Winter safety tips
I don't know about you, but where we live, the weather has abruptly changed over the past few days. We were wearing shorts last weekend, yet actually saw a few errant snowflakes in the air two days ago. Just like getting winter gear ready for you and your kids, your dog needs special care in the cold weather as well. Big dogs, small dogs, long-haired dogs, and short haired dogs all need some TLC when the mercury drops. Here are some tips for making sure your pets are warm and safe in the winter months:
- Use good common sense when it comes to extended outdoor time for your dog in cold temperatures. Older, frail dogs should never be left outside alone in cold weather – you should escort them outside for potty breaks and use a leash if there is a risk of falling on the ice. Puppies, smaller dogs and older dogs should not be left outside alone when it dips below 40 degrees F. Short-haired dogs will need a sweater to go outside at all.
- Watch out for poisonous chemicals. Antifreeze is especially appealing to dogs as it tastes sweet – so keep it tightly sealed and out of reach. Promptly and thoroughly clean up any spills. Always promptly rinse or wipe you dog's paws after a winter walk to get rid of any salt or ice melt chemical from icy sidewalks. The salt can be toxic in addition to irritating your dog's paws.
- Stay active. Just because it's winter doesn't mean your dog will need any less exercise. Keep going for walks and keep busy inside as well. If your dog is significantly less active in the winter, consult with your vet on adjusting quantity or type of food.
- If your dog absolutely must spend a lot of time outside, make sure he has a "house" or shelter to stay safe and warm. The house should be a few inches off of the ground, big enough so he can stand but small enough to retain his body heat, and have some straw that is changed at least one or two times each week and a blanket or two on the ground. There should be a "flap" so he can get in and out, but is still protected by the weather.
- Dogs need time to adapt to spending time outdoors in cold weather and for their coat to thicken. Give them time to adjust to the colder temps and slowly increase the time they spend outside – again bigger dogs only. Use caution and keep a close eye on your dog when he is outside in winter – extremely chilled dogs can develop hypothermia or frostbite – especially on ear tips.
- Keep giving your dog lots of fresh water – just because it's cold doesn't mean your dog doesn't need to stay hydrated.

Representatives of two of Lawrence's country clubs say they are disappointed in the action taken last week in the Kansas House to keep country clubs from being considered as nonprofit organizations for property tax purposes.
The House passed and sent to the Senate a bill strictly limiting which nonprofit organizations receive a property tax break under a constitutional amendment approved by voters in November.
Only Rep. Al Lane, R-Mission Hills, voted against the bill. There were 121 votes for it on final roll call.
Lane had unsuccessfully attempted during debate to amend the bill to include private country clubs among the organizations that would get their property assessment rate reduced from 30 percent to 12 percent.
Bob Billings, president and owners' representative of Alvamar Country Club, said the club has had a "rather major increase" in property taxes since a 1989 property classification amendment went into effect. He said the country club's property taxes went from $40,000 to $120,000 after reapportionment. After the country club went through a tax protest, the tax was lowered to $90,000 in 1991.
"IT CERTAINLY has been difficult on our members. The members are the ones that pay the bills," Billings said.
Bob Stephens, who was president of the Lawrence Country Club when classification took effect, said the club's property taxes increased from about $17,000 to about $70,000 under reappraisal.
Stephens said country clubs should not be taxed at commercial rates because the property is not zoned for commercial use. He said if the country club went out of business, a business could not be put in its place without having the land rezoned for commercial use.
Stephens said the Lawrence Country Club dealt with the matter by raising dues and trying to get more members.
THE BILL the House passed would limit the reduction to a narrowly defined group of charitable organizations that aren't already exempt from property taxes.
The tax break was contained in a constitutional amendment approved by voters last fall that also slightly reduced the residential assessment rate and lowered the rate for commercial property.
Opponents of the House's narrow interpretation of what the classification amendment allows said they believe a broader range of nonprofit organizations will share in benefits of the amendment once the courts interpret it.
Residential property assessment rate is lowered from 12 percent to 11.5 percent of market value under the amendment, while commercial property is reduced from 30 percent to 25 percent.
As advanced by the House, the bill would allow a lower property assessment rate for four categories of organizations that have tax-exempt status with the federal Internal Revenue Service.
Those groups are those whose entire financial efforts are devoted to charitable, educational or recreational purposes, those charitable groups that might have commercial ties but derive no profits from them, and fraternal organizations and lodges.
BILLINGS and Stephens said they don't expect much sympathy in the Senate.
Because there are such a small number of country clubs, Billings said he didn't think they would be able to muster much political clout.
However, he said there was a good case to be made for including country clubs in the nonprofit bracket.
"They do provide about the only open space for some communities or a significant open space for some communities, and it normally increases the value of the surrounding homes," he said. "Without the golf course in place, you probably lose some tax revenue from the adjacent properties."
He said that increased property taxes have to be passed on to the golfer which adds to the greens fees, he said.
Stephens said he didn't think the Senate would have any more sympathy for country clubs than the House, especially when the margin was so large.

We equally have zero issue with buying girls dollies that come with bottles. After all, that's how you feed a baby, right? Well, in my house when I'm not home, sure. But if Mama's here, her babies drink right from the tap. Are you shocked? Of course you're not! They're just boobs. They're made to feed babies and it's not a big deal.
Or maybe it is. Anyone else seen this?
Breastfeeding Doll Sparks Controversy in the U.S.The baby doll toy allows little girls to pretend that they are breastfeeding. Educational or Creepy?
The Spanish toy company Berjuan has developed the Bebé Glotón, a doll created to "breastfeed".
The way it works is for little girls to strap on an apron-like top that has flowers to represent what would be the the nipples.
Once the doll is close to the nipple (flower) it emits a suckling sound and cries until it burps.
Now, granted, I don't feel the need to go out and drop a whole boatload of money on some doll for my kiddos to breastfeed, but equally I don't find it creepy or inappropriate. Why does anything having to do with breasts freak people out so much? Is it that it's little girls?
So, we're comfortable with little girls pretending to have had babies and care for them:
And we're fine with dressing our daughters questionably at Halloween:
But we're not ok with little girls wanting to something as natural, sweet, and nurturing as breastfeeding their pretend baby?
I'll tell you something. All of my kids have pretended to breastfeed. My girls have done it with their dolls. Even my boys have done it, although they prefer to cuddle up with Tickle Me Elmo. But whatever, they've all pretended to breastfeed their "babies". And I've never once thought it was creepy. I kind of always thought it was sweet. This is how they saw their Mama caring for babies, so that's how they did it too.
I remember when I joined the Catholic Church. Yes, I did turn out to be a terrible Catholic, true. I've got the meat sauce lasagna in the oven right now on a Friday, in Lent! But during that process way back when, Bridget was born. Catechumens in the Church sit in the front. Right in front of the priest. So, I nursed my baby, right there in the front pew. I had an answer if anyone had ever said anything about it. I figured God didn't have a problem with breastfeeding, or he would have had the milk come from somewhere more "appropriate". And if God didn't take issue with the way He built me, I didn't think anyone else should either.
Oddly enough, even in a Catholic Church, people kind of understood that it was a baby, they were just boobs, and if I wasn't making a big spectacle of it, they wouldn't either.
But can we, as a people, and maybe as a society, just get the hell over it? They're just boobs! And if my daughters, or my sons want to pretend to breastfeed, I couldn't care less.
Have I mentioned that they're just boobs?

Every climbing frame in the Selwood 2012 range has upgraded, supersized uprights (legs). These engineered cedar uprights are now 8cm by 8cm and have been developed to give much less checking and twisting than standard pine uprights. This all means sturdier and safer play for children.
That's Mum and Dad happy now the amazing features on this climbing frame will make the kids very happy. The Blaise features the multi-functional and very clever monkey bar swing combo beam. This is a great way to have all the best play features on your climbing frame without taking up the entire garden. Simply unclip the swings and glider when the children want to use the monkey bars and clip them back on when they want to swing.
The Blaise has an upper deck fully equipped with a vinyl chalk board and UV resistant tarp roof to ward off rain and sun. From the play deck they can whizz down the straight wavy slide and make the most of the lower playhouse. This comes complete with 2 attached stools and a large serving hatch style opening.
The lower playhouse is where children can let their imagination run wild. It can be a small little café where they serve cupcakes and tea, a grocery store or even a busy restaurant where they are head chef. It can also be a pit stop for refuelling in between all the running around and excitement
Why buy The Blaise Climbing Frame?
It features the clever monkey bar combo beam. This is a great space saver which means you don't need a huge garden to have a climbing frame full of great features.
It is sturdier and safer than ever. The engineered uprights are super-strong and soft to the touch, ideal for little hands.
The multifunctional lower playhouse with attached stools. This can be another play feature, a rest stop, a place to store outdoor toys and a place to continue the fun.
The slatted rock wall to the rear. This makes the ascent up to the top deck a little more challenging and a lot more fun than a standard ladder. There are professional style rocks moulded specifically with little hands in mind.
It is an unbeatable price.

(Plain jane e-mail capture)
Don't you trust me?
Of course you don't! Asking for an e-mail without incentive is like selling Happy Meals without a prize. Scratch that – it's like selling a Happy Meal without the burger and fries. Information is currency. We aren't naïve to the possibility of personal data being misused. Surrendering your e-mail address gives the recipient leverage over you.
Put some power back in your prospect's fingertips. As Sales Guru Jeffery Gitomer says, "People don't like to be sold – but they love to buy." Offer a mutually beneficial deal the way free market economics intended!
I know that you, dear reader, are already building your clienteles trust by publishing useful content. Propositioning them follows naturally. Let's suppose your most viewed entry covers the 6 steps to the perfect soufflé. We can use that information to build a product that readers will exchange e-mails for. Put yourself in their shoes for this exercise. After reading that great article on soufflés, do you think they're primed for spatulas?
Developing the product is simpler than you think. We know your reader must bake in front of an oven away from their office. I'd wager that they would love a mobile friendly checklist version of that article. Or, if they are using a laptop, a condensed PDF. These products cost virtually nothing to produce yet will populate your e-mail list. In simple terms, sending one valuable piece of content for free isn't necessarily enough.
Successful online entrepreneurs make every step about their clientele. You would never be sold on a car based upon how the transaction benefited the sales associate. Focus on what your clientele will receive. And, no, subscribing to receive updates is generally not persuasive. However, there is an exception to this.
Whether we admit it or not, humans are status driven. In high school that meant sitting with an exclusive crowd. In the corporate world that exclusive crowd becomes executives and VIPs. One strategy is limiting content available to non-subscribers. Readers are then enticed to subscribe with the possibility of longer, premium content. This gives them a feeling of importance. For as we said, knowing something outsiders do not is a form of leverage.
There is a major caveat: Your content better be stellar!
Don't get me wrong, any website without opt-in forms fares worse than those which do. But I personally guarantee that an incentive shaves off miles off your journey towards building reliable clientele.
Let's Talk Content
If you haven't heard the term "Content Marketing" you are way behind on the curve ball. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and read this PDF published by PulsePoint . It points out that content marketing budgets will double by the year 2017. What does this mean? It means, businesses are investing in not only high quality content for their website but high quality content to provide to their client for FREE.
As you know the first step consumers do when looking for a product or service is research. They are generally not in the buying mode BUT if you've got something of value that you're offering for FREE, they usually deem their risk at giving up their email address fairly low. For lead generation, it's invaluable. So while other incentives can be considered such as a FREE product, giving away good content (in the form of an e-book, white paper, how to guides), costs less than traditional marketing techniques. How much? Take a look at this article from Smart Bug Media. Worth the read.
Need Ideas?
Don't hesitate to send me an email or give me a call and let's discuss your business and what type of incentives are worth considering in order to to start filling your lead pipeline.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Eclipse DLC Will Release On May 19
Call of Duty: Black Ops 3's previous DLC, entitled "Awakening," broke sales records for the series when it was released in February.
While we've known that the Black Ops 3 Eclipse DLC would be released sometime after it, we never had an exact date, but now Treyarch has gotten rid of that little speed bump: Eclipse will be released two weeks from today, on May 19, for the Xbox One.
Eclipse has already been out on the Playstation 4 ever since April 19, but on May 19 it will be coming to the Xbox One for players that lack a Playstation 4.
The DLC brings more multiplayer maps for you and your friends to destroy, and also has a new zombie map that brings to mind memories of Shi No Numa, a Zombie map for Call of Duty: World at War and Call of Duty: Black Ops.
This zombie map, called Zetsubou No Shima, plunges players into a sinister Imperial Japanese biological weapons facility on a remote Pacific Island, leaving them to fend off hundreds of zombies made of dead soldiers from the Imperial Japanese Army. Zetsubou No Shima includes terrifying new enemies, inventive traps, and the classically obtuse zombie side quests that help you uncover the "story" of the level.
The four other multiplayer maps include Spire, a sub-orbital airport terminal, Rift, a futuristic military complex high above an active volcanic caldera, Knockout, a traditional Shaolin Temple, and Verge, a reimagining of the classic Call of Duty: World At War map Banzai set in a distant, war-torn post-apocalyptic future.
The Black Ops 3 Eclipse DLC will be available on Thursday, May 19, on the Xbox One for $14.99. And if you think you can get it if you only have a Playstation 4 or an Xbox 360, think again; you'd best upgrade if you want to keep playing the game.

6m at 476g/t, 6m at 429g/t, 22m at 72.1g/t and 8m at 65.7g/t Au
PERTH, Australia, April 21 /CNW/ - Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) is pleased to provide a further update on exploration activities at the Company's Tengrela Gold Project in the Ivory Coast.
Recent significant drill intercepts from resource drilling at the Sissingue prospect are summarized below. These included:
RC hole SLC245 - 8m at 65.7g/t Au from 50m including 2m at 252g/t Au from 54m; RC hole SLC246 - 18m at 7.5g/t Au from 8m including 6m at 18.3g/t Au from 18m, 6m at 429g/t Au from 34m including 2m at 1,277g/t Au from 34m; RC hole SLC247 - 6m at 476g/t Au from 56m including 2m at 1,421g/t Au from 56m and 30m at 1.6g/t from 68m; RC hole SLC249 - 22m at 72.1g/t Au from 66m including 4m at 389g/t Au from 78m; and RC hole SLC264 - 14m at 6.5g/t Au from 80m to the end of hole including 2m at 40.0g/t Au at the end of the hole.
Drill samples were assayed by 50g fire assays by Intertek Minerals Limited in Ghana. At the Sissingue prospect, intersections are typically 60% to 90% of true width.
Drill holes SLC245 and SLC246 were drilled 20m east and 14m west respectively of previously announced SLC045 which intercepted 26m at 19.5g/t Au. Drill hole SLC247 was drilled 20m and 40m east from previously announced drill holes SLC226 and SLC048 which intercepted 16m at 11.3g/t Au and 47m at 3.4g/t Au respectively.
SLC249 was drilled on a parallel zone 20m north of previously announced SRC258 which intercepted 28m at 4.3g/t Au.
A complete tabulation of results is contained in a filing available at www.sedar.com and the Company's website, www.perseusmining.com.
Perseus Managing Director, Mark Calderwood said:
"Impressive infill and extensional drill intercepts from the northern 'high grade cluster' of the Sissingue - Eastern Zone confirm the robust tenure of this high grade mineralisation."
"These latest results are the last for the current round resource and reserve modelling, but drilling will continue at Sissingue to test strike and depth potential of the deposits."

"Red" the mule was hit by a car Monday morning on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. She was injured in the crash and within hours was euthanized by a local veterinarian.
The car hit the mule around 6:45 a.m. in the eastbound outer lane of Pacific Coast Highway at Heathercliff Road, said Los Angeles County sheriff's Lt. James Royal. The driver was not injured, Royal said.
By midmorning Monday, Sgt. Philip Brooks said, the mule had been put down at the scene of the accident. The animal, which authorities previously said was a horse, did not have a rider, sheriff's officials said.
The accident spurred the closure of one of two lanes of traffic until about 9:30 a.m., Brooks said.
Red had escaped from a nearby home during construction along with a horse, said Sherman Baylin, an animal mortician from the area who said she was asked to respond to the scene by sheriff's deputies.
When Baylin arrived at the scene, Red was on her side and "her vitals were still OK," Baylin said. But by the time veterinarian Merle DerVartanian arrived, the mule's gums were losing color – "a death sign," Baylin said – and DerVartanian elected to put the mule down.
The owner of the mule, Baylin added, was "a wreck."
The escaped horse eventually returned home.

9/24/09 Who cares when the fox writes the rules for the hen house? No one, really. Unless you're a resident hen to a wind developer fox.
What's going on just south of the border? How different is it in Wisconsin?
This article spells it all out. Wind developers actually wrote the wind ordinance for Winnebago County in Illinois. One could say wind developers are able to hold a county or town hostage in this way, insisting on setbacks that have nothing to do with health and safety for members of the community. The one and only thing they care about is profit. It's about quantity siting for profitability and that's it. This makes sense from a business standpoint, but in terms of human impact its a formula for misery.
How long will wind developers be able to run rough shod over communities and local government?
With the federal government now offering them cash grants for up to 30% of their costs, and with recently passed legislation that protects their every move by stripping local government of control, we say 'rough shod' won't even begin to cover it. Try 'stampede'
Wind Farm Ordinance to Full Board on September 24
By Stuart R. Wahlin
Staff Writer
[Click here to read it at The Rock River Times]
Sept. 16, members of the Winnebago County Board Zoning Committee pored over minutiae in a 15-page proposed text amendment to the county's zoning ordinance that would open the door to commercial wind power generation in the county.
Because the wind industry has yet to blow into Winnebago County, no rules exist to govern them.
The measure was first proposed in April by Minneapolis-based Navitas Energy, Inc., which wants to include agricultural land in southwestern Winnebago County in a 100-turbine wind farm straddling the convergence of Ogle, Stephenson and Winnebago counties.
Navitas plans to site 40 of the turbines in Winnebago County, and would lease property from participating landowners for up to $6,000 per year for each turbine location.
According to the Navitas Web site: "Landowners receive rents for the turbines placed on their land, injecting money into the local economy. Counties receive tax revenue from the project based on the assessed real estate value of the wind farm facilities. During construction, local businesses and suppliers receive the benefit of 80-100 construction workers on site for a period between nine and 18 months, as well as the creation of construction jobs. After construction is complete, several local full-time operations, maintenance and service jobs are created."
Despite generating electricity locally, utility rates are not expected to be affected, because Navitas would be required to sell the power to ComEd, rather than directly to consumers.
Permitted use vs. special use
The proposal is being presented by Navitas as a permitted use, meaning no special-use permit is required from a wind farm developer as long as the criteria in the ordinance are met.
When the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) heard testimony last month, however, some citizens argued a special-use permit should be required so that individual proposed sites could be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
As a special use, any proposed wind farm project would have to be considered by the ZBA, giving residents a say in each case before a final decision by the County Board. Citing this reason during the Sept. 16 zoning meeting, Steve Schultz (R-2) moved to amend the text to require a special-use permit.
"There may be unique factors relative to a particular siting of a particular project that, by allowing it under the special-use, you would provide for that to come out in the testimony, so whatever the special circumstances of that particular location were, it could be evaluated individually," he explained.
"I've heard strong concern represented by the citizens of this county that the establishment or the construction of the wind power-generating facility is a significant event for any neighborhood, and they wanted to have an opportunity to have a say, to express their concerns about a particular project," Schultz said. "This is such a substantial change in the utilization of land that it ought to be a special use.
"We have spent substantial amounts of time evaluating the heights of garages," he added. "We've spent a substantial amount of time discussing whether an Ag outbuilding could be utilized for the renovation of antique luxury cars." Schultz argued a special use ought to apply to "something that is gonna have a phenomenally greater impact on communities."
He also noted other counties typically assign a special use, not a permitted use, to wind farm projects.
Ogle County, in which Navitas already operates, is one such county to have opted for a special use.
According to Ogle County Planning & Zoning Administrator Mike Reibel, "There was never a debate or consideration given to commercial wind farms being granted permitted-use status in Ogle County.
"I believe that, due to the magnitude of wind farm projects, and their impact—real and/or perceived—the public expects an opportunity to be heard," Reibel explained. "Also, since each project is somewhat unique, a special use provides an opportunity to the county to impose specific conditions upon the project to ensure the protection of the health, safety and general welfare of the county."
Stephenson County also approaches wind farms as a special use, but that wasn't always the case.
In 2008, after having researched wind farms in Minnesota and Wisconsin, Stephenson County Zoning Director Terry Groves decided to pursue a switch to permitted use. About eight months after the permitted use was approved by the Stephenson County Board, however, litigation followed.
"We had a company that wanted to expand its operation that already got approval [under the criteria of a special-use permit]," Groves explained. "We got, of course, sued over the permitted use.
"The company didn't want to come in and apply under a challenged ordinance, so the county board went and reversed their decision on the permitted use, back to a special use," he said.
Although Groves indicated things are now proceeding smoothly under the special use, he'd still like to give permitted use another shot.
"My permitted use had higher standards, more restrictive standards, than the special use has now," he noted. "But, the objectors—they didn't like it, because they wanted public hearings. They wanted somebody like the county board to have oversight on it, instead of my office or the standards that I had."
Although there would have been no public hearings, per se, under Groves' plan, public meetings would have taken place in order to address any concerns from citizens. Furthermore, he said, individuals who may not have agreed with a decision would have had the option to appeal.
"I love the permitted use and, if it's approved [in Winnebago County], I'm bringing mine right back up again," Groves said, while noting his belief the public has the right to a say in the process. "I think there should be some sort of mechanism for the public to address concerns, rather than just having someone start to dig in the backyard and, all of a sudden, you've got a 60-unit wind farm."
Although sympathetic to concerns, Frank Gambino (R-14) said he felt any apprehension could be alleviated through the crafting of a permitted use.
"I think if we get those right, I don't know that special use is needed," Gambino asserted.
"Permitted use would help support this industry in this county, as long as we get it right."
Andrew Evans, Navitas project manager, said of the permitted-use proposal, "I think what we've tried to do here is essentially lay out all of the issues that typically come up in wind farm hearings, and essentially put them all in the ordinance so that we have to address them.
"The same issues come up at almost every single special-use hearing," he added. "And instead of hearing those again and again and again for each individual wind farm, we've essentially put them directly into the ordinance. So what we have left is an ordinance that's significantly more restrictive than any other ordinance you're gonna see in Illinois, other than certain counties that have adopted ordinances specifically to keep wind out of the county."
Evans assured an "open and clear" process.
"It's gonna show clear government intent, and it's gonna lay out clear hurdles that a potential developer has to jump to appropriately site a wind farm in the county," Evans said. "It takes a lot of the subjectivity out of the process, and it's gonna encourage investment in the area. …It takes a lot of the uncertainty out of it, which is potentially gonna scare away a developer."
Hastings agreed it would be more desirable to spell out exactly what is expected of wind farm developers as a permitted use than to leave doubts as to whether a project is worth pursuing as a special use.
Schultz, however, reminded colleagues that most wind farms in other counties are approved under special use.
Although the committee's chairman, Paul Gorski (D-3), agreed a special use may not be necessary, he supported Schultz's motion as the only way for citizens to voice their opinions when new wind farm projects are proposed for other areas of the county.
After about an hour of discussion, the motion to amend failed in a 3-3 tie. Gambino, Angie Goral (D-7) and Bob Hastings (D-13) voted "no."
It is possible, however, the issue could be reconsidered during the Sept. 23 meeting, or by the full board.
Definition of an occupied building, setback distances considered
The committee spent 90 minutes wrestling over what constitutes an "occupied building."
As presented, the ordinance stated: "'Occupied Building' means a residence, school, hospital, church, public library or other building used for public gathering that is occupied and in regular use as of the date the permit application is submitted, or which although unoccupied or not in regular use, is in a condition suitable for occupation or regular use without substantial alteration or repair. A building used primarily for storage, such as a garage, storage shed, barn, or other outbuilding shall not be deemed an Occupied Building for purposes of this Article."
But a planning commission from Seward, an unincorporated community where turbines are to be located, thought the definition needed to be expanded to require setbacks from agriculture-related structures.
"A lot of [farmers] spend more time in their livestock building or in their machine shop than they do in their house, probably," Seward Township Clerk Jim Monge explained.
Monge said he wasn't nearly as worried about safety setbacks from other farm-related buildings, like corn cribs, which are seldom occupied.
Reportedly, Seward could file a legal objection, requiring a super-majority vote by the county board to pass the measure, 21 of 28 votes.
During discussion, most committee members agreed the setback should apply to farm buildings used for more than just storage.
Dave Yeske (R-2) made a motion to amend the "occupied building" definition to include livestock barns, farm-related garages and machine sheds that may be visited from time to time. The amendment passed with only Hastings voting "no."
In its present state, the ordinance requires a setback of 1.1 times the height of a 441.1-foot-tall turbine for occupied buildings of participating landowners. A setback of 1,200 feet is required from non-participating properties.
Later in the meeting, Schultz made a motion to increase the setbacks to 1.5 times the turbine height and 1,600 feet, respectively.
Evans quickly pointed out wind farm setbacks are typically only 500 feet.
"The intent there is to protect people," Evans said of the 1,200-foot setback. "The ability of the developer to site turbines is significantly limited by setbacks. And if you start increasing the setbacks… there is the potential that you'd be crafting an ordinance that wouldn't allow wind farms to happen at all."
Evans conceded: "I won't say that there are no areas on earth that don't have larger setbacks than that. I can say that the counties nearby that do have wind farms—1,200 is a very conservative residential setback.
"Given the tendency of the county to have smaller parcels, you would be significantly hindering the ability of the developer to site wind turbines," Evans argued.
Although his motion ultimately failed, Schultz retorted: "The fact that 1,200 feet, while consistently stated as very conservative, is substantially less than setbacks where, even admittedly, there are wind farms on properties where setbacks are greater than 1,200 feet. I'm just concerned that it's been represented in such a way that it's sorta like, 'You do it this way, or you don't do it at all.'"
Unable to make its way through the entire 15-page proposed ordinance, the committee adjourned after 3-1/2 hours, but will take up the remaining points Sept. 23 with the intention of presenting the final product to the county board the following night.
NOTE FROM THE BPWI RESEARCH NERD: Click on the image below to see Wisconsin homes in a wind farm with a 1000 foot setback. This wind farm was approved by the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin. Recently passed legislation now gives them full authority in siting wind turbines in our state. Local government will have now have little if any power at all when it comes to siting turbines in their own communities.

Back in early December you might remember I set off on a quest to lose 5 to 10 pounds. The reason? Well, my niece was getting married on December 30th and I wanted to look good for her wedding. The wedding was fabulous BTW. I must post some pictures some time soon!
Anyway… I was successful. I lost about 7 pounds in December and I've continued to loose a few pounds this month as well. I mainly just increased my activity since I already eat well. Plus … since I have Crohn's Disease there are a lot of foods that I just can't eat or well digest, so I've always been fairly careful about my diet.
A few people have asked me how I've been losing weight and that got me thinking that I should maybe write a post or two about diets that work well. So … if you've been on a diet in the last year or two and you've found one that works maybe you could tell me about it? Then I'll compose a post about various diets or things to cut out of your regular meal plans in order to lose weight.

CARLSBAD, Calif., (March 5, 2007) --Things were looking good at St. Louis' Edward Jones Dome this past Saturday night for Unbound Energy Drink's Chad Reed (San Manuel/Yamaha). The former champion pulled the $1,500 Progressive Direct holeshot and took the lead into the initial stages of the race.
But a few turns into the contest, points leader James Stewart appeared to get by Reed on the high side of a turn, and when Reed slashed in low on his line the two collided -- sending the series points leaders to the stadium floor.
"I'm out here to race and I'm not going to be pushed around like I have been, said Reed on the podium afterwards. "We came together and both went down. I didn't want that to happen, but hey, it's racing.
Fortunately Reed was able to get his bike back up and running fairly quickly after the wreck and set out after some of the planet's top young supercross talent that had gotten past him when he went down. One by one his challengers would fall, including former Lites champions Davi Milsaps ('06) and Unbound Energy-backed teammate Nathan Ramsey ('99).
"I did my best but Ricky (Carmichael) was gone, said Reed of the eventual winner.
In the end Reed would settle for 3rd overall, keeping the points chase with Stewart tight.
Reed's San Manuel/Yamaha teammate, Ramsey, pulled off his best finish of the year with a 5th overall in the premier AMA Supercross class at St. Louis. Ramsey got to the main with a solid 4th place finish in his heat race. In the main he got a good start and was in podium contention after the Reed/Stewart crash and only yielded four spots to the world's top supercross racers in Carmichael, Reed, Stewart and Kevin Windham.
Next up for Unbound Energy's Reed and Ramsey is Round Ten of the 2007 Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series at Daytona International Speedway on Friday, March 9th.
Unbound Energy, Unbound Lo-Carb Energy and the new Unbound Energy + Juice are available in 16 oz. cans at BP and am/pm retail locations, with more locations being added every day!

Whitesburg Georgia
|Walter Zettl
ride up to heaven ..not down into Hell.
I met Walter Zettl in December of 2001 as a Grand Prix and Prix St. George demonstration rider at a dressage symposium in Atlanta. From the first lesson I admired his compassionate approach to training and constant consideration for the horse. Walter paid me the complement that my riding was accurate and that there was obvious harmony with my horses. That event was filmed by Mark Neihart and Heidi Zorn for what would become Walter's acclaimed "A Matter of Trust" video series. The first video premiered at 2002 Dressage at Devon. Much to my surprise, I and several of my students appeared throughout the tape. When Walter heard that I was competing at DaD, he came over and schooled my warm up. That was quite a treat.
In February of 2003 Walter came to Georgia and conducted a clinic that I hosted at Merichase Farm. When Mark and Heidi realized that many of the riders used in the first video would be participating, they drove up from Florida and filmed the entire event. Volume II was released in 2003 and Volume III in 2004. I was honored to see that Walter featured extensive footage of my students and the horses I trained.
Instructing riders of all levels, I constantly remind them that a horse should willingly and enthusiastically seek the hand. Dressage training should always develop a constant two-way communication between horse and rider. Walter embraces this concept and constantly told me to give during lessons, even more than usual. The result was an immediate softening and more pleasant contact. There is a definite difference between a horse that simply yields to contact and one that actively seeks your hand. I always believed in that concept but Walter opened the door and deepened my understanding.
Another gift from Walter was the Short-step trot. I had schooled horses in piaffe from the walk and work-in-hand. I also train horses to have a very adjustable trot. Walter took the time to explain the nuances of teaching the piaffe from the trot. Working with Walter, I was fortunate enough to have horses in various stages of training and we worked on the slow-step trot method in almost every lesson. Now the concept is more than a few paragraphs in a book I read. It has become another valuable technique that I use with my students horses as well as my own. Due to this work with Walter, I set out to improve the quality of the piaffe and passage of my Grand Prix horse Fahrenheit. The method worked beautifully and those movements were the best they had ever been when he past away.
After three years, I enjoy a fond relationship with Walter and his wife Heide. Conversations over meals, on the phone and in e-mail have only increased my appreciation for Walter's wisdom and kind nature. Participants in Walters clinics around the country say he refers to me as a "special soul" and the feeling is mutual. During the Zettl's last visit Walter made a comment to my husband on the way to the airport. He said, "Gigi is on the right path with her riding. She shouldn't look to the left. She shouldn't look to the right .only straight ahead." I treasure that remark.
Watching A Matter of Trust Volume III you will notice an "In Memory" tribute to my Grand Prix horse Fahrenheit (Wendel) in the closing credits. It was a kind gesture from Walter acknowledging the special relationship he witnessed during our lessons.
He is one of a few trainers still committed to the classical principles of dressage. Because of Walter Zettl, I always try to ride up to heaven ..not down into Hell.

UPS should provide a total annual yield of 14.22%, when combining dividends and earnings growth. FedEx should provide a higher total annual yield of 16.24%. FedEx's two percent total yield advantage is 14% higher than UPS's total yield. Since, FedEx is currently undervalued and it has a higher potential for future earnings, I think that FDX will prove to be a better investment over the long-term than UPS.

Disneyland in Lahore will create thousands jobs. Yes, according to an official statement of the government of Punjab, the government has apportioned Rs. 36 billion to develop Lahore's its own Disney land. The amusement and recreational park will provide number of entertainment facilities to the citizens of Pakistan's second largest city.
The Lahore's Disneyland will be replica of Hong Kong's one. Dubai government is also planning to build such type of a park to attract visitors across the globe. Regarding job opportunities, the media spoke person of Punjab Government was of the opinion that the project will create about 5000 temporary jobs for five years and 3000 jobs in the long run.
The tender of different sites of the project will be awarded to famous and certified local and international firms. There are different opinions among the dwellers of Lahore. Some believe that the capital city of the province badly needs internationally acclaimed amusement parks and the city has now become a cosmopolitan city after Karachi. While, some hold the view that the city at the moment cannot afford such huge wasted projects as the city needs clean water and modern health facilities with the patronage of government.
Disneyland project is on the papers so far. It yet to be discussed and it will face criticism from the opposition parties as well. The government has to spend public expenditures judiciously and giving first priority to the basic necessities of common people.
It is here necessary to mention that Disneyland is a theme park first built in California and later on the legacy of the Walt Disney spread over different cities of the world. It is yet to see what Punjab government brings changes and something extraordinary to show the world that Pakistan can supervise and administer globally celebrated enjoyment parks.

Unsurpassed: Boris Eifman's ability to use the human body, as demonstrated in his latest work, Rodin, through dance and sheer theatrical artistry on the part of his dancers, as a form of communication so strong as to literally replace any need for language. We may all be casually aware that body language constitutes a large percentage of communication, and that dance is an art form which, more often than not, excludes words and spoken sounds. However, more than any other company I've seen perform—and that has included many prominent national and international ones — Eifman reminds us that it is the body that is the purest, rawest form of communication; that it speaks for the individual with the least adulteration, without the barrier of words, whether the individual wants those truths told in that physical manner or not. With Eifman, his use of dance as language is far deeper than the symbols and mimes of story ballets, which may represent language or themes. Rather, his choreography pierces through the murky and opaque use of words to give us the "language" we were born with before we ever learned to speak: our bodies. Rodin tells of jealously, drama, conflict and, ultimately, insanity and tragedy, but using the most basic of all "languages" without any recourse to the veil of words.
My 5-star rating of Rodin, based on life of the 19th century French sculptor Auguste Rodin and the relationship with his apprentice, lover and muse Camille Claudel, isn't based on this being my "favorite ballet," or even favorite genre. My own personal preferences are for story ballets, with pointe shoes, tutus, mad-Giselles and insidious Odiles; next in line would be the neoclassical works of George Balanchine, many abstract, contrary to story ballets, but with that superbly graceful yet athletic use of movement and line that makes me marvel. In fact, this was not an easy ballet to watch. The second act left one constantly on edge, with many sound elements that were grating and shrill.
Yet no other choreographer maximizes the use of movement to reach into the soul quite the way Eifman does. It is this use of dance to "speak" without words, to bare all parts of the soul and psyche – good and bad—with the integrity and rawness Eifman does that earns his Rodin, and the talent of his dancers, my utmost respect. It was not the romantic beauty of the story and characters that I so cherish in story ballets, yet the use of the dance in the way Eifman choreographs renders him an artist of the highest degree. He is a genius in his own right, contributing as much to the world of psychological ballet as Marius Petipa or George Balanchine did to their genres.
Several other aspects of the production were masterful, including: the dancers themselves, the lighting and design, and the fact that this ballet challenged and intensified my own appreciation for dance in the way that it did.
Eifman's dancers are, for anyone who does not dance professionally, in the realm of the 'extraterrestrial'- while I mean that as a compliment, their bodies are so flexible as to be other-worldly. The specificity of their technique and training puts them in a class with some of the top ballet companies in the world, yet Eifman's focus and interpretation of dance would make 'classical ballet' not quite the appropriate description. All dancers are artists, athletes and actors wrapped in one, and Eifman's dancers almost add other components of dramaturgs and psychologists. In dance, bodies are the instrument and media of art, so in this piece of the life of an artist, the bodies take on a triple-purpose, of the 'props' used to tell Rodin's story as a sculptor; of art in and of themselves; and, in the case of Eifman's use of dance, of baring the soul and mind as well.
Oleg Gabyshev as Rodin, Lyubov Andreyeva and Camille, and Nina Zmievets as Rose Beuret, Rodin's wife, are not only exquisite dancers, but would be well-deserving of Academy Awards. They put as much energy and passion into their acting as their dancing in a way that makes the two arts inseparable. One of the most beautiful choreographic scenes is a pas de trois between the three of them in Act II, as Rodin torn between the two woman.
The lighting and set design, by Gleb Filshtinsky and Boris Eifman, are integral to the performance in a way set designs are. The designs often actually incorporated the dancers' bodies themselves. A particularly noteworthy piece was a the beginning of Act II, where a framed piece with geometric divisions held the dancers bodies against a greenish-yellowish background. The dancers moved within this frame like sea anemones. Another noteworthy lighting arrangement was that surrounding the poster image for Rodin, where he is carrying Camille with her head on his shoulders, in a pose both sexualized and fetal-like, with lights that one would find in a stage dressing room against a dark-setting and shaped in a modern arrangement. He also uses lighting to mark the transition to the mental ward scenes, with distorted, wavering lines reflecting the disorder in the psyche for those in the mental institutions.
The four composers of whose music Rodin is comprised—Maurice Ravel, Camille Saint-Saens, Jules Massenet and Erik Satie—are all French musicians of roughly the same era, the mid-to-latter 19th century to the 20th century. The pieces used in Rodin are each appropriate to the given scene, yet often sharply contrast with the music of the previous scene. The music in the second act reflects Camille's descent into insanity. It was music that was not 'enjoyable' to me, but fitting to the ballet's story and character's emotions.
For those with a strong appreciation for dance as a form of communication, that can provide a window into all parts of our being—the beautiful, romantic, tragic, disturbing and all in between —this ballet is a must-see work of a true genius. Again, Eifman, in my mind, is a colossal figure in the world of dance, unparalleled in using dance in this way as the language that obliterates the need for all others. However, this was not your "relaxing" performance, one where you can totally immerse yourself in the poignancy of story ballets, marvel at the feats of the principal, or feel like singing and dancing with joy yourself after, say, Alvin Ailey. This ballet was challenging and intense, forcing a confrontation not only with the themes presented- jealousy, insanity, career vs. personal life choices—but with the reality of the fact of the power of our very bodies alone to reveal every aspect of our beings. In the case of this story, a reality that, via jealousy and sexual passion, transformed the life of Camille Claudel.
This show closes today, but we wanted to let you know about this company for future reference-

Fear and dread in Sydney
A thrilling day of Test cricket has ended in dejection for Pakistan fans and deserved joy for Australia. I say ended, but the gloom set in as soon as Mohammad Yousuf put two fingers up to the warrior tradition of Pakistan cricket by setting a field for 800 for 8 instead of 80 for 8. Cricket is all about numbers and their interpretation, and Yousuf misinterpreted the numbers of hope and anticipation for the numbers of fear and dread.
Captains are celebrated when they turn a match with a fortunate bowling change or a clever fielding position. When they fail it is often quite hard to pinpont the decisive moment unless it is an error at the toss. Yet, Yousuf did something remarkable. For a whole session he pursued such a glaringly flawed strategy that he killed Pakistan's ambitions of winning their first Test in Australia since the mid 1990s. He will always be remembered for it: glorious failures are the stuff of legend.
What goes on inside Yousuf's head is something of a mystery. What motivates him? Why does he choose defence when the whole world would attack? As a younger batsman, he would launch an all-out batting assault at the most inappropriate moments. He must empathise with the rash strokemakers in his team because he has been one of them, and was perhaps among them again today. What goes on inside his head that he can blame his lofted drive for Pakistan's defeat, an uncontrolled moment, but seem oblivious to the two and half hours of stupidity that eased the pressure on Australia, played Australia into form, and allowed them a winning advantage?
It is difficult to be too hard on the man. He blames himself enough, he hurts like the rest of us, and he does care. But is that enough to be captain of Pakistan? It is a position that Yousuf has coveted, and believed he was unfairly denied for too long. Sometimes, however, the ambitions of our hearts and heads overestimate the sum of our capabilities. A close observation of Yousuf's captaincy has been alarming viewing during this cricket season, defensive and uninspiring in the extreme, only serving to reinforce the suspicion that he is captain by default. This morning's session was Yousuf reverting to what he knows best at a time of pressure. At such moments are captains judged.
Yousuf remains Pakistan's best Test batsman but the concern is that while the captaincy has delivered a newfound determination to his batting, it may have also made him less prolific. Is this a situation that Pakistan can afford with the national team's poverty of batting riches? Pakistan's problem is that alternatives are few. Younis Khan is out favour and out of love with the captaincy. Kamran Akmal has plenty of problems of his own before saddling him with another responsibility.
Worse still, Yousuf doesn't have enough tactical support among his senior players and his management team. Pakistan captains have never turned to Intikhab Alam for advice, his non-interference is the reason they have always kept him. Even Waqar Younis, wonderful bowler that he was, found captaincy a struggle. Where does a rookie, naturally defensive captain find a mentor in the Pakistan camp? The answer is nowhere. It is every man for himself with the vultures circling for a kill.
Yet is it Yousuf's fault that he was appointed to a post that is beyond his capabilities? That responsibility of course lies with the Pakistan Cricket Board, its chairman and selectors. These are the men, and their predecessors, who have grown fat on the largesse of administrative perks while the cricket team has withered at their whim. When your country's cricket structure boasts a spine of Ijaz Butt, Iqbal Qasim, Intikhab Alam, and Yousuf you probably don't need any further explanation. Who will hold these people accountable?
Pakistan's cricket has been given a false veneer of progress by three factors. First is the excellence of Pakistan's bowling attack, which has developed into a major force over the last year. Second is the emergence of Umar Akmal to add some thrills to a declining batting order. Finally, New Zealand were poor and Australia have been below par too, keeping Pakistan's wobbling enterprise on the tracks.
Nor is it that Pakistan's problems are new or unpredicted: The openers, namely Imran Farhat. The number three position and absence of Younis Khan. A tail that has forgotten how to wag, especially with failures from Misbah-ul-Haq and Kamran Akmal. Fielding and wicket keeping below top international standards. And a struggling captain. That's just about everything except the bowling. These areas of weakness have been obvious too, no stroke of genius to observe that Pakistan could do much better.
The first disappointment is that this is not the best of Pakistan that has represented us Down Under in Test cricket. The second is that the selected players, with notable exceptions, failed to put on the show of their lives to win the final day for their country. It's not the defeat but the manner of it that will be etched painfully into the brain of every Pakistani supporter who saw it. Defeat from the mother of all jaws of victory.
The deficiencies in batting, fielding, and wicketkeeping have been analysed to death. Change or improvement is required in all these areas. But the biggest loss that Pakistan has suffered is the loss of leaders on the pitch and in the dressing room. Umar, Mohammad Aamer, and Mohammad Asif deserve other warriors among them, and the top of my priority list would be recalls for Younis and Shahid Afridi. And if Younis is unwilling, for Yousuf is incapable, then the drum beats for Afridi's captaincy must be growing louder.
Would you prefer a coward's death or a warrior's? As I've said before, this is the most critical period in the history of Pakistan cricket. It has to be all not nothingness.

Masters Of The Universe The Theif Of
Masters Of The Universe: The Theif Of Castle Greyskull Essay, Research Paper
As evening approaches on the planet Eternia, the Masters of the Universe ? guardians of good ? gathered outside of the Castle Grayskull. Their leader He-Man spoke to them from atop a turret of the castle. ?It is our duty to guard Castle Grayskull, and the secret locked inside, from the evil demon Skeletor!? At the very mention of the Dark Lords name, the wind turned cold and black clouds hid the sun. ?Something is wrong,? said Man-at-Arms, uneasily. ?Yes,? Princess Teela agreed, ?there is something I don?t like about this.? ?You may like it even less in a moment,? warned Stratos. ?Look!? The Masters of the Universe glanced skyward. Skeletor?s evil magic had made a terrible storm. A whirlwind ripped Castle Grayskull from its foundation and carried it high into the sky, taking He-Man with it. ?I have to hold on!? said He-Man as he his finger tips struggled for grip at the edge of the castle. But even the strongest man in the universe was no match for the fury of Skeletor?s storm winds. Crack! The battlement crumbled in He-Mans hand, and Eternia?s mightiest champion fell towards the ground far bellow. Putting his own safety aside, Stratos ? Prince of the Skies ? bounded into the air, flapping his mighty wings. Straining against the raging winds, he swooped high and caught He-Man just in time before he hit the ground. But the powerful winds were too strong for Stratos. The extra burden of He-Man?s weight made it impossible for him to stay aloft. Both heroes were being sucked into the swirling vortex of the tornado. ?Leave me, Stratos!? He-Man shouted as the storm blew them toward a rocky mountaintop. ?Save yourself while there is still time!? The Sky-Prince shook his head. ?No, my friend,? he said. ?The Lord of Destruction has not beaten us yet!? ?Then hold tight,? He-Man said as he drew his Sword of Power. With one mighty swing he drove the powerful blade into the side of the mountain where it anchored them safely until the raging storm had passed. Carrying He-Man, Stratos flew back to the Masters of the Universe. Teela breathed a sigh of relief. ?Thank goodness you?re both safe,? she said. ?Skeletor has stolen Castle Grayskull,? He-Man replied grimly. ?None of us are safe now!? Meanwhile, at that very moment, far away in his lair deep inside Snake Mountain, Skeletor and his evil ally Beast Man were standing at the edge of a dark, watery pool. The images of the Masters of the Universe were reflected in the pool?s magical depths. ?The first part of my enchantment went perfectly,? sneered Skeletor. ?Now we must go to the Land of Shadows to complete the spell!? With a wave of Skeletor's evil staff, he and Beast Man warped to the Land of Shadows. This was the place Skeletor had chosen to be the new home of Castle Grayskull. The Lord of Destruction raised his arms toward the dark skies. To complete the theft of Castle Grayskull, he chanted an ancient spell. ?Storm winds howl, and storm winds shriek?bring me now, that which I seek!? ?It worked!? Beast Man growled, as the Castle landed. ?Castle Grayskull has been transported to the Land of Shadows!? ?Of course it worked, you fool,? the Dark Lord hissed. ?The Sorceress who lives in the castle and acts as its guardian was out on a mission. I seized the chance to steal the unprotected castle. But my work is not complete. He-Man will come looking for the castle. And when he does, he will be mine!?
While Skeletor plotted the takeover of Eternia, the Masters of the Universe pondered their next move. ?I can?t believe it,? said Teela. ?Castle Grayskull?gone!? He-Man drew his Sword of Power and spoke. ?Never has Eternia faced such danger. We must venture into the dreaded Land of Shadows ? that region now controlled by Skeletor. At first I did not understand his reason for taking it over. Now I am certain he intends to make it the new home of Castle Grayskull. It is there we must go to find the castle!? On Battle Cat, He-Man led the Masters of the Universe into the Land of Shadows ? a land turned foul with Skeletor?s evil. Nothing grew here anymore. The once fertile land lay barren.
On they pressed, deeper into the darkness. With each step the feeling of dread seemed to grow. Still they kept on searching for Skeletor and the stolen castle. The quest was long, for the Land of Shadows was vast. The Masters of the Universe faced many hardships and covered much ground before they finally found Castle Greyskull. But their biggest challenge still awaited them.
?Stand fast!? He-Man commanded. ?Beast Man leads a demon army against us!?
The battle raged fiercely as Beast Man and the foul demons fought the mighty Masters of the Universe. Suddenly the air was split with the boom of thunder and the flash of lightning. ?Who dares to enter the Land of Shadows?? shouted Skeletor from atop Castle Greyskull.
?You know who we are,? He-Man shouted back, ?and why we are here, Dark Lord!?
Using his tremendous strength and agility, He-Man leapt atop the castle wall?but Skeletor acted quickly. ?I have Castle Greyskull now, He-Man!? the Dark Lord boasted. ?Soon I will unlock the secret within, and I will be Master of all Eternia!? With that, he fired the laser cannon. He-Man ducked the laser. ?More than once you tried to discovered the secret of Castle Greyskull,? said He-Man as he swung his sword of power. ?And more than once I have stopped you!? ?You can?t win, He-Man! I am the Lord of Destruction!? ?And we are the Masters of the Universe ? Defenders of Castle Greyskull!? Said He-Man as his Sword of Power clashed with Skeletor?s staff. Skeletor suddenly lowered his Havoc Staff. ?Enough,? he said. ?I surrender.? ?Be careful,? warned Man-at-Arms. ?This is some foul trick!? ?No trick,? the Dark Lord hissed with an evil laugh. ?Magic!? An energy bolt flew from Skeletor?s Havoc Staff, heading straight for He-Man.
He-Man blocked the mystic bolt with his Sword of Power and turned Skeletor?s evil magic against him! Engulfed in his own wicked spell, Skeletor vanished in a burst of blinding light as the Masters of the Universe shielded their eyes.
With Skeletor gone, his hold over the Land of Shadows was broken. When his spell disappeared, Castle Greyskull faded from sight and returned to its original location. The sun came out and drove the demons away. The trees began to turn green, and the flowers began to bloom.
?Skeletor will move on,? He-Man said. ?There will be other Shadow Lands.?
?Maybe,? Teela responded, ?but for now, the beauty has returned to this land.?

Does Pet Bowl Go-Round Really Work?
The joys of having a pet comes with equal responsibilities, which includes ensuring that they are safely and comfortably leashed. However, this is easier said than done because it is common for pets to get tangled on their leash when they roam around. The Pet Bowl Go-Round claims to solve this problem. A food container with a non-tipping bowl on top that prevents spillage, the Pet Bowl Go-Round also serves as a leash base for securing pets. The PetBowl Go-Round rotates 360 degrees in order to allow spacious movement. This portable product is said to be made from highly durable materials that can withstand up to 600 lbs. of force. It is also equipped with a steel cable to prevent the bowl from being chewed. The Pet Bowl Go-Round is designed with 4 metal stakes that holds the base firmly in the ground.

A charter is an essential document for defining the scope and purpose of an Executive IT Committee. The committee is an excellent tool to make the business accountable for the IT investment decisions it wants made. This charter outlines:
- Key members
- Agenda items
- Purpose of the committee
- Formal mandate of the committee
Without a charter to control this committee, the IT department could find the rest of the enterprise is overly involved in day-to-day IT operations, or not involved enough in IT decision making.

Song for Wakesurf Video?
Whats a song some of you would like to see be put with a Wakesurf Video?
I like this one a lot. It really seems to fit what we are all doing.
I have to respectfully disagree with Mike. This song seems to fit a bit better with what wakesurfing is all about.
Yo B ....I don't think that the wakesurf GP is ready for Snoop and Wiz
Y'all are joking , right? I got to bout 10 sec of each song and quit :eek:
I was thinking earlier today about this same subject when I heard The Cars "Moving in Stereo". I think it would be cool if edited properly, not that I know or pretend to know anything about editing videos.
^LOL Ragboy and I talked about a scene he should do for that song last year!
I think your right drew! and we have some ideas using some Mac Miller instrumentals and some dubstep remix songs hopefully itll come out siick
Mitch, that was funny. At least, I hope to all that is holy, that was a joke.
RJ and I have this discussion all of the time, 2 songs that come to mind that we are looking forward to thumping in the boat.
This first one, we like the NON remix better, but hard to find on YT.

And then something old school.

Those are some sick choices man!
We have came to the conclusion we are going to be using this one
Im hoping no one steals the idea

It was such fun to meet many of the co-authors of The Catholic Mom's Prayer Companion at the book launch last month at the Catholic Marketing Network Trade Show. What a thrill to be one of the authors of this classic book of daily reflections!
When my copies of The Catholic Mom's Prayer Companion arrived in my mailbox, I was elated. What a joy to have this in my hands and leaf through it to see the abundance of wisdom flowing from these CatholicMom.com authors to moms everywhere.
I looked up my pages that I wrote a year ago to review the dates that I selected for my personal reflections. When I read what I had written, I remembered typing those words, editing them, and sending them to Sarah Reinhard. Reading them now gives me a little chill of excitement and a dose of humility. Why? I realized that these reflections were not my words, but like the quotes that begin each entry, those of the Holy Spirit. He inspired me with the words he gave me to inspire others. I can unabashedly recommend this precious book because I believe the Holy Spirit inspired the other authors as well.

Now the astute amongst you will notice two things (well only one if you're reading this by RSS):
- I'm forgoing my regular Quick Quotes Weekly.
- There are some subtle changes here on the site.
Both of these anomalies are in service of something that I cannot wait for you to check out. My friend Mike Vardy, a well known "productivitist"1, and I are starting the aptly named Mikes on Mics podcast.
What's it about? It will be a weekly conversation between two techies as we talk about striving to live a more productive life. Well, Mike strives and I struggle, but I digress… It will be a mixture of tips, tricks, tools and tactics, but we also want to take steps back to look at the bigger picture. We want to give context as to how productivity fits into our work, our hobbies and most importantly of all, our families.
So why the hell am I doing this? It's a fair point and to be honest, it started as a sarcastic remark on Twitter to Mike Vardy. He jumped on the idea and I finally admitted that it was something I'd secretly been considering for a while. It also really jives with my personal goals for the year. My three words are Build, Connect and Deepen and this project strikes all three chords:
- It gives me the opportunity to make something using many of the techie skills I've picked up over the past year,
- It will allow me to drag several of my amazing internet friends on and hopefully expose more of you to more of their great work.
- Best of all, it will allow me to deepen my relationship with listeners and guests of the show. It also lets me continue to grow my budding friendship with Mr. Vardy2, someone I've always respected and have quickly grown to trust.
Speaking of, who the hell is Mike Vardy? I'm glad you asked! Mike is a seasoned and consummate podcasting pro, which makes up for my amateurish ways. His resume could easily fill a post of its own, but you can currently find his personal writing at Vardy.me and he is one of the two editors over at Lifehack.org. Mike's a fellow believer in the power of productivity done right3 and is a generally all around good guy4. If you aren't already following him, you should be.
And why is there a need for yet another productivity podcast? Great question! Unfortunately you're going to have to listen to Episode Zero, the aptly titled "Dear God, Not Another Productivity Podcast", to find out why.
Our first official episode will post on Monday, but in the meantime, it would mean the world to me if you'd give Episode Zero a listen and subscribe in iTunes. We're just getting our legs underneath us, so bear with us as Mike gets me over the podcasting learning curve. I have a feeling there are going to be several interesting conversations and amazing guests along the way. I hope you follow along.
