find it odd that various items are going to different closeout stores, but such is life. At least it's finally getting out there.

Assignment: Education - Thinking Tool Boxes
A La Crosse Elementary School Pilots a New Program
LA CROSSE, Wis. -- A lot is happening in Mr. Scherer's 2nd grade class at North Woods International School.
During the students' independent learning time, they are busy moving from task-to-task which can be a little loud and distracting for some students.
"Some people kind of bug you, and you kind of get involved. And they kind of get you in trouble sometimes," said Victor Heintz, North Woods International School second grader.
Victor says that situations like this make it hard for him to concentrate, but that's changed since the "thinking tool box" was introduced into his classroom this Spring.
"Before that it was very hard to keep the students attention and really keep them engaged," said Bryant Scherer, North Woods International School second grade teacher. "When they're working independently, they like to just get up and wander around. Whereas now they pretty much stay in one spot, and they're working the whole time."
That's because now the students have several different sensory tools to help them burn energy and regulate their nervous systems which is leading to improved focus in the classroom.13671688
"My favorite one is this one because it helps you stay in one place and not move that much," said Heintz.
"It's kind of like a weighted vest," said Scherer. "They're kind of weighted objects. They kind of hold you down and keep you calm. So that they can focus more when they're working."
The students can also choose from headphones which cancels out some of the sounds or fidgets which are hand tools to keep their hands busy. But Mr. Scherer says one of the most popular tools are the wiggle seats.
"If you look around, the purple right there, those are one of the wiggle seats," said Scherer. "So, he's just kind of sitting in it right now, but when he needs to take a break and just kind of move around, it keeps him working. It keeps him in his spot but lets him move."
"The whole concept behind this is to have tools in the classroom that promote thinking and promote self-regulation; the ability to stay alert, stay engaged in class," said Dana Young, North Woods International School occupational therapist.
Young believes the increased need for these tools in the classroom boils down to too much screen time and not enough active play.
"Our bodies are meant to move and it seems like there are more kids that are having a hard time with that self regulation," said Young. "And that is a skill that needs to be learned."
These sensory tools are helping to show students what they need to do with their bodies to stay focused and on-task in the classroom.
"If you think about your environment, some kids are sensitive to and are easily distracted by the noises around them," said Young. "Some actually function better with the noise. Some of us learn better by doing and moving. And some of us just like to read it and process is that way."
And because of the thinking tool box, students in Mr. Scherer's 2nd grade class get to discover how they learn best.
"I'm glad it's in here becasue a lot of people need to concentrate a lot sometimes," said Heintz.
"As adults, we can go take a walk when we need to, drink a cup of coffee, chew gum. That allows us to do what we need to do and stay engaged in the tasks that we need to do," said Young. "And these kids aren't any different."

Strike or no strike, last night's three-part crossover with Conan had me rolling. I even watched Conan to see how it ended, and I normally don't watch anything that's on that late (unless nudity and/or gratuitous violence is involved).
The message from Huckabee that wrapped it all up was the funniest part of all. It's nice to see that the guy has a sense of humor, no matter how wacked out he might be.
Sadly, with this being on two different networks, and with the networks cracking down on posting their stuff, this will probably never be seen again.

They where also trailing Tampa for a good portion of that game. Tampa wasn't worried about the run at that point. The Panthers are bad team.
Of course, "he" didnt want to come out.......I could not believe my eyes whe I read that. He does not have the stats to be making such pronouncements.
Can you imagine if Joe McCarthy listened to Wally Pip when he returned.........Lou Gehrig might have spent half his career on the bench.
Its been a long long time since Ahmad had a 100 yd game........2 seasons I believe. He is a good 3rd down back, or 4th Qtr replacement.....Brown is a horse.
"Most impressive with Brown was how he ran through contact and dragged would-be
tacklers with him for additional yards."
Something Bradshaw can't do.
Let's see, Brown was in for ten plays, half of which were running plays, so somewhere along the line Gibride decides that Brown can't pass block even though he did a good job pass blocking in both the Tampa game and the Carolina game. For the record, Eli was not sacked at all in the Tampa game, even though we were playing from behind and Tampa could rush every play. He was sacked only once during the Carolina game, and I don't know who was responsile for that sack. When Bradshaw was assigned with protecting him in Philadelphia he didn't get sacked either. So we have one sack in three games, two of which Brown played a featured role in, and, out of the blue, pass protection is the key, deciding issue in who our running back should be? I think Gilbride is full of crap on this one, period. This is the same old resistance to change that we've seen from Gilbride and Coughlin forever. They had some momentum in the running game and threw it out the window for bull crap reasons. The best thing we coud have done at the Eagles was to run right over them, between the tackles. Their line is small, and they are very succeptible to that approach. Instead we go with Ahmad Cutbackshaw, and the running game never got going. Even Collinsworth pointed out the Cutbackshaw seldom follows his blockers and hits the hole, he's ALWAYS looking to take the play outside.
I bet dollars to donuts that Deihl steps right back in when he comes back too. Even though it looks pretty evident that there are better lineman playing right now.
I think the coaching staff out thought themselves Sunday night, and they lost the game, not the team. Eli's interception in the endzone didn't help; but, the coaching staff was doing some weird stuff in the Eagles game. But now, Gilbride has justified why he's going to go with Bradshaw, and sit Brown on the bench. I hope he'll remember we're 2-0 with Brown, and 0-2 with Cutbackshaw.
Clueless 2 time Super Bowl winning coaches. Protecting your franchise QB is so over rated. Put in Brown and the rookie.

Family: Strigidae, Owls view all from this family
Description ADULT Has rich brown plumage overall, adorned with white spots on head, neck, back, and underparts. JUVENILE Has fluffy plumage at first, but acquires adultlike appearance by fall.
Dimensions Length: 16 1/2 -19" (42-48 cm)
Endangered Status Both subspecies of Spotted Owl occurring in the U.S. -- the Northern Spotted Owl and the Mexican Spotted Owl -- are on the U.S. Endangered Species List. The Northern Spotted Owl is classified as threatened in California, Oregon, and Washington. The Mexican Spotted Owl is classified as threatened in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah. The Northern Spotted Owl's habitat is the old-growth forests of the Pacific Northwest that are most-coveted by timber interests. Natural disasters such as fire, volcanic eruptions, and severe winds have also taken a toll on this owl's habitat. The Mexican Spotted Owl also owes its decline to the cutting of its old-growth home forests, as well as to wildfires. Changing the practices of the timber industry is the only hope for these old-growth forests and the animals that live in them. Because these forests are quite complex ecosystems that take hundreds of years to develop, they cannot be easily replaced.
Habitat Uncommon and generally scarce resident of undisturbed wooded habitats. Northern population of Spotted Owl is particularly threatened in Pacific Northwest by loss of old-growth forest to which it is tied; it is a conservation icon and its demise a testament to man's short-sightedness.
Observation Tips At well known and regularly visited sites where disturbance is minimal (e.g. in some Arizona canyons), roosting birds are sometimes indifferent to human observers, affording superb views.
Range California, Texas, Western Canada, Northwest, Southwest
Voice Utters a series of sharp-sounding, abrupt hoots, typically hu-hoo, hu-hoo-hoo.
Discussion Beautifully patterned owl with plump body, proportionately large head, and rounded facial disc. Sexes are similar.

poorly oscar :(
I own a Tiger Oscar who is around 6 years old. I have personally owned him for 3 years. He shares his tank with a pleco, it is a 260 litre tank- well filtered, cleaned often ph ammonia, nitrate and nitrite levels have all been tested and all fine. For the past 5 days now he has not been eating, then yesterday I noticed his stomach/anus area is bloated and looks white...he was still acting his usual self other than not eating until tonight , now he is almost vertical- head down tail up just staying at the bottom of the tank. He swims occasionally and seems ok until he stops then his head goes down again.
Is there anything I can treat him with?
Have you ever given him PraziPro for internal worms?
Check those water parmeters. Do no think they are OK but know that they are. Nitrates less than 20 and the other two at 0.
With a pleco, gravel vac needs to be done weekly and large water changes for this tank. What is your filtration?

No I've never given home prazi pro. I have checked the water today, nitrate is 5.0, ph is 7 ammonia is 0.25 and nitrate is 0.2. The tank has an external filter a fluval 350 and is cleaned with a gravel Hoover yes.
He usually eats bloodworms, prawns...other various frozen cube fish food every day.
would you recommend an epsom salt bath? could it be a bladder/ intestine infection?

Hi, sorry your going through this.
Need more info.
How long has it been setup:
How many fish:
Type of fish:
Size of fish:
Any recent changes in tank decor or tank mates:
Any medication:
Food how often:
When was last water change and how much:
And what test kit`s are you useing:
Your reading`s are high, would do at lest a 50% WC now....
But also sound`s like he/she has too much meat in diet. blockage problems maybe.
Have you trye`d veg`s and fruit ?
A epsom salt bath will not hurt, no more than the stress of takeing the O out of tank, and back again. ( Watch out for temp diffrent when bath done, to tank water)
A pic is alway`s helpful.

Pirelli's 2012-specification tyres delivered on their promise to provide a greater variety of race strategies by decreasing the performance gaps between the compounds this year. The new versions of the P Zero Yellow soft and P Zero White medium were nominated for the Australian Grand Prix, but the drivers had very little dry running with them before the start, as Friday's free practice sessions in Albert Park were characterised by rain.
The top finishers adopted a two-stop strategy for the race, as was the case last year, but with the pace of the medium and the soft compound only differing by around 0.5 seconds per lap, the way in which they used the tyres was different – with some drivers favouring two stints on the soft tyre and others preferring two stints on the medium.
One of the turning points of the race was a safety car on lap 36, which bunched up the field and allowed Red Bull Racing's Sebastian Vettel to claim second place by passing McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton in the pits.
At the restart, race leader Jenson Button demonstrated the rapid warm-up time of the medium compound even in the cool conditions of the afternoon by pulling out a second within the first sector, to eventually claim his third victory in Australia. Vettel, who finished runner-up, had adopted a completely different strategy by using the soft tyre during his medium stint. Last year, Vettel's winning margin was 22 seconds; this year Button won by just over two seconds.
Pirelli's motorsport director Paul Hembery commented: "The Australian Grand Prix certainly lived up to expectations, and we fulfilled our objective of providing scope for more strategies by reducing the performance gaps between the compounds and extending the window of peak performance. An interesting element was that there were many pit stops that were not for wear level but instead for degradation, confirming what we wanted to achieve strategy-wise. We also saw more use of the medium tyre than the soft tyre, contrary to last year. Despite this range of strategies there were some very tight battles all the way down the field right up to a dramatic final lap, with one driver crashing out and eighth, ninth and 10th places crossing the finish line practically together! The wear and degradation of the tyres was around 0.1 seconds per lap on the soft tyre – with the frontrunners choosing to pit twice, despite the rapid pace at the front of the field. Many congratulations to Jenson Button and McLaren for a stylish victory and also to Mark Webber, who scores his best-ever finish on home territory."

Over the weekend, I got to talking to an old turkey hunting friend about what he uses when he hunts. He (like me) used to go with a vest only, but older bones have forced him to turkey hunt using a low-slung a chair. I have exactly the same situation. I honestly don't know how long I'd last in the woods without a chair. I have a Cabela's Gobbler Lounger (which my buddy uses) and a GCI Everywhere Chair (which another couple of friends use). Both make it easier to sit still comfortably for hours, but are that much more extra stuff to have to lug through the Spring turkey woods.
I was watching a video the other day and noticed that the hunter in the video was using his vest only and it made me hurt to think about.
So, How about you? What do you like, need, or use, and why?

No other country has ever freed so many from tyranny! Not even close!!
No other country has ever freed so many from tyranny! Not even close!!
please fill me in on "fact"
By far the dominant world power over the last 400 years has been the Brits. the british empire covered 1/4 of the worlds population for over 200 years. i was the Brits who abolished the slave trade in the 1820's 40 years before the civil war
i would be interested to see who tpaschal30 thinks the Americans have freed from tyranny.
by the way I like your signature attributed to socrates wasnt it?
While your input is certainly welcome, my question was directed more toward U.S. citizens in an effort to see which of us believe that we live in the greatest country in the world and which of us do not. If possible, I would prefer that this not turn into a discussion of the attributes of the various countries of the world but simply address the question.
This thread is a bit like asking Christians if Jesus is the greatest religious figure. The believers will say, " Of course!"
I don't want to feed an ugly dog!

Special love to all teachers: preschool, elementary, Jr. High (special high five for intense courage under fire), Sr. High, and colllege. Good teachers (like good coaches) are what makes humans the superior species on planet earth. They inspire mankind's greatness, empower his faith, and give us the means to make dreams come true.
(Bad teachers create monsters, but that's another rant and not our focus here....)
The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of a teacher (sorry Vader, had you learned that you wouldn't have ended up in your black suit).
I'm proud to know teachers, proud to have had great teachers in my life, and proud to send my children into the hands of the next generation of great teachers (plus I'm proud to send my children out of the house!!!!!).
Good luck this year teachers. You matter. May the force be with you.

Campaigning for office is easy. It's governing that's hard.
The Maine Republican Party is still trying to absorb this simple lesson. And some of its members appear to be slow learners.
When the state GOP swept to power in last November's elections, its followers assumed that with control of the House, Senate, and governorship, it would have no problem implementing a conservative agenda that would touch on nearly every aspect of life, from bureaucratic regulations to education policy to health-care costs to funding for public broadcasting to the reverence with which Mainers regard the whoopie pie.
Trouble is, Republicans are no more unified in their priorities than Democrats and far less focused on common goals than most monkeys, many marsupials, and some species of amphibian.
For instance, if opossums were in charge in Augusta, they'd almost certainly have set aside any petty differences in order to pass a tax-reform bill in the first 90 days of the legislative session. The GOP is still dithering over the details of its plan.
If tree frogs had a majority in the Legislature, they'd have opened the state's health-insurance market to competition without all the complications in the Republican bill — and without its accompanying tax hike. They'd also have pushed it through to passage a couple of months ago, so any lingering partisan rancor would have cooled before final negotiations began on the state budget. Republicans made their insurance bill overly complex, overly expensive, and overly late.
If pygmy marmosets and mandrills formed a coalition government, they'd have come up with a regulatory reform package that didn't include superfluous items, such as allowing questionable chemicals in sippy cups. To win support for their agenda from macaques and capuchins, they'd have avoided stupid proposals like repealing the state's ban on billboards, weakening the returnable bottle law, and preventing cops from stopping motorists who aren't wearing seat belts. In this way, they'd have denied their rivals (chimpanzees, gorillas, candidates for mayor of Portland) the sorts of silly issues that will play so well in next year's campaigns. In contrast, the GOP newbies indulged themselves in antics designed to delight their Tea Party pals, while raising questions of competence in the minds of more moderate voters.
What Republicans failed to realize as they took office is that when it comes to the most contentious issues, a numerical majority based on party affiliation means almost nothing. With most hot-button political disputes, the breakdown between supporters and opponents has little to do with whether someone is wearing a donkey T-shirt, an elephant pin, or a fur-covered pouch in which they suckle their young during lulls in the debate.
In Maine's legislative system, the concept of party loyalty is mostly a myth.
Even when the GOP has been able to use its majority muscle, such as in passing health-insurance legislation, it hasn't been easy to get all the monkeys to line up and do the hear-no-evil-see-no-evil-speak-no-evil routine. The state Senate vote had to be delayed because several Republican senators were uneasy with the measure. A few hastily drafted amendments and a crate of coconuts were required to restore the illusion of a united front.

It is much harder for countries to make the transition from emerging to developed economies than was previously commonly thought, according to Frances Hudson (pictured), Global Thematic Strategist, Standard Life Investments…
Evidence suggests that it is much harder for countries to make the transition from emerging to developed economies than is commonly thought. According to the World Bank, only 13 countries have moved from upper middle to high income - one of the measures of a developed economy - since 1960. Of those, five are the Asian tigers; others include Greece, Ireland, Spain and Israel.
In considering the investment potential of emerging-market asset classes, it is clear that they are open for business. However, if growth is the objective, it may be captured better in the early stages by investing in the currency or government bond market, first hard currency then local, rather than equities.
Much of the rise in emerging countries' share of global GDP and markets is tied to currency appreciation. Strong economic growth does not necessarily translate into strong equity market performance just as gains in equity markets do not necessarily reflect economic progress.
Emerging economies cannot grow in isolation. The strongest conclusion must be to consider the lack of persistence in growth differentials and rethink straight-line projections as a prima-facie case for indiscriminate investing in emerging markets.

Alice B. Huebner
MADISON - Alice Bast Huebner, age 94, passed away on, February 1, 2013, at Agrace HospiceCare with one or more of her daughters at her side at all times.
Alice Katherine was born on October 25, 1918, in Rockfield, the daughter of Paul Jacob and Bertha Mantz Bast. Alice attended the University of Wisconsin, where she met and later was united in marriage to Frederick Charles Huebner of Beaver Dam on December 28, 1940. Alice and Frederick lived in Madison, Platteville, Madisonville, KY, and back to Madison in 1949 after Fred returned from military service during WW II. Many summer vacations were spent on Little Fork and Medicine Lakes near Three Lakes, WI with Alice's in-laws, and eventually Alice and Fred built a new summer home on the Medicine Lake family property.
Alice and her beloved shelties continued to spend much of her summers for 21 years following Fred's death in 1992 in Three Lakes, enjoying annual visits from her grandchildren, great grandchildren and many friends. She continued the now 60-year family tradition of attending the Chapel in the Pines on Preacher's Point where her mother-in-law Laura Holtz Huebner had been the pianist and her daughter Ellen was married; where she "could see the tall pines, hear the loons calling and feel that God is with you."
Alice was a devoted mother and outstanding cook and took great pride in entertaining family and business associates. She was an avid reader and enjoyed traveling in western National Parks, Europe, and Australia. Since 1950, both Alice and her husband were active in Bethany Methodist Church as it grew and developed, with Alice teaching Sunday school and devoted to visiting elderly and/or sick members. She writes in her life story that her church and its many long-time members were a most important part of her life, especially after her husband passed on. Additionally, Alice volunteered for Project Head Start and was later hired as a Parent Worker. Alice described this experience as one of learning to accept each person where they are in life, assist them and have hope for a better life, and appreciate that many people are truly less fortunate than others through no fault of their own.
Alice is survived by three of four daughters, Mary (Fritz) Hasler of Lindon, UT, Anne Huebner of Three Lakes, WI and Ellen (Jerry) Desmond of Sebastopol, CA; six grandchildren, Geoffrey Desmond, Katherine Desmond, Anneliese (Brad) McDonald, Marta (Adam) DeBellis, Katherine (Chip) Jett, and Matthew (Amy) Hasler, and 9 great-grandchildren. She is further survived by her sister and brother-in-law, Jean and Jorge Bustamante of San Salvador, El Salvador, her sister-in-law Agnes (Paul) Bast, as well as many nieces and nephews and dear friends, including Bob Kirkpatrick.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Frederick Charles, her daughter, Laura Jean, a sister and brother-in-law Louise and Stanley Stokes, a brother Paul Bast, and her parents.
Funeral service will be held at 11 a.m. on Thursday, February 7 at Bethany Methodist Church, 3910 Mineral Point Road, Madison, with lunch following. The family would like to thank the many caregivers at Agrace Hospice, the UW Carbone Cancer Center, Meriter Wisconsin Heart, and Oakwood University Woods Retirement Campus for contributing to our mother's quality of life to the very end.

Oyes headin out to the boonies
Something about him reminds me of my older brother, Rex.
We celebrated with a few Canadian Club Classics and Canada Dry Ginger Ale... getting hammered once in a while is an important part of living in The Great White North. Had a couple of Bloody Caesars as well... never realised we were so slobberingly patriotic until we raided the liquor cabinet... except that we won't drink Canuck beer! No structural damage to the house during our celebrations, remarkably.
BTW, I've always wanted to nuke Winnipeg... everyone I've met from there annoyed me.
I'd like to thank our American brethren for not bringing up "Canadian bacon" for once... we can deal with the standard Rush/Adams comments. BTW, it's called back bacon, eh.

So farewell, then, 2011. (With apologies to Private Eye's poet-less-than-laureate E.J. Thribb.)
ESET's December ThreatSense Report, as before, looks at threat trends over the year, rather than just the past month. In particular, we've noted that despite the very real impact of Microsoft's countermeasures this year against infection by the type of threat we generally categorize as INF/Autorun, the two most prevalent threats over the year, as measured by our ThreatSense.net® telemetry are still INF/Autorun (5.84%) and Win32/Conficker (3.69%). That does tell us something depressing about the quantity of unpatched systems that still seem to be out there.
On the other hand, there's no denying that there has been a significant impact. A year ago, Conficker held first place with 8.45% (a little over 10% if you include the related threat we classify as INF/Conficker), and INF/Autorun scored 6.75%.
Of course, the report isn't only about the top ten malware. However, we've taken a slightly different approach this time as we look back over our shoulders: in fact, a selection of approaches.
Welcome back to the wacky world of malware. I can hardly wait to see what surprises 2012 has in store for us. ;)

Today's Saturday. The previous week was kind of fun. On Wednesday I took my son (he's 14) to Linux Expo in NYC. We wandered around the exhibit hall, picking up free things, and at the end of the day we attended the "Golden Penguin Bowl". It was a fun afternoon.
In one issue of "Linux Journal" that was given out at the Expo, there is an article on how to set up a wireless router using a Linux machine. The idea is obvious: set up a machine with two network cards, one normal and one wireless, configure it to route and you're done.
The author suggested to use an old laptop for this sort of thing. As it turns out I have a couple of old laptops collecting dust under my desk (one is a 486 based, the other P90) and they would be perfect for this job.
So today I'm fiddling with this laptop. I had installed Debian on it while ago, and now I started to play more with dpkg and apt-get. I can see how this packaging system can be addictive. It's less fancy, just command line, but it sure makes it easy to add or remove packages. The ability to get the stuff over the net. Real cool. I did update my whole distribution to come up to more recent code, although this is still "potato".
I was able to add one network card, configure networking, and then get up on the net. Now I'm building emacs. Mind you this machine has only 16M of memory and 512M disk.
Next I need to figure out what wireless cards to get and finish setting it up as a router.
MP3 CD for today is Miles Davis...

Ryan Braun reaction: Fed-up players feel `cheated'
Jason Bay watched it on television, just like the rest of us. Ryan Braun read that defiant statement out in Phoenix last year and insisted he was innocent.
Then on Monday, the Milwaukee Brewers slugger accepted a 65-game suspension for unspecified "violations" of baseball's drug program and labor contract.
"I think for me what makes me mad," said Bay, a Seattle Mariners outfielder, "they played his apology from spring training that year when he did the whole thing and it was very heartfelt - and basically it just kills all the credibility of anybody."
Reaction poured in from around the majors after Major League Baseball banned Braun without pay for the rest of the season and the postseason, the beginning of sanctions involving players reportedly tied to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.
Braun, the 2011 NL MVP, dodged a 50-game penalty last year when an arbitrator overturned his positive test for elevated testosterone because the urine sample had been improperly handled.
"I think everybody's frustrated, especially the players. I think we all feel a little bit cheated," Mariners pitcher Joe Saunders said.
Braun, struggling through an injury-plagued season, will miss Milwaukee's final 65 games, costing him about $3 million of his $8.5 million salary. But his punishment probably won't affect the Brewers' playoff chances much - they were last in the NL Central at 41-56, already far out of wild-card contention.
"I talked to a lot of the guys and we think the penalties aren't harsh enough," Saunders said. "They should step up the penalties even more. That will really set the tell-tale sign that if you cheat and do get caught, you're going to lose a lot of money.
"I don't get why guys have to do that stuff."
Braun issued a statement Monday saying he's not perfect and realizes now that he has made some mistakes. He apologized "to anyone I may have disappointed" and said he was happy to have the matter behind him "once and for all."
But that doesn't mean there's no fallout for others in the game.
"It's a sad day," Los Angeles Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We went through some dark times in baseball when PEDs became very, very prevalent, and obviously they're still being used - hopefully to a lesser degree. But there's no place for them. It's a black eye when something like this happens."
Bay thinks Braun could have handled his situation differently.
"If you look at the guys who have done stuff and just come out and admit it, a lot of guys don't remember who those guys were," Bay said. "But the guys who run up and down and say, `No, no,' and then it gets drug through the mud 10 times worse, it makes it tougher on themselves and the rest of us."
It appears more penalties are coming, too.
Braun was one of a dozen players targeted by MLB, including injured New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez, following a report by Miami New Times in January that they had been connected with Biogenesis of America, a now-closed anti-aging clinic.
"The guys that are cheating or whatever are taking something away from the other players. They're lying to the fans, they're lying to their teammates, they're lying to their GMs, their owners, and they're going to get caught," Angels pitcher C.J. Wilson said.
San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy thinks MLB is "doing a great job" of attempting to clean up the sport.
"I think it's important for the integrity of the game. With the kids who are coming up to play baseball, it's an important message to them, the fans, and also the players that do it right," he said.
Still, others can't understand why PEDs remain an issue.
"For these guys still to be involved with this stuff just baffles me. The education's there and everybody knows what you can and can't take," Miami Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "It baffles me that this continues to be a black cloud over the game. I know Major League Baseball's done a great job of cleaning up the game and the testing policy and all that. And it's working. But at the same time, too, it seems like we'll go through a lull and then, bam, here comes another guy that gets suspended. It's got to stop."

FAIL at 16% , 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 +1d6
I think a d12 would be preferred.
Critical failure's actually up around 33% - but so is success.
Sounds a lot more complicated than 1d6+3 if you ask me, even if you're guaranteed to roll at least a 4. It's (supposed to be) rare enough that I think a little bit of unfairness is okay.

India breathes new life in its Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC)
The Genetic Engineering Appraisal Committee (GEAC) of India was reconstituted on March 11, 2013, following which the industry heaved a huge sigh of relief. The decision from India's environment ministry came only after repeated criticism by the industry as well as certain ministers within the government. The last meeting of the GEAC took place on April 11, 2012, and since then there were no fresh clearances given to any field trials for Genetically Modified (GM) crops.
A recent meeting under the chairmanship of Mr Hem Pande, additional secretary, ministry of environment and forests on March 22, 2013, decided that several issues, which require the attention of the GEAC, would have been taken up.
As per the agenda listed out for the meeting, apart from the clearances to field trials of various GM crops, it also take stock of the status of writ petition in the context of interim report submitted by the Technical Expert Committee (TEC) constituted by the Supreme Court. Also, the 16-member committee reviewed 22 applications for extension of validity period or change in the location.
The co-chairman of GEAC, Prof. Sudhir Kumar Sopory, vice chancellor, Jawaharlal Nehru University, when contacted by BioSpectrum said that he was unable to attend the meeting and he didn't elaborate the reasons for the same. The mails to GEAC chairman and other members went unanswered. The apparent reason perhaps is the clause in the committee's terms of references that mentions the undertaking by the members on not revealing any confidential information.
Industry welcomes the move!
While most of the industry representatives believe that GEAC is very important for the timely clearances of the GM crops for field trials, there are a few who think that mere clearance by a regulatory body is of no great help. This is because they have to then look for clearances from state governments to go ahead for conducting field trials.
Reacting to this, Dr N Seetharama, executive director, Association of Biotechnology led Enterprises-Agriculture Group (ABLE-AG) said, "It is surely a right decision that has come on a right time. The vacuum created in between had to be filled as soon as possible."
