Teaching Philosophy: Having worked with quite a few editors over the past twenty years, I feel my strongest work as a teacher is when I bring the best of those experiences to my students. The most energizing exchanges always came when I realized a great editor was in fact pouring her energy into channelling me, rather than battling me. I believe new writers come to us wanting to sound like their best selves, I believe they are right to feel this way, and I believe it is my duty to help them achieve this. (We may sometimes have to debate what that best self might actually be, but that too is part of the fun.)
In workshop there is one horse I feel is never too dead to beat: our objective is to get the writer back to the keyboard. All feedback does not need to be cheerleading but it does need to be designed to leave the writer with the ideas - and the will - to go back and make the work stronger.

My bobamaker helmet has been gathering dust for well over a year so I recently plucked up the courage to start painting it.
I decided to do a white pre-pro/custom mandalorian helmet coz it would give me freedom to make mistakes and learn painting techniques etc. I wanted to do an ESB but I havent painted props or models before so i was intimidated by the challenge.
The look Im going for with this project is a rusting, heavily scarred and damaged helmet, taking inspiration from photographs of old WW2 german winter camo helmets.
Ive began painting the front right portion of the helmet to develop my technique and find the look Im going for and I was hoping for some feedback from you guys. Im fairly happy with how its looking but I think I've overdone it a tad on the mandibles. I still havent detailed the temple scarring yet in these pictures and I will be applying fine scrathes and washes at the very end of the project.
Your feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated guys
P.S. I will be filling in the dent as well before Im finished with it I know it annoys some people to see the dent on a custom.

I'd pay $400 for that gun all day. Great find!
Went back to the gun show to pick up a 44mag that I had my eye on and met this old guy, he looked older than dirt, about the Thompson Center Encore he was wearing. He said he had a grand into it and the two barrels were a custom 22-250 and a 308 win the leather holster with the Thompson stamp on it along with a 9 power Thompson scope and he wanted 400 for it. I know nothing about them and always wanted one but the price was to high for me. I knew it was a good deal so I looked for a table selling them asked the guy what he thought about the deal and he said get it. I found him and gave him the 400 for it. I thought something might be wrong with it but he looked and acted honest. I wish I was financially better off to give the guy more money for it. You could tell he needed the bucks and even though I got a great deal, I just wish I could have helped him out more. Took it to the range and found the 22-250 to be a tac driver. My son shot the 308 eight times and had to stop. I'm ordering a butt stock for it tonight. I plan on getting a 223, 454, 44mag and 357mag barrels for it. I'm really happy with it and my son loves the thing. He is going into the Army with in two week so I might just give it to him when he gets out of AIT.
I'd pay $400 for that gun all day. Great find!
Congratulations on your good buy, spacedoggy.
Good job Spacedoggy!! Those things are awesome. $400 is a GREAT buy for that firearm +all the accessories. I don't know how much you hunt, but that thing will flatten wild hogs all day long.
Very good buy there Mr.Spacedoggy. I am sure the old man had that much in it if not more. You paid his asking price so I wouldn't feel to bad about it. Them guys behind the tables where probably telling the old man they might give him $300 tops. Good luck with it and let us know how your son likes it.
i love the gun but the 308 barrell is too much on the wrist so we bought a rifle stock but the 22-250 is a tack driver all around great gun

Many frequencies used today in our current UHF Wireless Systems were given for the use of mobile services (LTE). The operation of conventional UHF wireless systems in these frequency ranges is not, or only partly allowed. This change is referred to in the industry as digital dividend. In Germany for example the digital change-over will be on the 31.12.2015
Fortunately, most systems are currently available in the UHF frequency ranges and multiple systems with our Thomann frequency tool, so you can see in which frequencies the selected products are allowed and whether they may continue to be used freely without extra costs or registration.
Incidentally, modern wireless systems that transmit over the wireless frequencies of WIFI networks are not affected by the digital dividend. Please refer to the notes in our product descriptions.

Arsène Wenger insists Arsenal are not defensively weak but admits his side do need to tighten up on set-pieces this season.
A number of defenders have been linked with a move to Emirates Stadium this summer but Carl Jenkinson is the only addition to Wenger's squad so far.
The Frenchman believes the players he has at his disposal have enough quality but he appreciates that improvements need to be made.
"I don't think we are weak defensively but we are an offensive team," said Wenger. "Sometimes that exposes our defenders a bit more than other teams.
"I believe we have quality defenders. One is Thomas Vermaelen and he did not play last year.
"In open play, we were one of the better defences [last season] but we conceded too many goals on set-pieces and that is where we want to improve this season."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'm interested to know what your reaction is after you come back to find a destroyed bed. I've had a couple dogs that just sincerely did not like beds, but most of the dogs learned that you will just stop them from chewing the bed when you're in the room, so they won't do it there. But when you leave, if you give a big display when you get back, he may have learned that no owner + destroyed bed = super loud exciting owner when they return! In either case, I would probably recommend doing a towel or something until he matures a bit more.
|Very little experience with this but my (having a **** of a time with my new puppy right these days. haha) but one tip my breeder told me to do to help with the jumping on people.. as somewhat of a last resort, is to grab him firmly by the arm/shoulder when he jumps on you, square off, and stare him down, and say "OFF" but dont let him go until he is uncomfortable and pulls away. I guess this is supposed to teach him that jumping on people is not such a fun place to be. I'm new to raising dogs but my breeder had raised several shutzhund III dogs so i imagine she knows what shes talking about. good luck!
|just give him a towel to lie on.
I will see how he'll act from now on since I'm really strict about his jumping now. If it won't help, I might consider the e-collar.
Another thing about him that is really annoying is each time I buy him new bed, he will rip it into shreds. That was always a problem with him since he was tiny. If I don't watch him, he will bite it and try to destroy it. He knows he can't do that. When we're in the room together, he won't dare to bite it. If you leave the bed with him while I'm gone for an hour, it's over. Is this normal for German Shepherd? Seems to me that he doesn't like beds. He never lays on it, maybe he doesn't like the feeling of laying on it? Maybe it's to cozy? He's not exactly the cuddly type.

I have a bitch pup that will be a year in March. No nipping but her jumping is getting exasperating. She will get over it. I just keep telling her EH! Don't jump on the Susie. But she just has to get at least one jump in. Dubya was like that too.
This was years ago. I had worked with him because I knew I was going to have surgery on my wrist, and didn't want him jumping on me. So I finally thought I had it. For two or three weeks prior to the surgery he had not jumped on me. The day after the surgery, he ran right up and both front paws right on the bad wrist.
I lost it. I really do not know how I did it, but I picked his 80 pound self up and slammed him into the fence.
Positive training goes Boink!
It was like a lightbulb went off thought. "Oh yeah, you didn't want me to dog that." He didn't jump on me again for months though.
Sorry, couldn't be more help on that. Going to regular training classes should help though.
At that age, no, it is not a stage. It is something that needs to be corrected.
Can't really help with the gatoring, because here it stopped at 5 months.
But Hans was quite the jumper in his day.
I had him on a leash and when he even gave a sign that he wanted to jump, I stepped on the leash so he couldn't. I also made a loud and low "AH!" noise.
He learned that this was not OK with me.
I also did my best to get him nice and tired and not to talk to him in a high voice that would get him riled up.
Since he liked to jump, I threw a ball over and over so he could jump for it--- not too high, though. Growing joints need to be managed. Just enough for him to enjoy himself.
If the weather won't permit, you still can do the jump for the ball game in the house.
You can also see if he will search for a toy you hide. All that sniffing and searching wears them out. Good luck.
Thanks guys. I will start getting tough on him from now on. I think i just let him do whatever he wants and he knows that I wont do anything about it. The temperature change sounds about right. That's what I was thinking initially.
Given the below freezing temps in Chicago and insane winds, he is not getting enough exercise. it's currently -20 outside.
No, nipping is not ok.
With both nipping and jumping, don't just turn around, leave him. Don't even say anything, leave him and close a door after you if necessary.
He's getting attention, and like a naughty child, attention, positive or negative, is rewarding to him.
Also start training a "down" ( not when he's acting out). Get treats and a good solid down. This will be useful in redirecting behavior.
How much exercise is he getting? Just letting outside doesn't count.
Like they say, " a tired pup is a good pup."
Up his mental exercise. Hide a treat or favorite and teach him to find it.
These dogs need lots of mental and physical exercise. It's well worth the time and effort.
Good luck.

Estate Planning & Probate
Estate planning is one of the most important steps any person can take to make sure that their final property and health care wishes are honored, and that loved ones are provided for in their absence.
Probate is the process by which the affairs of the deceased are settled. Probate courts also handle issues such as name changes and guardianship proceedings. For additional details on wills and probate, please read through our Frequently Asked Questions.
A will may be made by anyone "legally competent" (At least 18 years old and of sound mind) It is important when making a will, that you understand the property that you own, it's value, and whom you will be leaving your belongings to.

Frequently Asked Questions: Probate/Wills
What is the Purpose of the Probate Process?
Probate proceedings are needed to ensure an orderly transfer of property. It is also necessary to:
- Safeguard the deceased's estate
- Pay all debts and taxes
- Resolve who is entitled to what assets and to disburse the property accordingly.
What Does a Personal Representative do?
In most cases, a personal representative is responsible for handling and settling the deceased's estate. Their responsibilities include:
- Contacting the heirs and creditors concerning the probate proceedings
- Collecting and taking inventory of the probate assets belonging to the deceased
- Determining and paying for state, federal and income taxes
- If necessary, selling property in order to pay back taxes and/or expenses.
- Distributing remaining proceeds to designated family members and relatives.
What are the Probate Costs for Utah?
The filing fees for adoptions, probate, guardianship, conservatorship and name changes are each $360. For additional information including copy fees please refer to the Filing Fee Schedule.
What Exactly is a Will?
A will is a written legal document. It allows you to:
- Name the people and organizations that you choose to receive your property: both personal property and real estate.
- Name the person you wish to be guardian for your unmarried children under 18 in the event there is no surviving parent.
- Name your "personal representative" as well as an alternate personal representative. A personal representative is a person or trust company that you wish to handle your affairs after your death.
- In some cases, you may be able to avoid or minimize, in a legal way, any taxes your estate or your family may owe;
- Make special provisions, perhaps by means of a trust, for the care of your minor children or some other family members who may have special needs;
- In general, avoid many problems which can occur if you die without a valid will.
(Source: Utah State Bar)
Should I Make a Will?
Every adult who is in possession of property or who has a spouse and/or children should consider writing a will. You do not have to have a large estate to prepare a will. Anyone owning "personal property" such as cash, stocks, or "real property" such as a home or land, should prepare a will. Additionally, preparing a proper will may help reduce future expenses such as taxes.
What if I Die Without a Will?
If you have passed away without a will, you are said to have died "intestate". Your property will be divided up according to a formula fixed by law and the court will designate an administrator to handle your affairs. Following payment of taxes, debts, funeral and administrative costs, the remaining property will be divided among the surviving spouse, children, and relatives.
Who Should Prepare my Will?
You may prepare your own, handwritten will. This will is called a "holographic will". A witness is not needed, but you must sign the will. However, due to the complex nature of laws surrounding wills, it may be a good idea to have the assistance of a lawyer. If you have a simple will, the costs should be relatively low.
Can I Change my Will?
Yes, the original creator of the will may revoke or change it at any time. Changes are often made by a document called a "codicil" which is a supplement to the will. In order to make sure the changes have been legally made, you may wish to consult with an attorney.
When Should I Consider Changing My Will?
Certain circumstances may necessitate the changing of a will. These may include:
- Family changes such as new births, marriages, or deaths.
- Considerable changes occurring in the amount or type of property you possess.
- Changing tax laws.
- The inability of your designated executor to serve as such.
Do I Need a Lawyer?
Although it is possible to make a perfectly valid and effective will by yourself, most people should consider hiring an attorney to draft their will. In addition to insuring that the will is valid, attorneys are frequently able to assist clients with the following:
- Improving their estate plan by suggesting alternatives or considerations that might otherwise be overlooked.
- Avoiding problems caused by unclear language.
- Reducing or eliminating challenges on the grounds of undue influence, fraud, or forgery.
- Furthermore, the services of an attorney to prepare a simple will are not expensive. Where tax planning considerations, a need for detailed instructions, or special problems are not present, a simple will can be obtained for a fee of approximately $150.00 to $300.00, which is a small price to pay for the additional security of professional assistance. Where tax planning considerations, a need for detailed instructions or special problems do exist, the cost will be higher, but so will the benefits. Tax savings alone can frequently pay all the attorney fees.
Note: An attorney should be consulted where:
- The gross value of your estate, including life insurance, employer death benefits, and anything you might inherit from your spouse or others, exceeds $600,000.
- Where one or more of your heirs may have trouble managing their affairs due to age, infirmity, improvidence, lack of training, or simply lack of desire.
- Where there are businesses or partnerships involved.
- Where there might be substantial conflict among the heirs.
- Where there are any other unusual or bothersome circumstances.
(Source: Utah State Bar)
How-To: Make a Will
Be advised that an attorney may help you avoid confusion as well as inform you of your options when making a will. Generally, your will should:
- Identify itself as a will
- Expressly revoke all previous wills and codicils (Even if there are none)
- Appoint a personal representative
- Appoint a guardian where minor children are (Or may be) involved
- Provide a formula or method for distributing your property.
Your will may also want to include information such as:
- Provisions leaving specific items to specific people
- Wishes concerning funeral and burial arrangements
- Waiving of any requirement of a bond for the personal representative
(Source: Utah State Bar)
Additionally, the will should be signed by the testator (The person making the will) or in the testator's name by an individual in the testator's presence. It should also be signed by a minimum of two individuals who have signed after witnessing either the signing of the will or the testator's acknowledgement of the will. For more details on these and other requirements, please refer to Utah Uniform Probate Code: 75-2-501.

The Canisius College men's lacrosse team couldn't overcome a 5-0 second-half run by Albany as the Great Danes edged the Griffs, 12-11, on Saturday afternoon at the Demske Sports Complex. The Griffs are still in search of their first victory of the season at 0-4, while Albany improves to 3-2.
"We're not getting the results that we're looking for but we're definitely getting better as a team," said Canisius head coach Randy Mearns. "For us, it's the little things that are costing us right now. It's all heart out there and there is some good chemistry, but at the end of the day, we have to take care of the little things to be more successful."
Sophomore Tim Edwards and senior Mike Moran both had career days for the Griffs. Edwards set career highs with seven points and five goals, including each of the last three Canisius tallies as the team attempted a comeback. Moran dominated the faceoff X for the Griffs, winning 20-of-25 restarts. His 20 faceoff wins are the most in the program's history, surpassing the previous record of 18, while the senior also set a career high with 12 ground balls.
Sophomore Brandon Bull added two goals for the Griffs with senior Kevin Lalley, junior Cody Soberanes, sophomore Austin Romantic and freshman Vince Gravino each adding a tally.
Senior Nick Carrasco anchored the team's defensive effort on the day, recording 16 saves in his first collegiate start.
The teams traded goals three times to start the game until a strong finish to the first half gave the Griffs the advantage. Trailing 3-2, Lalley netted his second goal of the season off a feed from sophomore Cody Gould to tie the contest with 7:33 remaining in the half. Bull then gave the Griffs their first lead of the game with his first of the day with 4:04 left before Edwards finished the scoring with his second score of the afternoon as the teams headed into the intermission with Canisius leading, 5-3.
The Great Danes quickly erased the lead with two goals in the first 3:09 of the second half but the Griffs answered right back. Just 36 seconds following the game-tying tally, Gravino scored an unassisted goal as Canisius reclaimed its lead, 6-5. The Great Danes were also called for a penalty on the goal and the Griffs took advantage when Bull scored off a feed from Edwards for the 7-5 lead with 10:23 remaining in the third quarter.
Albany, however, would take the lead with a 5-0 run and never give it back. The Great Danes scored the final four goals of the third quarter and the first of the fourth for a 10-7 advantage with 11:13 remaining in regulation.
Edwards and the Griffs did not give up, however, and nearly pulled off the comeback. The sophomore set up Soberanes for the first goal of his career to end the Albany run and Edwards then scored an unassisted goal with 9:11 remaining to bring Canisius within one, 10-9. Will Stenberg gave the Great Danes back their two-goal advantage but Edwards scored another unassisted goal with 4:48 left for the 11-10 score. However, once again Albany answered when Ty Thompson gave the Great Danes a 12-10 lead with just 97 seconds remaining.
The Griffs won the faceoff following Thompson's goal and the Great Danes elected to face guard Edwards and deny the sophomore the ball. Canisius burned its final timeout of the game and off the restart, Edwards started with the ball behind the cage, ran out front and scored a great goal on a turnaround with a defender in his face to cut the deficit to one, 12-11. Albany, however, would win the ensuing faceoff and burn the clock to seal the victory.
Albany finished the game with a 42-34 advantage in shots with the Griffs winning 22-of-27 faceoffs on the day. The Griffs also collected 40 ground balls to 32 for the Great Danes.
Ty Thompson led Albany with four points and three goals in the winning effort, while Blaze Riorden recorded eight saves in net.
The Griffs continue non-conference action on Tuesday with a road game at Hobart. The contest is slated to start at 7 p.m.
Game Notes: Five times a Canisius player previously won 18 faceoffs in a game (Bill Reighter, vs. Siena, 4/16/93; Mark Miyashita - vs. Quinnipiac, 3/26/00; vs. Providence, 3/12/00; vs. Siena, 4/16/00; Tim Rowley, vs. Saint Joseph's, 4/14/07) ... The series between the two schools is now tied at one with the road team winning each contest ... Edwards' previous career highs were four points and three goals ... Moran, who spent one season at Albany, topped career highs of 14 faceoff wins and 11 ground balls against Marist last season ... Canisius last won 20 faceoffs as a team on April 21, 2007 against Mount St. Mary's ... Canisius is being outscored by 17 goals in the second half (33-16), compared to only four goals in the first half (18-14).

Just a about month ago, we were talking about Chris Ivory 's desire to be a three-down running back, and the possibility that Santonio Holmes could miss at least the first four weeks of the regular season. Well, the regular season is nigh, and things have changed. For one, it is Bilal Powell who is listed atop the Jets' depth chart at running back. Ivory is second.
Holmes is also listed as a starter for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. He is coming off of a severe Lisfranc fracture and foot surgery.
Fantasy Analysis:
Ivory battled a hamstring injury for most of training camp, but he should be the Jets' lead runner in time. It seems like head coach Rex Ryan will begin the season with a backfield committee. Oh, boy.
You might forget that Holmes was pretty good even with Mark Sanchez under center last year. He caught 16 passes for 243 yards and a score in three games before suffering his foot injury in Week 4. I don't know what he'll do with Geno Smith , but Holmes should be his No. 1 target. Holmes is available in a lot of leagues and doesn't hold much value right now, but he bears watching.

So I want you all to take a moment with me and think a little bit different about the way we've all been approaching attaching the armor to the vest. I know there's been about a half a dozen ways to do this, but I've always thought that there has to be another way that might be a little easier and less time consuming...so of course I thought - MAGNETS
I know, I know you're probably thinking "How in the heck can you make that work?" Well, let me now show you ;)
I went online and found some really strong (probably even too strong) magnets that will fit right inside the armor.
(Here are the two websites I use mainly, but I'm sure there are a lot others -
http://apexmagnets.com/ and http://www.magnet4less.com/)
These are 12-16 pounders if I remember correctly, but after doing this I can honestly say that you'll easily get away with using 5-7 pounders if you decide to go this route...
After that, I attached 5 to each chest plate and 6 to the ab....with the corresponding pieces, that comes to a total of 22 magnets!
I used some trusty Devcon plastic welder and they're not comin' off! (or your adhesive of choice)
Sanded down the areas first of course
After that was done, all I had to do was line it up on the vest and throw the magnets on the back of it. The best part is that if it's not lined up, you can just move them around a little to exactly where you need them and you're not having to mangle the vest or sew anything or punch holes or anything! (vest courtesy of LSFU). Also, if you want to wash your vest, you just need to take them off. Now there is one catch though, I won't be able to do the collar this way because of the way it likes to pull back towards your throat and the magnets won't prevent that, they'll just slide (note - I haven't actually tried that with magnets, just assuming here)...that piece will have to be done with either snaps or, in this case, I'll be doing mine with bolts. Pics below
I did run into some issues with the magnets that I didn't think through enough (which is why I'm showing you here so you don't have the same problem) but I got that part figured out. They were actually SO strong that they were pulling the armor over itself. I thought I was really screwed until I came up with a rather simple solution...just cut out some pieces of thin metal to stabilize the magnets between the plates and keep them from grabbing onto each other.
Here's what I did for the collar seeing as how magnets would likely just slide and not keep the collar from pulling back choking me
Now for the pros and cons of doing it this way -
The bad news, these were EXPENSIVE, running me right around just under $100 with shipping (Note - you can probably save quite a few bucks by going with a lower pull strength as magnets seemed to be priced depending on that. I went overkill on these pull strengths (10lbs). 5-7lbs [and 2-4 for the diamond] in smaller sizes should be more than enough to hold the armor on the vest)
The good news, you will only ever do this one time and they won't EVER wear out and you won't have to do anything to the vest itself, keeping it in better shape for a longer period of time. Plus it took me only about 20 minutes to do this.

Up close and personal with Cecal Poo!!!
January 02, 2010, 10:08:18 PM »
Picture Oprah, when she announces an important visitor to her show, well I'm announcing "cecal poo"!!! Just like she does, smiling that big smile.
Ever smelled cecal poo? Cecal poo is a particular type of chicken poo, hee, hee. Probably many have had this pleasure (kidding, it is not nice), and many have not -- I would suspect most have not ever had that encounter, in any form, smiling. It is the worst of the worst. I think it is even more worse than that of the brooding hen or duck, ich.
Well, if you are feint of heart, I would suggest that you do not read any further. Caught your attention yet?
I am a very basic, down-to-earth type gal, nothing bothers me (well, vomit does). I can do many things that many people cannot do, like go down to the basement suite every morning and clean up all the poo from my 3 different ages of chicks. This is a morning routine (and my Husband helps too), so that we have the ability to keep our chicks in our house for some time. I must take a moment in this fleeting point in time, to explain something. Or should I say to recount some opinions.
I have had many people to visit us over the festive season. And every single one has had the desire to come and see what their sibling/cousin/auntie, call me what you will, has been up to in the basement with raising so many chicks. Not a single person has not left that area without an enormous smile on their face. They have had a wonderful experience. The experience of seeing how nice little chickies can be. And they are friendly little boys and girls. I have asked each and every one if there is any detection of any not-so-nice smell. Narry a one has said that there was any other scent than that of nice. Some even likened it to a walk in a forest of a warm spring day. You know those days, those days when the saps are beginning to run again, the scent of the forest, that smell of the pines and many other conifers and evergreens. It is a beautiful scent, the smell of fresh. Well, shiver me timbers.....that is what my basement smells like. Very nice, very clean and full of little baby chicks, all looking up at ya and wondering what in the devil you are going to do today. Some may turn their noses to what I am up to, some will think me a little off the wall, some will give me the thumbs up. That doesn't matter to me, I just want to share my little story. Right, where was I, before I began this convoluted story.....right....cecal poo!!!
This late afternoon, shortly before it was time to go to the great outdoors to close in my chicken houses for the night. I decided to pay the chicks a visit, as I do every day, many times. They are my babies, smiling and they really need lots of mummy attentions.
I was in with the now-6-week old chicks, only four of them. The Australorpe decided it would be the first to give me some attention. I smile as it jumps onto my back, and I am kneeling on my bended knees, greeting them up close and personal, they like that. I was removing some of the poo so that I would not kneel in it. Not much in there really, it had already had every single piece already picked up earlier. The hardwood shavings are nice, they absorb moisture and never once has my hand become ichy with manure. Oh rats, ramblin'.....sorry, these things I cannot help at times. My Husband is speaking to the other littler ones, 6 days old now. I feel something warm on my back. Rats again. Don't they know better. But this is not that normal, beautiful little chick poo, you know, the ones that are like a short fat worm, very short worm, with a dollop of grey on top, smiling. It is that cecal poo, that horrible, stinky cecal poo that looks nothing like the nice poos, but nothing short of how I would describe (and have heard it also described as, so I may be copying a little) -- butterscotch pudding. Eeeeks!!! My Husband wipes off this nasty, horrible stinky stuff (this really does not smell anything like what a "regular" poo smells like). I carry on to greet and hang out with the birds. A few minutes pass, it is time now to go. But wait, I can still smell this cecal poo. How? I reach to my back to feel if he forgot some, yep, on the other shoulder too, no wonder. He wipes it off, it is gone, but it still smells. No. Could not be in my hair could it? Feel the bottom part of my hair, ich, kind of sticky, and now my hand is smelly. Oh brother, just a day in the life. I will shower after I put the adult chickens away.
I walk out to the chicken houses, I can still smell this cecal poo, I know it has a tiny portion stuck in my hair, really smelly. I am now almost gagging, thinking about this cecal poo in my hair, I feel faint, smiling. OK girl, be tough, it can't be that bad, it is only cecal poo. It is only chick crumbles, nothing else, it could be worse. I am still smelling this smell. Well, of course, it is in my hair. With thoughts of horror running through my mind of the smell of this cecal poo, I finish up. As quickly as I can, I head up to our house, and then the shower. I wonder why it smells so bad. I had to wash my hair more than the usual time to get the beautiful aroma of cecal poo removed, but now as I sit, telling my tale, my hair smells nice, no cecal poo. Have that most wonderful and beautiful day, to love with that wonderful health. Cindi
By the way. I know a little bit about cecal poo. Wanna hear? I'll tell you anyways, like it or not, smiling that big smile. I will actually direct quote from some stuff that I was reading....
WikiAnswers says:
The ceca contains bacteria that break down anything in the feed that the chicken itself could not break down in its stomach.
Cecum. A blind pouch at the juncture of the small and large intestine (resembles the human appendix); plural: ceca.
Here is another explanation of what the cecum do/es. Copied from the below pdf file. I really and totally now understand why this stuff stinks SO BAD!!!!
Cecal functioning is still only partly understood (McNab 1973, Braun and Duke 1989). Although early investigations searched for a single function of the organ, it is now clear that the cecum has the potential to act in many different ways. And depending on the species involved, the cecal morphology, and the ecological conditions under which a bird lives, those functions can be vitally important to its physiology-perhaps especially so during periods of stress. It is also apparent that the avian cecum can function in a highly efficient manner, even more efficiently than the cecum of most mammalian herbivores in terms of size and fermentation rates
(Gasaway 1976b).
The intestinal type of cecum in birds is a blind-ended sac with a meshwork of long interdigitating villi at its entrance. The majority of cecal villi apparently act as a sieve, allowing fluid and fine particles to enter the cecal lumen as colonic contents are pushed against and selectively past the cecal sphincter by retrograde waves of colonic muscle contraction (Fenna and Boag 1974a). At the same time, this material is prevented from moving up into the ileum by the contracted ileal sphincter. The colonic motility probably also rinses water-soluble substances and fine particles from the colonic contents and pushes them into the ceca (Bjornhag 1989). Because a cecum is blind-ended, its contents can be retained for longer periods than would be possible in the main (small or large) intestine through which digesta move relatively rapidly (e.g., Shibata and Sogou 1982, Clench and Mathias 1992). Held in the ceca, fluid has time to be absorbed and molecules in solution as well as solid particles can be acted on by bacteria, fungi, and other micro-organisms (Duke 1986b). It is also now appreciated that the mixing action produced by cecal wall contractions keeps the contents in general motion; cecal motility also contributes to filling and evacuating the organ (Duke 1986a, Clench and Mathias, unpubl. data). Thus, at different times and under different conditions, the cecum has been found to be a site for fermentation and further digestion of food (especially for breakdown of cellulose), for utilization and absorption of water and nitrogenous components, for microbial action of both beneficial and disease-causing organisms, and as a site for production of immunoglobulins and antibodies.
Study subjects.-Much of what is known about cecal physiology is based on studies of gallinaceous birds and waterfowl: the intestinal type of cecum. These birds (and their ceca) are large enough to study easily. Domestic and semidomestic species (chickens, quail, pheasants; domestic ducks and geese) also are readily available, they are behaviorally more amenable to manipulation, and their economic importance leads to research funding. Unfortunately, however, most domestic birds (notably chickens) have proved to be exceptionally poor models for the study of cecal function. This is probably because, through the genetic changes resulting from domestication, and the almost universal use of commercial, nutritionally complete, poultry feed (even "enhanced" with antibiotics), the average chicken cecum has lost much or all of its natural microflora and -fauna and its potential physiological capabilities (Thomas 1987). A chicken fed on whole natural grains that require more "digestion" produces results more like those from wild birds (unpubl. data). A cecectomized chicken seldom differs significantly from the intact bird in growth or other physiologic indicators (Thornburn and Willcox, 1965). Consequently, older literature abounds with contradictory and confusing reports based on studies of domestic fowl (McNab 1973). A clearer picture of natural cecal function is only now beginning to emerge.
If you want to know even more about the cecum/al of the avian type, this is a really good link.

This is the part of chicken keeping I am not attracted to. Wonder if JP has had this experience yet.
So basically the poo is kept inside longer and bacteria forms. Is this correct?

I've heard the term cecal droppings mentioned here before:
All I know is that some are kinda nasty smelling, and I guess Cindi got blasted with a dose of the worst.
Glad you cleaned up nice for Ken Cindi, or you'd be sleeping outside with your ducks. Perhaps the cecal poo could attract Whoppo???

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki blasted the American military commander in Iraq for some recent comments in which he said Iran was engaged in a campaign to bribe Iraqi lawmakers to vote against a security agreement that was being negotiated between Iraq and the United States. "The American commander has risked his position when he spoke in this tone and has regrettably complicated relations." Maliki referred to the US general as "good and kind" but was infuriated an American was interfering in the internal affairs of another nation. General Ray Odierno is undoubtedly reflecting the views of President Bush and the State Department.
Many current Iraqi leaders spent time in Iran when they were in exile due to fear of being killed by Saddam Hussein. They share the Shiite religion and have many other commonalities. Ordierno admitted he had no definitive proof of his charge but insisted "there are many intelligence reports" about Iranian bribes to Iraqi politicians.
There are times when silence is golden. If America has proof of the bribery, the first place to go is the office of the prime minister.

Admission to graduate studies is based on the academic qualifications of the applicant and is granted without regard to race, color, religion, sex or disability.
Regardless of the purpose for which you plan to take graduate courses, you must file an application for admission to graduate studies. A formal letter indicating your admission status is issued when your application is completed. File your application with the Office of Graduate Services early during the semester immediately preceding actual enrollment in graduate classes.
You may submit the application for admission with the registration course request form for that particular semester or summer session. It should be understood, however, that if you seek a degree and have not been fully admitted, or have not developed an approved study plan (in programs where study plans are required), you have no guarantee that the courses taken prior to admission will be accepted into the Master's program. You must complete the admission process in its entirety prior to completing the first semester of courses or you will not be permitted to register for additional courses.
Your admission is valid for the entire time of graduate study provided you register for at least one course during an 18-month period. Should 18 months elapse since you registered for a course, you must submit a request to the Office of Graduate Services to be readmitted before you may register again.
Applicants for graduate study are assigned to one of the following categories: degree program admission, provisional status or non-degree status.
Degree Program Admission
You may be granted degree program admission if you have a strong undergraduate academic record and appear to have potential for successful completion of a graduate program. Degree program admission is based on the following criteria:
1. Each graduate program has specific admission requirements, which are detailed in the sections of the catalog devoted to these programs.
2. Completion of an application for admission to graduate study as a degree program student.
3. Submission of official transcripts of all previous graduate work and a transcript certifying the completion of a baccalaureate degree. This official transcript must be sent directly to the Office of Graduate Services from the degree-granting institution.
4. If you have previously completed a graduate degree, but have not taken the GRE (Graduate Record Examination) or MAT (Miller Analogies Test), you may be eligible to have the GRE or MAT requirement waived. The GRE or MAT may be waived if you have successfully completed a graduate degree with a minimum 3.5 cumulative grade point average. The Graduate Program Coordinator of the program to which you are applying will determine the relevancy of previous graduate degrees in making the decision to waive the GRE or MAT requirements.
Provisional status allows you to enroll in graduate courses in order to qualify for admission to a degree program.
You may be granted provisional status if denied unconditional admission due to (1) less than the minimum grade point average required for admission to the program to which you are applying; (2) baccalaureate degree not from a regionally accredited college or university; or (3) undergraduate course deficiencies.
If you are assigned provisional status, you must construct a special study plan of 9 to 15 credits approved by your advisor. After completing the 9-15 credits, you must apply to the Graduate Program Coordinator for a change of status. You must achieve a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.0 in order to apply for a change of status to degree program admission.
You may be assigned non-degree status if you wish to apply for graduate study but do not wish to work toward a graduate degree. This category usually includes students who wish to take courses for professional development, for transfer to another institution, or for maintaining certification in the field of education. Non-degree status is based on the following requirements:
1. Completion of the baccalaureate degree at a regionally accredited institution of higher education.
2. Submission of an official transcript certifying the completion of a baccalaureate degree. This official transcript must be sent directly to the Office of Graduate Services from the degree-granting institution.

More than five days have passed since anyone last saw Jeremy J. Lindsay, 23, and Radcliff police say they have received no new leads since releasing information Monday about his disappearance to the media.
According to police, Lindsay was last seen around 4 p.m. Thursday leaving his Radcliff residence following an argument with his wife, who reported his absence to Radcliff Police Department. There has been no communication from Lindsay to family or friends, police say.
Since his disappearance, Lindsay has not appeared for work, said Bryce Shumate, RPD spokesman.
Police believe Lindsay could be a danger to himself following Thursday afternoon's argument, Shumate said.
"(The family) is afraid he's so distraught he is going to harm himself," he said.
Another concern, Shumate added, is Lindsay's access to money is "extremely limited."
According to Shumate, Lindsay does not have any emergency medical needs.
Police describe Lindsay as 5-foot-11 and weighing 160 pounds. He was last seen wearing a pink T-shirt, blue jeans and brown tennis shoes.
He is believed to be driving a white 2001 Ford Escort bearing Kentucky license plate 335-CDC, according to police.
Anyone with information about Lindsay's whereabouts is encouraged to call Radcliff Police Department at (270) 351-4477 or (270) 351-TIPS.
Sarah Bennett can be reached at (270) 505-1750 or email@example.com.

I were playing this game a year ago and it was all ways crowded. Is it still like that or has it been fixed?
nope. still like that, I want to get back on but can't, the guys at Joymax aren't doing anything about it though, no new servers planned.
It's like they're not bothered about getting new people online.
I thought everybody understood how this game works.
Silkroad knows there are not enough slots for the amount of players active in game. It's a way to make you pay...
Most f2p game use xp pots or scrolls, silkroad makes money with priority on slots.

The BYU women's gymnastics team seeks a repeat of 2005 when the Cougars earned a spot in the NCAA Championships and finished 11th in the nation.
First, however, BYU needs to do well in Saturday's NCAA regional meet in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The meet is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. (MDT)
"Everyone is feeling pretty good. It should be a great meet," BYU coach Brad Cattermole said. "The girls have been practicing hard and they look good. They've worked hard to qualify and we'll go and hopefully do well and see what happens."
BYU, at the site of defending national champion, No. 3 Alabama, will compete with No. 9 Utah, No. 15 Denver, No. 23 Kent State and Iowa State. The top two teams will advance to the NCAA Championships, held April 19-21 in Los Angeles. Five other regional sites with six teams each will also compete on April 6 to field the teams for the championships.
"The goal is always to hit all of your routines," Cattermole said. "We'll count it up at the end and see how it matches up."
This season, BYU has a high score of 195.875. The team has posted top team scores of 49.125. on vault, 49.075 on bars, 49.050 on beam and 49.250 on floor.

I am an Australian man in my late 40s. I have a 20 year old business diploma from an Australian vocational institute (equal to 2 years of study although I did it part time over 4 years) and a TESOL.
Five years ago I was retrenched from my job in Australia, found it tough getting a new job, went through a divorce, came to China to teach English (1 college and 1 university) and I've been here for 3 years. The divorce left me financially weak.
I want to move on to South Korea or Taiwan to earn a higher salary. I checked out online degrees but simply couldn't afford the tuition fees from 'mainstream' universities. I settled on Clayton University of Hong Kong ( http://www.culhk.com/Index.html ) which offers a Portfolio Assessment Program. Clayton give credits for a wide variety of (minimum 4 week duration) courses undertaken during one's life.
I had to give Clayton copies of my high school certificate and college diploma. I was evaluated as having to do 6 out of 22 subjects to get a degree in accounting & finance. I am actually studying and I am required to submit assignments and papers. Also, I have a local mentor.
It was recently suggested to me that a degree from Clayton University will not be recognized in South Korea or Taiwan. How and where can I find out?
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for some helpful and informative replies.

Have you checked out the GunnersGaming Football Predictor yet? Want to know who is going to win? What the score will be? Or who will score? Check out the probability of all the outcomes to help you predict what will happen!
Thanks to our comprehensive football database and data visualisation software we are able to use a complex algorithm to scientifically predict the probability of all the potential eventualities.
West Bromwich Albion v Arsenal
Sunday is the final day of the season and there is still so much at stake at the top and bottom of the league. Arsenal know that all three points are required at The Hawthorns if they want to guarantee Champions League football next season.
After four games without a win it is no surprise that The Football Predictor thinks it could be touch and go - it gives the Gunners just a 40 per cent chance of securing the win (at 4/6). While that gives Arsenal the slight edge, The Predictor has 1-1 (at 5/1) as the most likely scoreline. That would leave Arsène Wenger's side relying on slip-ups from both Tottenham and Newcastle and in serious danger of missing out.
If Arsenal are to win, The Football Predictor recommends 1-0 as the most likely outcome and is available at 6/1.
Robin van Persie will be hoping to guide his team over the line and the Dutchman is 5/2 to score that all-important first goal.

My Turn: Don't let your voice be bypassed
October 29, 2013
After attending multiple meetings with the Tahoe Transportation District since 2011 and being heavily involved in the newly titled SR 89/Fanny Bridge Community Revitalization Project, the information published by the TTD in Wednesday's Sierra Sun "Fanny Bridge gets $25.5M in federal funds" leads the public to a perception.
Based on the project titles, the public would be lead to have the perception that our struggling community core is going to be revitalized and that Fanny Bridge is going to be repaired to meet the current seismic code requirements.
Well if you don't go to the TTD website for "the rest of the story," you may be in for a surprise when you drive along Highway 89 from Squaw to Tahoe City and see a massive concrete bridge located near the Caltrans yard that welcomes you to Tahoe City — the "Gateway to the Lake."
For West Shore travelers, they won't even see the lake until they get to Hurricane Bay. All of the current alternatives do include upgrading Fanny Bridge, unless the no-build alternative is selected. It's the "rest of the story" that I am worried about.
In 2011 there were four alternatives presented by the TTD all of which include a four-lane, elevated 80-foot (+/-) wide concrete bridge over the Truckee River Corridor with Highway 89 being rerouted through 64 Acres.
Also included in all of the original four alternatives are two roundabouts; one at the Caltrans yard and the second near Bank of the West. Based on input from the Tahoe City businesses and area residents, Alternatives 6 and 6A were prepared.
Alternate 6A replaces the existing traffic signal at the "Wye" with a roundabout. The TTD and their design engineer have since rejected Alternatives 6 and 6A based on lack of constructability.
My conversations with representatives from Caltrans and the Bureau of Reclamation indicate contrary information on the possibility of constructability. Based on further persistence from members of the community, Alternates 6 and 6A are being reconsidered; however, the odds are against us.
Sixty-six percent of the current alternates include a designed bypass which will route all of the west shore vehicles away from the Tahoe City business community.
Based on the information provided by the TTD, the information makes our community sound like Sacramento grid lock, with peak times lasting for months and Fanny Bridge pedestrians and bicyclists in danger of their safety.
The addition of paved surfaces, roundabouts and a bypass bridge through 64 Acres may not be the answer. Urban traffic studies for environmentally sensitive areas, like Tahoe, do not recommend increasing the paved surface network (i.e. bypass to handle peak traffic flows which only occur at occasional times).
Higher levels of traffic service in urban areas tend to necessitate the widening of roads, thus discouraging use of bicycles, walking or transit services. We need to give our community and visitors an incentive to use alternate forms of transportation instead of accommodating the use of an automobile by paving more of the basin.
Please review the TTD website at http://www.tahoetransportation.org for the "rest of the story" and let your voice be heard at the next Citizens Review Committee meeting scheduled for 1 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30, at the Fairway Community Center in Tahoe City.
