More than 110,000 people dead. Seven million individuals displaced from their homes. Three and a half million child refugees. Multiple assaults with chemical weapons.
These are the grim statistics that define the Syrian conflict. What began as peaceful demonstrations on March 15, 2011 has devolved into a human tragedy of epic proportions that has stymied the international community.
How to end the brutal civil war is far from evident. This, at least, was the dismal conclusion of experts who discussed the conflict at the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum last night (September 24). "The Syrian Tragedy: Ending the Bloodshed" was moderated by Meghan O'Sullivan, Jeane Kirkpatrick Professor of the Practice of International Affairs at HKS.
Frederic Hof, a senior fellow with at the Atlantic Council, noted that a political situation, while possible, is not likely under current circumstances. "According to the US and the EU, the only way forward is a negotiated settlement," said Hof. "But Russia and Syria aren't buying it."
"It's too soon to tell if Assad is a winner or loser" after the proposed chemical weapons deal, said Mona Yacoubian MPA 1989, a senior adviser at the Stimson Center.
Joseph Bahout, professor of Middle Eastern studies at Sciences Po Paris, emphasized that the proposed disposal of Syria's chemical weapons needs to be considered separately from the idea of a political solution to the civil war.
"If we solve for the chemical weapons, we don't solve the Syrian problem," he said. "A political solution, while desirable, seems impossible," he said.
Yacoubian was a bit more optimistic, noting that without a diplomatic solution Syria faces the possibility of several more years of conflict. But whether the situation on the ground can be shifted with mere diplomacy is an open question.
Panelists agreed on the need for a broader strategy. Hof noted that the United States has "no systematic methodology for defining the objectives of the US or creating a strategy to achieve these objectives."
The most poignant question from the audience, though, dealt with a core issue: what can the average person in the United States do to help the millions of suffering Syrian civilians? Panelists suggested that citizens donate to humanitarian groups dedicated to helping the refugees, especially ones that educate the millions of refugee Syrian children.
As Bahout said, "We need to offer the children something other than violence."

Joel Campbell's next challenge is to add consistency to his game, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal striker has been on loan with French side Lorient since joining the Club from Deportivo Saprissa last summer and has managed three goals in seven Ligue 1 starts.
Campbell made headlines this week with the winning goal for Costa Rica against Wales in the Gary Speed Memorial Match and Wenger is happy with how the 19-year-old is developing.
"He shows good talent," the manager told Arsenal Player.
"He lacks consistency and that is where he learns his job at the moment. To be a professional is a job and that's what he has to learn."
Watch the full interview with Wenger on Arsenal Player.

NEWS: 2017 Gregg Olson AwarD FINALISTS NAMED
The Gregg Olson Award presented by Toolshed Sports, is an honor to be presented to college baseball's breakout player of the year. The annual award is given to a top amateur baseball player who elevates his game to an elite level throughout the season.
After a freshman season at Auburn filled with only mixed success, Gregg Olson became one of the top collegiate players in the nation during an outstanding, unprecedented sophomore season. Despite being omitted from any preseason All American lists, Olson went on to lead the entire nation in ERA with a 1.26 mark and compiled an incredible 11-1 record with 10 saves for the Tigers.
Following a summer pitching for the USA National Team where he lead the club in strikeouts, Olson returned to Auburn for another spectacular season. He led the SEC with a 2.00 ERA and amassed a triple-digit strikeout total, issuing 113 K's in only 72 innings with only 27 walks. He finished his collegiate career with back-to-back First Team All American honors, a 25-7 record, 3.03 ERA, 20 saves, 271 strikeouts and redefined the way college coaches used their top pitcher.
Olson went on to be selected in the first round of the 1988 MLB draft by the Baltimore Orioles where he made an immediate impact. He won the 1989 American League Rookie of the Year Award and was named to the All Star team in just his second season in the major leagues. In a 14-year career as a reliever, Olson compiled 217 saves with a 40-39 record, 588 strikeouts, and a 3.46 ERA in 672 innings pitched.
The Olson Award has been developed to honor college baseball's success stories and showcase players like Olson who have raised the level of their game through hard work, strength of mind and determination. Eligible players will be those who are omitted from major publication's preseason All American prognostications; however by the end of the season their on the field performance will demonstrate that they are among the top amateur baseball players in the nation.

If a large train is a Choooooo-Chooooo, this is a Choo-Choo.
Baby, it's cold outside! Which is an excellent reason to stay inside and play with some toys, or maybe learn about science, or perhaps help Mom and Dad take care of a younger sibling. Possibly you could also move all the furniture and have a big pillow fight, or color or... okay, maybe you COULD do some outdoor things at some point. Just, you know, wear a jacket or some mittens. It'll all work out fine.
Because that's the magic of January. Grey, cold, and kinda boring. One must make one's own fun, right? SO GET ON IT, PEOPLE.

rick, she's not trying to cause trouble, you have the problem of not finding the facts yourself. we wish all the parks sucess-sorry if that confuse's you.
also what was discussed in the office was since the parks are "Business's"; and you can ask wes there rick, if you allow drinking in your campground, it must be seperated from the park by a fence so as not to allow patrons entry. That is why they have their "fence" at TT, untill they get financially stable, where they have plans to fence it all off with a seperate entrance to the parking area.
And since it is a business, the DNR can enter the property to enfore the orv and plates, most times they will not unless complaints are made, just like local and state police.
As for your opinion on not being welcomed on the properety, that's only your opinion, if it's true have WES, Donny, Gary or even Dale post it on this thread, 3 of them watch what we post anyways.

and before you can post it, the above was not a threat in anyway shape or form, just what ORV and park staus quo.
and if that isn't sufficient, then join us at the district offices and hear it from the officials themselves.

What about demolition derbys? I'm surprised the DNR isn't busted those things up left and right!! And those cars are clearly in an off road circumstance, and even being erosive!
What happens if their ORV sticker is properly put on a smooth surface, and the bumper is knocked off? Do they get a ticket if they go get the bumper and explain to the DNR officer that the bumper was attached to the car at the start of the event?

So when do all of these PRIVATE parks get to apply for state grants since they now require ORV stickers?
It's like a bunch of cackling women gossiping about whatever they can whether they know jack shit about it or not.

ORV Land Use Definitions
The DNR administers over four million acres of state-owned land used for a variety of purposes. Wise use of those lands includes preserving natural features and wildlife habitat and encouraging a variety of recreational uses. Just as other users are limited in their activities in order to protect and conserve these vital resources while minimizing conflicts with other activities, ORV enthusiasts are restricted in where and how they may operate.
Signs that you may see on state roads, trails, and routes are shown on the Trail Signs page.
The following terms may be used when describing where or how ORVs may be operated on state-owned lands.
* Designated: Any place that is posted as open for ORV use with appropriate signs.
* Designated Area: An area that has signs for cross-country ORV use posted by the DNR. An ORV license is required.
* Designated Route: A forest road or other road that is designated by the DNR for ORV use.
* Forest Roads: Hard-surfaced roads, gravel or dirt roads, or other routes capable of travel by a 2‑wheel-drive, 4-wheel conventional vehicle designed for highway use, except an interstate, state, or county highway.
* Forest Trails: Designated paths or ways capable of travel only by a vehicle less than 50 inches in width.
* Highway: The entire width between the boundary lines of a way publicly maintained when any part of the way is open to the use of the public for purposes of vehicular travel.
* Designated ORV Trail: Designated paths or ways that can only be traveled by vehicles that are less than 50 inches in width. An ORV license is required.

It is really very plain and simple. The ORV laws in the state of Michigan are so filled with gray areas, that the laws are left to interpretation by the various DNR Districts. Ask two different districts the same question, you get two different answers.
After years of going to ORV Advisory meetings ( we are speaking of a period over two decades ), it has been proven over and over again that most DNR officers don't even have a clue ( not entirely their fault ), so they make up their own interpretations.
The only way you can really clarify this entire topic is to take a trip to the next ORV Advisory meeting ( Nov 4th )and find out the "Real Deal". Make sure to take your blood pressure medication before you go though, those meetings will make your blood boil.
The lawmakers DO want to eliminate four wheeling on state lands and they DO want four wheeling entirely pushed off into private off road parks. They CANNOT dictate the use of ORV stickers on private off road parks without relinquishing some of their ORV dollars to the private parks, which they are NOT about to do at this time.

well Dave & julie(since were somehow on a fisrt name basis now )for not trying to cause trouble she sure spreads a lot of it around and thats not something anyone paying attention is confused about. tell us how in "researching " orv sticker facts anything about drinking in a campground at a private off road park was brought up the officers say by the way ....while we're checking orv stickers ...you brought it up to cause shit for former friends.you guys just want to get in any dig you can . The dusters probably have the good sense not to post anything about you or you will stir more shit. why dont you post some pictures of your next trip the park they ll be from the parking lot on your way out.
seems like plenty of facts posted here to make a reasonale person realize what you posted isnt right really just because a dnr officer says something is the law dosent mean it really is the law.

And wavemaker saying that there is a difference between private property and "a business". WTF, are businesses public property now?
Here I am sitting in my office of a BUSINESS which is private property. If the police came in and said they wanted to walk around (without just reason) I can, and would tell them to get the f' out of here. Not that it would ever happen (and the OCS are good people around here) but that is how ludicrous the claim is.

wow, absolutely ludicrous.
I work for a business that advertises, and allows the public onto our property to do business. Just because we are a business, it is still privately owned, and private property. Just like CC said, if a LEO wanted to come snoop around, I would tell them to GTFO. Ever been in a Bar, and seen the sign on the wall that says "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"? its there, because the bar is private property, even though it is a business. There are some exceptions, such as fire marshal inspections and whatnot, but the idea that the state could require someone to have an ORV permit, or even SOS plates on private property is a joke.
Its like running off road diesel in your truck on private property, perfectly legal until you put a tire onto a public road.

Activists feted Earth Day with a part-celebration, part-protest outside the Utah Governor's Mansion.
"People want clean air, clean energy, a clean future," said the Sierra Club's Tim Wagner, standing before a banner festooned with blue ribbons bearing messages for Gov. Gary Herbert and other state leaders.
"That's what people want. That's what people are demanding."
The daylong event organized by the Sierra Club's Utah Chapter and Utah Physicians for Healthy Environment was one of dozens honoring the 44th Earth Day. Another event was the Salt Lake County Health Department's Earth Day Festival, where grade-schoolers learned about solar-powered ovens, recycling and other environmentally friendly practices.
At the protest, speakers at a morning news conference mentioned a range of environmental issues, from advocating clean-car regulations to protecting wildlife habitat, relocating Refinery Row, mining fossil fuels and dealing with the effects of a changing climate on the water supply in the nation's second-driest state.
"We know exactly what to do," said Matt Pacenza, of Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah (HEAL).
He pointed to new clean-vehicle standards proposed last month by the Obama administration that will cut tailpipe pollution dramatically, including 80 percent of nitrogen oxides and 70 percent of the fine-particle pollution blamed for northern Utah's winter smog problem. Pacenza called on Herbert to endorse the new standards.
Kirk Robinson, of the Western Wildlife Conservancy, said fragmentation of habitat threatens species that need to move because of the ecological shifts brought about by climate change. If steps aren't taken to protect habitat networks, he said, "our whole world will become impoverished as a result."
Cecily Price-Huish, who lives near Refinery Row in Davis County, criticized state leaders for allowing refineries to expand when they already pollute so much.
"I'm here today to ask our governor and our administrative bodies to be more responsive," she said.
"If they are thinking about moving some large body, some large entity, maybe they ought to think about moving the refineries in the name of public health instead of moving our prison to benefit a few real estate developers."

Craft paper candle holders
Turn eye-catching craft papers into festive bases for pillar candles in six easy steps:
1. Have a piece of lumber cut down to your desired candleholder size. We started with a 4-foot 4-by-4 (more than enough to make 8 to 10 candle- holders from 3 to 6 inches tall).
2. Sand edges of cut sides.
3. Measure and cut a piece of craft paper to wrap around all four sides of the pillar lengthwise. Trace around the bottom of the pillar for a square piece of paper to cover the top.
4. Standing the pillar upright, use a brush to cover the four sides with a thin coat of matte-finish Mod Podge or decoupage glue (available at most art and craft stores) and carefully adhere the paper. Smooth surfaces and let dry 15 to 20 minutes. Trim any excess paper with a razor blade.
5. Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to the top of the wood and lay your square paper to fit. Let dry.
6. Apply a thin coat of Mod Podge to seal the pillar, covering all surfaces. Dry completely, then set a candle on top.

Seems like we often have rain in Minnesota during duck/goose season, so for me keeping dry is key.
I also usually buy a huge box of hand warmers for my mittens/boots as soon as the season starts!

I finally have peaked my girlfriends interest of costuming. I tried the generic Zam or other starwars main character but she didn't like them enough to have her own suit. So on a 2 hour drive back home today I asked her millions of questions and she really got into it. She really likes the look of a classic mando but wants custom color armor, custom shaped, basically completely custom to the point and I quote "you wouldn't suspect it would be from starwars, but you also would have this hunch that it is". I printed off a generic blank female figure and got drawing based on what she likes. Her main insperation of course was when I showed her the all white female snow fett I have seen elsewhere on the boards. She loved that suit but wants it even more custom. Well enough rambling, here is my concept of what she could do:
Ideas and opinions are welcome!

Lainey and Eric were married at Fourth Presbyterian Church followed by a reception at The Twentieth Century Club in Pittsburgh, Penn. on Mary 25. Since they are both architects, they chose their venue for it's charm. "The ballroom . . had many unique elements, including a stage, speak-easy style seating areas, and a mezzanine to overlook the whole party," Lainey said. " And to make it even better, the ballroom had mint colored accents to go along with our color scheme! The bride wore a strapless a-line wedding gown, accessorized with a statement necklace and earrings, while her bridesmaids wore peplum dresses, accessorized with clutches. Attached to the bottom of Lainey's bouquet was her "something old," which was her great-grandmother's vintage handkerchief. We loved how it was so bright with pink peonies, yellow craspedia, orange ranunculuses, and sage green dusty millers! Guests were escorted to their seats with paper pinwheels. To their surprise, they found favor bags waiting for them filled with goodies. "The one moment from the wedding day that we enjoyed the most was our first dance," she said. "We danced to "The Way You Look Tonight" – a cover by Maroon 5. That dance was the first time where it felt just like us during the day, and it seemed like time slowed down for a few minutes." Just wait until you see the cake! It was decorated with rainbow sprinkles and a Lego topper.

Dover issues emergency parking ban for downtown
The emergency parking ban, which is coupled with the regular winter parking restrictions, took effect just after midnight and continues until 6 p.m. Vehicles parked downtown after 1 a.m. will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense, according to a release by the city.
Until April 1, parked vehicles must be removed from all city streets between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. - regardless of the weather or forecast - and vehicles in city lots must display a winter permit, which can be obtained for free at the police department, 24 hours a day.
Normally, owners of vehicles which remain on the streets are issued a $15 parking ticket, but during the emergency parking ban, vehicles may be parked in any city-controlled parking lot without a winter parking pass, according to a release from the city.
Parking Manager Bill Simons previously said the annual parking restrictions have been successful and enabled snow removal crews a chance to clear the streets after a storm, according to the release. The parking restrictions allow snow removal crews from Community Services crews to clear downtown streets and sidewalks and prepare for future storms.
The general area included in the emergency parking ban includes Chestnut Street to the west, Main Street to the east, Sixth Street to the north and Hale Street to the south. A map of the area included in the emergency parking ban can be found at dover.nh.gov.

Women's Team Third, Men Sixth in Challenging Midwest Open
KENOSHA, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's cross country teams turned in strong performances while participating in the 32nd annual Midwest Open hosted by UW-Parkside. The women's team finished third in the 13-team field while the men finished sixth among its 12-team field.
For the second consecutive week junior Lauren Mauel (Green Bay, Wis.) paced the way for the Phoenix with a strong third place performance. Mauel finished the 5K course in a time of 18:51, the fastest of any Horizon League runner.
Less than 30 seconds separated the next three Phoenix runners as Freshman Erica Johnson (Felch, Mich.) finished in 12th place with a time of 19:50 while Areanna Lakowske (Sparta, Wis.) was 15th crossing the line in a time of 20:04 followed by Nicole Will (Luxemburg, Wis.) in 17th with a time of 20:17.
Senior Annie Dehmlow (Forest Lake, Minn.) rounded out the top five finishers for Green Bay completing the hilly course in a time of 22:12 in 54th place. Teammates Heidi Langteau (Stetsonville, Wis.) and Lindsy Cook (Rhinelander, Wis.) finished in 55th and 56th place respectively.
The women combined for 101 total points, 31 points behind in-state Horizon League rival UW-Milwaukee who finished in second. Host UW-Parkside won the team title scoring 37 points.
On the men's side sophomore Alex Kimble (Green Bay, Wis.) was the top finisher for the Phoenix. Kimble crossed the line in 17th place with a time of 27:38. Teammate Josh Clark (Gillett, Wis.) finished in 26th place with a time of 28:12.
Just 20 seconds separated Green Bay's next three runners to round out the top five. Junior Stephen Wagner (Seymour, Wis.) crossed the line in 40th place with a time of 28:53 followed by freshman Andrew Sorenson (Onalaska, Wis.) in 43rd place with a time of 29:04 and Erik Blomsness (Winona, Minn.) in 45th with a time of 29:13.
The men combined for 171 points, finishing in sixth place overall. Host UW-Parkside also won the men's competition while Horizon League foe UW-Milwaukee finished in third place.
Both teams will compete in their last in-state meet of the season on Sept. 17, participating in the Concordia Falcon Invite held in Mequon, Wis. at 11 a.m.

It's getting closer to the June 27th premiere date, and "Girl Meets World" just released some goodies to get the buzz going.
The Disney Channel program has debuted both the theme song and the opening credits for the long-awaited follow-up to the 1990s hit show "Boy Meets World."
Getting fans even more excited for the premiere, Disney released the official poster for "Girl Meets World" this week.
Featuring Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel as "Boy Meets World" favorites Cory and Topanga, the promo shows off the adorable new TV family.
Funny or Die has a knack for taking the unexpected and making it comical, and last month a host of stars gathered for a live table read of the 1996 flick "Space Jam."
Cory and Topanga are back in the first teaser for Disney's "Girl Meets World."
Starring 1990s sitcom "Boy Meets World's" Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel, the show focuses on the pair's characters' daughter Riley, portrayed by Rowan Blanchard.
Giving fans a glimpse of what Disney's latest all-star cast will look like, the official cast photo for "Girls Meets World" just hit the web today (April 2).
The fun photo features Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel as Cory and Topanga Matthews, centered behind Rowan Blanchard, as their daughter, Riley, along with a group of Riley's friends.
It wasn't the most compelling movie of its day, but "Space Jam" seems to have staying power all the same.
On Monday (March 24), Seth Green, Nick Kroll, Ben Schwartz and Danielle Fishel performed a table read of the movie's script as part of the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre-hosted event.
Giving children of the '90s a thrill, the "Boy Meets World" spinoff is bringing back a lot of familiar faces.
In a photo released on Tuesday (March 18), members of the cast of "Girl Meets World" sit around the dinner table with Cory and Topanga ( Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel).
It hasn't even hit the airwaves yet and already "Girl Meets World" is a huge hit in its inaugural season on the Disney Channel.
According to a report, Disney ordered an additional eight episodes of the program, bringing its initial run to a whopping 21 shows.

Tools We Use To Keep Up Appearances
If you're anything like my husband Paul, then you absolutely must have the right tools for the job.
For as long as I can remember he has been extremely proud of the fact that he owns his own home (well along with me anyway) and has always taken extreme pride in keeping our home and our garden looking like new.
In fact, we both take pride in our home, it is after all the place we live, and have regular guests making unannounced appearances. Now if you've ever watched the programme Keeping Up Appearances then you'll know all about Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet) and her long suffering husband Richard. In our case we are fairly similar, except the roles are reversed.
I don't moan about it though. I would much rather have a husband that is fussy than one that couldn't give a flying pig about anything.
So here, I just thought I'd write a few words on some of hubby's favourite tools that he uses to keep up the appearance of a tidy and well loved home.
The Lawnmower
We don't have a particularly large garden, just an average sized garden, both front and back that you might expect to find in any neighbourhood, but I must say we do like it looking neat and tidy. I mean, who doesn't like a neatly trimmed lawn?
The lawnmower that Paul uses, and has done for a little while now is the Bosch Rotak 40 Ergoflex electric rotary lawnmower. Quite a mouthful isn't it?
We have found, or rather hubby has found that it does a really nice job. It's rather a chunky beast but surprisingly isn't quite as heavy as one might think, and it does cover cut a nice cutting area.
What hubby likes about it most are the fact that it's easy to handle and move around the gardens. It's also easy to dispose of the cut grass when the large grassbox is full, and easy to put the grassbox back on. You can also change the height or your cut, simply by pulling the lever.
Our most favourite feature though is that you can cut your lawn like those you see on television of stately homes. Thanks to the rear roller, the lawns we have look really quite beautiful.
Pressure Washer
The simple pressure washer. What a tool this is.
I'll spare you the details of how many jobs about the garden and home my husband does with his pressure washer because really, there are too many to mention.
Washing the caravan and car. Ok I had to at least mention one, and this is probably the job that is most performed by pressure washer owners.
The actual pressure washer my husband uses is the Karcher K4 Eco Premium. I must admit, it makes a fine and quick job on many things, and maybe the main reason we chose it was because it had a number of very good reviews.
It certainly isn't the cheapest of pressure washers you can buy, but it isn't the most expensive either, and you do get a nice product with included accessories for the price.
The thing Peter likes most about the Karcher K4 is the ability to quickly change over attachments, and there are numerous attachments available for this model. Also it has a "plug n clean" system which is handy little feature that allows you to change from one detergent to a different detergent which is pretty useful when you want to clean one thing and then move straight on to another.
Job Done
So there you have it, just a couple of items that we use to keep our home and garden looking fab!

I wrote 2 articles for a waterfowl magazine, one got published this one never did. Thought some might like to read it. Have a great season.
The Full Circle of a Waterfowl Hunter
When I was younger in the 70s, and early 80s, the only thing I did was waterfowl hunt. If it wasn't duck season, my friend Randy and I would go on reconnaissance missions scouting ducks, seeing their numbers, and flight patterns on the local refuge that we hunted. We were two young guys sitting on the hood of a 72 Ford Maverick, drinking a cold one, watching the birds overhead and saying, " Yeah, I would of hit that one, no doubt." Even today as my wife and I go for walks in the area parks and ducks and geese fly over us, I shoulder my imaginary gun, and pull through with a "Boom." She says, "You do that every time, and shakes her head." She looks at me as if to say, you know you are getting too old to do that.
If you do something long enough you get pretty good at it. Randy and I loved duck hunting, and not to brag, but we were pretty skillful hunters. On the refuge we frequently went to, we had to pick one of the many blinds that were scattered all over and hunt within 10 feet of that blind. You could watch other hunters, and see how well their hunt was going. The blinds were first come, first serve; you parked your car in the spot for the blind you wanted. Randy and I were overzealous, and much younger back then. Some people may have just called us plain stupid. We would sleep in our car to assure we would get a good blind for the next morning's hunt.
We would sleep over at each other's house. Our parents never wanted us to leave too early when we went hunting. My mom told us to get a good night sleep and not to leave too early. Then she would go to bed. We would be reloading shotgun shells in the garage saying "Yeah mom, no problem, then about an hour later we would quietly push my car a block down the road so she wouldn't hear us leave. We would start it up, and drive off to the refuge. I can remember those cold nights sleeping in a car seat with a black lab on my lap, and waking up in the morning with a thick layer of ice inside the windows.
One day at sunset, Randy and I were walking out from our blind back to the parking lot. An older fellow hunter was waiting for us to walk out with him. Looking us over he said, " Hmm, I was expecting older guys than you two, and with better guns. But boy can you guys shoot. I knew if anything came in range of you two, there was a slim chance it would ever make it to me." He was right that day. We did have a flock of 4 blue wing teal come in, and after four quick shots, none left.
I couldn't believe he wasn't impressed with my old Winchester pump model 1200. My grandpa had a model 12 and told me I needed a Winchester pump if I was going to hunt waterfowl. I saved up $75 and bought my gun. I remember telling my grandpa it only shoots 2 ¾ inch shells, no 3 inch magnums. He laughed and said, "You don't need 3 inch magnums to kill a goose; that is crazy." It reminds me of today, over 30 years later, and guys arguing about the merits of the 3-½-inch magnums. I now have that model 12 in my safe, and I am planning to take it out this fall on some grouse and pheasant hunts in grandpa's honor.
Nobody in my family ever hunted, except my grandpa on my mom's side of the family. My mom was the one that in a weird way encouraged me to hunt. I remember one day when my older sister came over and asked what I was doing. My mom laughed, and told her that I have either painted my face green and was sitting in a tree with my bow waiting for a deer to walk by, or of course I could be duck hunting. My sister said, "That is stupid! Why do you let him do that?" Mom smiled and said, " He loves it and there is a lot worse things he could be doing. Don't worry about him."
Before I could drive, my mom would drop Randy and I off on the Bitterroot River with our decoys and shotguns. In the predawn darkness, she would say, "See you in a few hours." Mom would do what she loved to do; she would go to rummage sales. She hunted for bargains, and ducks for us. One time she picked us up and proudly said, "Look what I got you!" In the car trunk were a half dozen duck decoys and a nice wool-hunting coat. Then we would go get some cinnamon rolls or some lunch, and we would talk about our hunting adventures. Thanks to mom, I had rubber, cork, and plastic decoys. Most were mallards, but a few other species were thrown in. It was like that Dolly Parton's song called, "A Coat of Many Colors." She sings about when she was poor; her mom collected fabric and made her a coat from the different fabrics. We really weren't poor, but thanks to mom I had decoys of many colors.
My mom is no longer with us. Sometimes as I sit in my duck blind and the action is slow, I look up at the clouds wondering if she is looking down on me smiling because she knows how much I love it. I have sat in the blind with my yellow lab Miley, and have talked to mom and have told her how much I miss her. A couple of years ago, her passing was fresh in my mind. I was very sad, and started to cry. Miley, being the sweet little seven month old puppy, came over and started licking the tears off my cheeks and gave me a look like, "Don't worry they will start flying soon." Having a special hunting dog like Miley sure makes waterfowl hunting something wonderful. To see her as excited as I am anticipating how the day will unfold is something special.

I'm not a pro photographer, although I have had photos published. You can see some of my pics on the photos gallery as a guide. I think your photos are really nice. I'm not a person who likes to put a downer on people's efforts, but maybe think of drawing the viewer into the image a bit more, a focal point to really catch the eye, just a thought.

Most people will have the same router that came with their broadband package, which may be based on old wireless technology which means you may be experiencing slower speeds and poor internet signal.
...too many devices trying to connect to the same wireless network simultaneously. You can see this when you have continual buffering when you are trying to watch videos on your smart TV, smartphone/tablet or computer, especially when you have other devices surfing the web, checking e-mail or playing online games at the same time. All D-Link Wireless AC routers support dual-band wireless, operating on both the 2.4 GHz and the 5GHz wireless bands. This allows you to browse the web, chat and e-mail using the 2.4 GHz band on your smartphone and computer, while simultaneously streaming stream HD videos or playing online games on media streaming players or games console on the 5 GHz band.
...a variety of household appliances can cause wireless interference, including cordless phones, baby monitors, and microwave ovens, meaning you may experience poor network performance. The wireless network may even cut out when the microwave or cordless phone is in use.
Make sure your router is not positioned near these household appliances to help reduce interference.
The simplest solution to solving channel saturation of a broadcast frequency is to switch to another frequency. 802.11ac wireless broadcasts entirely on the 5 GHz broadcast spectrum, where there is less noise and interference from competing technologies. Moreover, there is a lot more space available in this band, allowing for up to 19 non-overlapping wireless channels compared to just three with 802.11n. Plus, those channels are wider to carry a lot more data, at 80MHz and ultimately 160MHz channels available in 802.11ac, compared to 20/40MHz with 802.11n... Giving you a seamless network at up to 4 times faster* than wireless N!
Dual-Band Wireless AC Routers have the ability to broadcast on two different frequencies: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, not only does this make it backwards compatible, but it also means that they are less prone to interference from other devices. You can browse the Internet on the 2.4GHz band while streaming HD movies on the 5GHz band and neither band gets overloaded. Dual band means less interference and faster speeds.
The way in which radio signals are transmitted is also changing. Out go omni-directional antennas, broadcasting every which way they can, in favour of "beamforming" technology which aims Wi-Fi signals directly at them. This provides a much stronger signal that is especially beneficial for mobile devices.
Routers with QoS traffic controls track the type of network traffic (web surfing, online gaming, Skype®, Netflix® and so on) and decide which application deserves higher priority. This improves your online experience by ensuring that high priority traffic like Netflix is prioritised over other network traffic ensuring the best video quality and user experience across all devices on the network.

The Gluten Phenomenon
Subclinical gluten intolerance is possibly the most undiagnosed condition that close to 50% of the population suffers from. Current research shows that only about 3% of gluten intolerant individuals ever find out that they have it. Do you know if you are gluten intolerant? If not, your odds are close to a flip of a coin.Gluten intolerance is frequently found to be the cause of many undesirable health conditions. The extent (and intensity) of conditions an individual may experience is vast. Some of these are listed below. In addition to acute conditions, the long term effects of gluten intolerance on general health can lead to more serious and avoidable degenerative conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and arthritis.
Why are symptoms all over the map?
After you eat, food is broken down into small particles that the body can use as fuel. This is what should happen to gluten, but does not for those who are intolerant to it. Those people are missing a digestive enzyme which breaks down gluten proteins. While these proteins are not broken down, they are still small enough to be absorbed by the small intestine. The immune system of a gluten intolerant individual sees these gluten proteins as something it needs to attack and destroy, in very much the same way it would attack a virus or bacteria. Just like civilian casualties or the innocent bystander, this attack also damages and destroys nearby healthy cells.The result is that the lining of the small intestines gets damaged and erodes. Like a fly screen that gets torn and allows bugs to pass, over time the damage opens paths for the gluten proteins to enter the blood stream where they can travel to any cell in the body. The type of symptoms you experience depends on which tissues react most negatively to it. That is why some people get constant skin lesions, while others just get headaches. Strange but true.Even though it is common for gluten intolerance to be thought of as an allergy, the effects are quite different. An allergen is usually met with a histamine reaction, where the body tries to flush the foreign matter away. The effects of gluten intolerance are closer to an autoimmune disease, where the body's immune system attacks itself. This explains why symptoms can be quite severe, and why gluten intolerance is such a serious problem. One common example of gluten intolerance is called celiac disease, where the small intestine is so severely damaged that it cannot absorb food properly, and can lead to malnutrition and even death.
How gluten intolerance is treated
Since the symptoms of gluten intolerance vary so much for each individual, so does the treatment. The most critical treatment that all sufferers need, though, is life-long avoidance of gluten. Gluten intolerant people possess certain genes that recognize gluten as foreign matter, and this cannot be changed with today's medicine.Many people find that while eliminating gluten from their diet makes them feel better, they still continue to experience problems. Damage to the small intestines and the intestinal immune system is universal in gluten intolerant individuals. This results in being susceptible to intestinal infections and parasites, which can cause ulcers and digestive problems in addition to many other diseases. The symptoms of these infections are often cyclical, which means you can feel bad and then feel good before cycling into feeling bad again. This cyclical nature also makes diagnosis of problems difficult. Therefore, while ceasing to eat gluten can relieve some of the problems, diagnosing and treating infections is critical to resolving all the problems. Just like recovery from the flu, recovering from the effects of years of consuming gluten requires time and care. Another important aspect of a good treatment program should address restoration. Lastly, since this is a genetic condition, it is highly recommended that relatives also seek diagnosis. Simply put, the condition does 'run in the family', and is always shared by at least one parent of a sufferer.

Tornado Watch Issued for Portions of WHAG Viewing Area Through Monday Night
In Pennsylvania: Adams
In West Virginia: Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan
In Virginia: Clarke, Frederick, Loudoun, Page, Shenandoah and Warren
Some sunshine is breaking through the clouds this afternoon, and with the right dynamics coming together with a weather disturbance moving through the region tonight, severe thunderstorms are possible with the threat for tornadoes through the late evening hours tonight.
Remember, if a Tornado Warning is issued for your area, take immediate precautions. Move to the lowest floor of your home, such as a basement, if no basement is available, then move to the interior most portion of your home such as a bathroom, and put as many walls between you and the outside as possible.
Also: The National Weather Service Baltimore/Washington, D.C. is continuing a Flash Flood/Flood Watch for the following counties in the WHAG Viewing Area as well through late Monday Night:
In Maryland: Frederick
In Virginia: Loudoun, Page, Shenandoah & Warren
Remember, do not drive through waters of unknown depth, as it only takes around a foot of water to sweep cars away. Turn Around, Don't Drown!
Stay alert for rapidly changing weather conditions this afternoon, and be prepared to take appropriate precautions should warnings be issued today.
With the Four State Region have tornadoes just about every year, or every other year, whether they are weak or strong, and in light of the recent tornadoes in the Midwest, finding shelter during a tornado is the best thing to protect your life. Meteorologist Brad Panovich's (Chief Meteorologist at WCNC-TV - NBC Charlotte, North Carolina) Blog posts about the scales of a tornado shelter, and how to move the odds of surviving any tornado up in your favor:
#1 Underground bunker, pre-built shelter, custom safe room or large bank vault. These will withstand even a monster EF-5 storm
#2 Basement, crawl space or other lowering inside a sturdy structure. The normally are safe in all instance but even here debris can collapse on you causing injury.
#3 Interior room with no windows with 2-3 walls between you and the outside in a strong framed structure. In almost all cases you will survive here with minimal injuries. Wearing a helmet will add in survivability.
#4 Interior room or bathroom on the lowest level in single story home or lighter constructed building. The building will likely sustain heavy damage but with a helmet or getting in a bathtub survivability is likely.
#5 Interior room on lowest level of a weak framed or strong manufactured home. Not a perfect situation but this may be the only choice and while injury is likely with head protection and anchoring survivability is possible. Especially in EF-0 to EF-2 storms.
#6 Strong, modern and heavy vehicle with seat belts and airbags trying to drive away from the path of the tornado. This is somewhat controversial but research has shown survivability is likely with modern crash cages and the safety features of modern vehicles. Convertibles or small cars are a no, no. This is not ideal but if you have time and in rural settings driving away can be an option. Especially if you are somewhere lower on this list. (source)
#7 Mobile home or weak manufactured home. These are mobile for a reason if a car or truck can tow your home than a 60-7mph wind can move it easily. The overwhelming majority of tornado deaths occur in manufactured homes. Get to a sturdy structure if at all possible but as a last resort interior room may save your life in weaker storms.
#8 In a ditch or low-lying area. This was something preached for years by safety officials and as a last resort can help. But water, lighting, wind and debris can still get you in these spots. Try to improve your situation if at all possible.
#9 Tents, temporary structures or picnic pavilions. In situations like camping, concerts or festivals get somewhere else fast. These structures provide little to no safety at all and often times the stakes and ropes become deadly missiles in even light winds.
#10 Out in the open, walking, running biking with nothing but you and the wind and debris. The worst possible situation to be in. You are betting off laying down or getting in a ditch. Which is far better than this situation. I hope you never find yourself in this situation.
Nevertheless, tornadoes and severe weather are nothing to play with, and if severe weather threatens your area, take the appropriate precautions to protect yourself and your family.

Al Gore's movie
Several of my colleagues complained that a more significant error is Gore's use of the long ice core records of CO2 and temperature (from oxygen isotope measurements) in Antarctic ice cores to illustrate the correlation between the two. The complaint is that the correlation is somewhat misleading, because a number of other climate forcings besides CO2 contribute to the change in Antarctic temperature between glacial and interglacial climate. Simply extrapolating this correlation forward in time puts the temperature in 2100 A.D. somewhere upwards of 10 C warmer than present — rather at the extreme end of the vast majority of projections (as we have discussed here). However, I don't really agree with my colleagues' criticism on this point. Gore is careful not to state what the temperature/CO2 scaling is. He is making a qualitative point, which is entirely accurate. The fact is that it would be difficult or impossible to explain past changes in temperature during the ice age cycles without CO2 changes (as we have discussed here). In that sense, the ice core CO2-temperature correlation remains an appropriate demonstration of the influence of CO2 on climate.
For the most part, I think Gore gets the science right, just as he did in Earth in the Balance. The small errors don't detract from Gore's main point, which is that we in the United States have the technological and institutional ability to have a significant impact on the future trajectory of climate change. This is not entirely a scientific issue — indeed, Gore repeatedly makes the point that it is a moral issue — but Gore draws heavily on Pacala and Socolow's recent work to show that the technology is there (see Science 305, p. 968 Stabilization Wedges: Solving the Climate Problem for the Next 50 Years with Current Technologies).
I'll admit that I have been a bit of a skeptic about our ability to take any substantive action, especially here in the U.S.
Gore's aim is to change that viewpoint, and the colleagues I saw the movie with all seem to agree that he is successful.
In short: this film is worth seeing. It opens in early June.

text: What do people think about the practice of watching other people's lessons taking place in public sessions, as a way to get free skating lessons? This mostly came up in my thinking due to skaters claiming to have learned to skate simply by watching You Tube videos. I am absolutely certain those people are not skating in isolation, rather they are learning by watching other skaters, sometimes even watching and listening to the lessons of other skaters, while actually on the ice where they can immediately work on the elements as if taking the lessons themselves. I don't know how I myself feel about the practice, but I know for a fact that people have watched and purposefully stayed close enough to listen to lessons I've taken, sometimes a bit too "coincidentally" working on the same elements at the same moments and being in the same area when the lesson moves from one part of the ice to another.

"I guess we answered the question, whether these guys would bounce back or not, and do it in a short week," Larry Fedora said after Carolina traveled to Charlottesville and beat the Cavaliers, 37-13, in a game they never trailed. The team that had been almost bemused by what happened last week rebounded with just one practice in pads before making a statement on national television. "I think they were hurt by what happened last week, and they've got a lot of pride," Fedora said. "They knew what had to be done. It wasn't going to be physical at this point in the season, it was going to be mental, and I think our defensive staff did a great job getting those guys back."
Senior defensive tackle Sylvester Williams said he had a good feeling when the team arrived at Scott Stadium Thursday afternoon. "I could see in everybody's eyes, the look guys had on their faces," he said. "I knew it was going to be a good game for us, especially on defense."
It was. The Tar Heels held Virginia to just two third-down conversions on 15 attempts, sacked the quarterbacks four times, forced a fumble and allowed just two field goals and a single touchdown on the day.
Safety Tre Boston didn't feel great about his play against the Yellow Jackets. He responded by diving into his playbook and hitting the film room. "Just going back to my roots," he said. "I played not my best last week, and I know that I played a lot better, and it was just about showing that tonight."
Immediately after a missed Tar Heel field goal, Boston picked off a Michael Rocco pass and returned it for a score, helping Carolina take a 20-10 lead into halftime.
Offensively, Carolina was paced by quarterback Bryn Renner, who was as sharp as ever, completing 29 of 36 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns. Wideout Quinshad Davis moved the chains, hauling in a freshman-record 16 catches for 178 yards. Fedora said Davis is just scratching the surface of his potential. For his part, Davis said he'd hoped to play at this level during his first season in Chapel Hill. "I didn't know if I'd do all this that I'm doing," he said, "but I wanted to come in and make an impact for this team."
With his record-setting night, Davis also passed teammate Giovani Bernard for receptions in a single season by a freshman. Davis's 52 catches is seven better than Bernard's 45 from a year ago. "He's a great young kid. He's doing a great job for us this year. We're expecting big things from him next year as well. He's done a great job so far."
Thanks to his spectacular playmaking ability, Bernard has commanded headlines all season long. Virginia seemed to make it a point of emphasis to stop the sophomore, who had just 18 yards rushing at halftime. "That's part of the game," he said. "If the run game's not there, the pass game's going to be there. If the pass game's not there, the running game might be there. That was just one of those nights. You've just got to work with it. They involved me in the passing game, so I got my touches. It was all I could do." Bernard finished with 57 yards rushing and 47 through the air.
Tar Heel fans are accustomed to Bernard making the highlight reel, but Thursday, it was the defense that came up with the game changing play.
With Carolina ahead by a touchdown in the third quarter, the Cavaliers drove off of their own 21-yard line after a Tar Heel punt. Michael Rocco methodically led the home team down the field, thanks in part to a 17-yard completion on 3rd and 18 and a fourth down conversion from Kevin Parks. That gave Virginia 1st and goal from the Tar Heel 8. Rocco kept for five yards, giving his team three chances from three yards out. Perry Jones got one, but Parks was stopped on consecutive plays by Curtis Campbell on third down and Kareem Martin and Kevin Reddick on fourth and goal. What would have been the game-tying drive ended up a turnover on downs.
"Man, that was incredible," Reddick said of the stand. "Guys just 'bowed up. I was telling the guys, be a man down here, and they did that." Indeed. When push came to shove, shove won."The linebackers fit, the safeties fit and everybody just made plays. It was a great stop."
Turner Walston is the managing editor of Tar Heel Monthly.
That great stop propelled the offense, too. After that goal-line stand, Bryn Renner engineered a 97-yard drive that culminated in a 20-yard touchdown pass to Bernard. The Cavaliers had been a yard away from tying the game, and suddenly they were down two scores. The whole sequence took less than five game-minutes. "That was probably the dagger right there," Fedora said of the swing.
After a Virginia three-and-out, Carolina took great field position and turned it into another score. The home fans headed for the exits as the visitors celebrated. In this most mercurial of seasons, it was almost fitting that the defense that gave up 68 points in a loss to Georgia Tech last weekend would hold Virginia to 13 just five days later.
Thursday night, Carolina had the opportunity to show off their navy pants and blue chrome helmets on national television. They showed too that they can bounce back from adversity with precision passing from Renner, playmaking from Bernard and Davis, and a much-improved defense. The Tar Heels won't play in a bowl game this year. In fact, they won't play beyond next Saturday's home finale with Maryland. But given the chance to step into the national spotlight for a night, they delivered a performance worthy of the stage.

If you have invested in a serviced apartment in NSW, recent court decisions could leave you with no rights to sue the builder for building faults.
Chris Kerin, a partner at Teys Lawyers, says a series of wins by developer Brookfield Multiplex in the NSW Supreme Court mean apartment owners are no longer able to sue for building negligence in the event of water ingress, cracks or other structural problems.
"All of a sudden there are a whole lot of buildings that don't have any recourse at all for building negligence," Kerin says.
The most recent case involved the owners corporation of a block of Mantra serviced apartments in Chatswood who had sued the builder, Brookfield Multiplex, alleging negligent building causing issues such as water ingress. Residential apartment owners have a six-year statutory warranty period during which the developer is required to fix structural defects, but this does not apply to serviced apartments, which are a bit like hotel rooms. So serviced apartment owners have to instead sue the builder for negligence.
But Justice Robert McDougall in October ruled Brookfield Multiplex did not owe the owners a duty of care when constructing the building, effectively ruling out the negligence avenue.
The decision follows another in June where owners of a residential apartment complex in Terrigal, on the NSW Central Coast, were found to not have the ability to sue the builder for negligence because they had the protection of statutory warranties under the Home Building Act.
Mr Kerin, who acts on behalf of owners corporations in defects claims, says there are probably 38,000 people in NSW alone who live in an apartment building newer than three years and are affected by defects. The NSW Supreme Court is dealing with dozens of cases over defects, with many more in local courts and tribunals.
He said these recent decisions would have a major impact on the future rights of non-residential apartments in NSW, and could impact cases in other states. While residential apartments have the benefit of statutory warranty periods, non-residential apartments rely on negligence claims. "They're serviced apartments, hotels, anything that doesn't have owners living in them, they don't have statutory warranties and they can't sue for negligence, so they have no recourse."
"That's bad. The builders can do what they like."
Brookfield Multiplex has been on the front foot in challenging defect claims in recent years, after announcing it was no longer building apartments in NSW due to an expensive litigation tail that was wiping out its profits.
George Kostas, managing director construction and development for Brookfield Multiplex Australasia, says Brookfield Multiplex had built 60 residential buildings in NSW worth $2.5 billion, and all of them had been subject to defect claims.
"I don't accept that was the case," Mr Kostas told The Australian.
He called for clearer definitions of defects to give developers more certainty, arguing litigation was forcing builders out of doing business in New South Wales.
Kerin says Brookfield Multiplex was taking a more adversorial approach to the detriment of apartment owners.
"Brookfield Multiplex's approach is to focus on technical points of law rather than rectifying the defects or improving building quality practice," Kerin says.

International Registration Plan (IRP) Compliance Examination
A compliance examination is defined as a physical examination of the operational records, including source documents, to verify both the registration distances reported on the renewal application and the accuracy and function of the registrant's record-keeping system as a whole.
IRP base jurisdictions are required to examine an average of 3% of the number of renewed fleets each year to ensure compliance with the IRP and to guarantee that the proper revenues are being collected for each jurisdiction. As a result, every motor carrier registered with the Texas IRP will be subject to an examination of their distance records at some point. Registrants are selected both randomly and through information received from other sources.
If selected for an examination, you will be required to submit a completed Pre-Examination Questionnaire in addition to your operational records. Other additional information may be required by the compliance specialist during the examination process.
The TxDMV utilizes non-statistical sampling when conducting compliance examinations. Select units are randomly chosen from the applicable equipment list. Operational records, including the Individual Vehicle Distance Records (IVDR) and monthly/quarterly summaries, are requested for those units. An annual unit summary is also required for the fleet as a whole, regardless of sample size.
Source documents for no less than three representative months within the distance reporting period will be selected for examination. Distance is then traced from the IVDRs to the summaries.
We request that the records submitted be legible, separated by unit number and in date sequence. The TxDMV cannot be responsible for lost or missing records; as a result, photocopies are preferred. Requested records are to be submitted to Texas Department of Motor Vehicles - Motor Carrier Division Commercial Fleet Services Section, 3800 Jackson Avenue, Austin, TX 78731.
For general IRP compliance examination information, please contact the IRP Compliance Admin at (512) 374-5267.
