Alan and Sheila Degener often walk the path that winds its way through the tall trees of the Auke Village Recreation Area. But they've been more cautious about the eastern end of the trail recently because some of the trees are toppling over.
"We didn't come out here for a while because of the trees," Sheila Degener said during a hike earlier this week.
About a half-dozen trees, including one almost 80 feet tall and 2 feet thick, have fallen in recent months. More are leaning, some caught up in other trees and a few rooted in soil on the verge of breaking away from a nearby slope.
Trees fall in the forest all the time, but this unstable stand surrounds a well-used trail, picnic table and fire circle in the popular park. That's why U.S. Forest Service staffer Marc Scholten put up signs Thursday warning hikers to stay out of the area.
Scholten said the forest was fine until Glacier Highway's Auke Bay Bypass went in nearby and changed the hydrology of the area, making the soil less firm.
"Somehow there's a lot more water moving through there," he said. "We've had numerous trees come down or be uprooted. We've also had a large rock come down the hill."
Forest Service staffers have cut fallen trees blocking trails, but some of those left leaning pose a hazard to cutters and need to be taken out by professionals. Scholten said that will happen in the spring, when experts come to town to train Forest Service staff on chain-saw use. The result won't be pretty.
"When there's so many trees in that state of flux, when you start cutting you're going to have to do a lot of cutting," he said. "People aren't going to like the outcome. There's going to be a big hole in there."
The path through the Auke Rec woods follows a relatively level route, meandering from shelters to restrooms to picnic tables. Flights of metal stairs connect to the road above, and sandy paths lead to the rocky beach below, arcing around a bay dotted with red crab-pot buoys, feeding ducks and occasional sea-lion snouts.
Numerous trees along the trail lean one way or the other, some holding ferns sprouting from clumps of branch-caught composted leaves, others dangling ropes knotted for use by swinging children.
Along the trail, piles of cut wood and chips show where maintenance crews have cleared the path of previous falls. The freshest cuts are in the tree-fall area, at the east end of the trail below the terminus of Otter Way, west of Indian Cove and the Auke Bay Ferry Terminal.
This part of the trail sees less use than the western bluff and beach, where picnics and parties often are held. Still, one morning this week, a half-dozen hikers passed in a 30-minute period.
The path is popular because it is level, sheltered and often less icy than other trails, said John d'Armand, who frequently walks the area.
"A few days ago my wife and I stood at the bottom of the trees and we just wanted to get out of there," he said. "It seemed awfully unsafe to me."
Doug Blanc of the Forest Service said staffers are checking the area every few days to assess the situation. Scholten said warning signs posted Thursday should help, although they won't keep everyone away. In the meantime, the remaining unbalanced trees probably won't fall without warning.
"These trees, when they come down, they come down in a storm," Scholten said. "And most times, people aren't using our areas in a storm."

I know for many of you, Alstry's blogging seemed repetitive. Trust me I know. Although the theme was obnoxiously consistent...the facts in almost every blog was very different.
It was Alstry's theme that America is shutting through job losses and and deterioration in business conditions and failures. In almost every blog, not only did Alstry provide a new fact, most of the time the appropriate link was also inserted.
It is one thing if layoffs occur in one state or one geographical area. but when they occur in practically every state...something very different. Same with government revenue contractions and consequent layoffs. If it is one city, or county or state or region it is not as severe as if it is practically every municipality and state.
We see the same with revenue evaporation in business. If it was just housing or autos or transporation or manufacturing or chemicals or hotels or commercial real estate or technology it would be one thing, something very different if all of the above.
It order to provide an accurate perspective of such wide economic destruction, it takes a lot of facts. And a lot of facts have been provided with almost 2000 blogs and thousands of more in comments with links.
If you go back an look, you will note that very few links were ever repeated...very few. Sometimes one was taken from a comment and elevated to a blog because I thought it was important.
As we approach 9.09, most of you will recognize that America is shutting down and our economic outlook is getting worse, not better.
With millions upon millions of layoffs and wage cuts ahead of us, a Fed who refuses to alleviate the burden of debt on our society(and actually increasing the burden by tightening credit and raising interest rates) while bailing out its bankers by giving them free money and allowing them to loan that same money back to tax payers at much higher rates, and rewarding failure by letting those that issue debt profit from the demise of that debt through credit default swaps(could you imagine if your surgeon could take out a massive life insurance policy on you just before surgery? most would be able to plan their funeral going into the ER).
For three years, I have watched business after business in America destroy their balance sheet by making insane moves...moves not too different than Detroit, a bankrupt city wanting to borrow $500 million for new schools. Banks wrote the debt because they made a ton of money profiting from the demise of the business and loan through swaps. In effect, banks were incentivized to write bad loans, destroy the target of the debt, and in the process millions of legitimate companies were put out of business as well trying to compete with a swap induced money losing business.
The more important question is why was this allowed...why were swaps permitted. They are not very complicated to understand when you really think about it...they are simply insurance policies on debt without the normal safeguards in place in other areas of insurance. Why would the FED allow the underwriter of the debt profit from the destruction of the debt...seems like a conflict of interest doesn't it?
After a lot of blogging and a lot of linking the crash is upon us. The only thing that hasn't crashed is the stock market....yet. With many Americans leveraged on their homes, millions have lost ALL of their equity and and more in the last few years. Same with commerical real estate. Our cities and states are cutting at unprecdented levels. The post office is slowing so much that its survival is in jeopordy. Almost every industry that is not the recipient of government spending is suffering right now. The only thing left is the stock market even though the underlying debt coverage is deteriorating.
An interesting time as we head into 9.09....and you have the facts to support it.
I always thought it was because behind *Alstry* is a band of Nigerian scam artists that like to fill their free time blogging between phishing expeditions.
I'm kidding! Nigerian scam artists don't have that kind of time on their hands with all that money rolling in.
Going forward, you will also learn one thing. The only thing that matters in investing is whether your government is solvent. In the past, Americans have never concerned themselves with this issue as we have historically been the greatest capitialist power in the world.
It is sorta like running a business on a beach in Indonesia...you are trying to grow and outperform your competitors as you grow the value of your business. But if a tsunami is coming, the only thing that matter is the tsunami.
Up until very recently, our private capitalist economy supported our government and its spending. Due to the Fed induced zombulation policies supported by credit default swaps, our private economy is evaporating while at the same time our government is growing.
Industry after industry has reported revenue declines of 20% and more while government has grown by over 50% in the past few years.
Starting at a base line of 100....if both started at the same point the private economy would be a relative 80 and government would be at 150.
It appears this trend is continuing as government keeps stimulating and private business keeps shrinking.
Think about the consequences of that as we go forward. Think about the control government will have over its citizens?
It appears we are just about there as you are being told everything is getting better. If this trend continues, pretty soon it won't matter and niether will your investments.
The New American Business Model...Reward Shrinking
Shares of Williams-Sonoma soared 14% in pre-market trading. The share price almost doubled this year.
Revenue fell 18% to $672 million as same-store sales declined 15%.
Under Chief Executive Howard Lester, Williams-Sonoma lowered merchandise inventory by 21%, cut 1.2 million square feet of distribution capacity and 80,000 square feet of leased office space to trim costs and bolster the bottom line in light of declining sales. The company said it also plans to increase projected permanent store closings by the end of the year to 16 from nine.
When you can book profits by buying back your distressed debt at a discount and fund your pension with over valued shares of stock.....WHO REALLY CARES IF YOU SELL ANYTHING?
As we keep cutting....soon there will be nothing left to cut.
I hear you on WSM. This earnings pop makes no sense to me. IMO, aggressive cost control measures, at this point, should do nothing more than prevent further price erosion and not bubble inflate share price.
The only thing that matters in investing is whether your government is solvent.
Alstry - do you in 9.09 expect this to be questioned?
Hmmm.... well, this blog makes no sense. Alstry[nomics] blogs for the sake of supporting an obnoxiously consistent theme.
That is *what* Alstry[nomics] does.
But what drives an entity to blog soooooo much? What are the intentions? Why Does Alstry Blog So Much? And why will Alstry[nomics] mock and ridicule me for seeking the details of the very same question Alstry[nomics] put forth?
Folks, if you haven't figured it out yet, we are already living in some of the worst times this nation has seen. There is not much anyone can do except wait this storm out. If anyone tells you otherwise, I recommend you find out exactly what they propose you do. You'll find that the answer is as useless as the mainstream media. Which, oh by the way, is where Alstry[nomics] get the majority of its so called facts.
Further, as we move through September and approach October.....you will start to see, as the distress continues to rise, more and more Americans question capitalism.
When over 150,000,000 million Americans are already dependent on the government for income....you are really not that far from a totally government dependent economy.
It was not hard to foresee. When you infect the PRIVATE economy with a debt level that mathematically can't be paid back, and financially incentivize the bankers and CEO's to do it, it will not take much time for the private economy to implode.
We are now here. New Home Sales down 90% in dollar value. CRE imploded. The only way we can sell cars is pay people to buy them. and on and on.
The private economy can no longer support government spending and government has become the economy.
Where this goes is anyone's guess...but I am pretty sure you are going to start seeing some amazing issues raised as we enter into September.
Glen Beck is a good beginning where the controversy is being raised.....strange for a person I never really respected at the outset.
My guess is because Alstry is scared and unprepared. Poorly positioned for any dooms day scenario and freaking out in his mind until it comes out as a blathering repetative rant. That's just my guess.
Alstry is not really freaking ....things are getting much clearer.....as we approach 0.09. The facts are the facts and there really is not much we can do about it......as many choose to ignore the facts.
Over half of all Americans are dependent on reckless government spending to survive and now over half of all Americans likely to contract H1N1?
Brings a new twist to Half and Half as we head into September.....now it depdends on which half you are sitting with?
I got swine flu a few weeks ago, really not a big deal. Cough and cold, some fever - nothing that Tylenol couldn't fix. It's all hype. That said, I've sold my stocks, and will rebuy on the dip.
National Debt Clock (real time)
Alstry has a pretty good thing going here. If he's right, he looks like a genius, and if he's wrong, no one will remember him. Win-win in the 15 minutes of fame world.
LOL!! Thanks so much for actually taking a shot at answering the question this blog is asking.
If you consider this fame....you have no clue my friend;)
As far as 9.09......it is already here.....you just don't know it yet.
The sad part is those that follow/worship this entity will sink with it. Keeping an open mind is key in these times, and Alstry[nomics] will not allow that (it's Alstry's way or no way, much the same as cult leaders operate)
You know it's not true. People read Alstry's blog for lots of different reasons. Look at yourself. There is no cult, only interested readers. Alstry presents his view and supports it. That's it.
He may be wrong or he may be right or he may be crazy. Time will tell.
Actually jd my most faithful reader if you judge by the number of comments he makes on my blog.
Some people are just addicted to the facts.
He doesn't have to read....he choose to and he reads much more than most.
Weg915: Agreed. I don't play CAPs, I'm not in the market, I don't know enough about it to be proficient nor care enough to learn it. I've made my money in real estate, dodging the majority of the excesses of crass materialism in the last 3 decades and through hard work.
I read most of Alstry's stuff because as a former small business owner that decided to kill (close) my business before it got killed (bottom line costs rising, earnings flat or falling) I see the USA's financial situation that he sees but he's a much more entertaining and macro oriented read than most of the "stuff it in a mattress" or dry breakdowns of the minutia of various safe investment approaches for the fiscally conservative. It's just that simple.
Famous enough to set up your own website and sell advice. Who would want any more fame than that anyway?
I too have been waiting for the correction, but total collapse, not likely.

Hey, Im BaezLee. Im not actually a Wiccan nor nothing like that... I don't follow the path of other gods. Im a christian, who just want to know about this art(not practice it). I want to know some magic practitioners. Get to know them, about their beliefs. I just want to clarify my view about magic practitioners.
Anyways, I'm hoping to find some testimonies from witches. Share your beliefs, which paths are you following, which is your patron god or goddess, were you following a religion before practicing witchcraft?, etc.
Also, you are all free to ask me questions if you want. Maybe we can clarify misunderstoods, etc.

What I Gained After I Accidentally Lost My Taste for Liquor
It was the third Manhattan that did it.
I had intended only two, (they were strong, and that's about my limit these days) but the bartender was a friend, and just before last call he brought another to our table. What could I do? I drank it, it was free. And I then I spent the next two days in wrenching, head-pounding, gut-churning misery the likes of which I had never experienced.
I'm still not exactly sure what happened, or why three measly drinks would cause such a violent reaction, but when the hangover finally cleared, I found I myself with a strange new feeling: a complete aversion to alcohol.
At first I was sort of stunned—almost scared. I can't drink? I thought, But how will I interact with people, go to shows, do things? Oh my god what about brunch?
I'm not a "heavy" drinker, but alcohol is a basic part of my life. It's how I toast good news and soften bad; how I smooth out the edges of interactions with new friends; how I mark the end of the work day, or a rough day, or the middle of a sunny day. It has never even occurred to me to try and go without it.
But now I would have to?
A week after The Incident my husband and I went to a show. As we stood in the dark watching the band, I was acutely aware of the people around me: the guy in the rugby shirt fist pumping during the slow songs, and the drunk girl swaying cheerily into my personal space. I was distracted and uneasy. I didn't know what to do with my hands. I tried crossing my arms in front of me. I tried awkwardly hooking my thumbs into my belt-loops. Finally in a stroke of genius, I got myself a glass of club soda to hold, and all was well. But a few songs later, when my husband went to the bar to get his second $9 beer, I found myself doing some sober math.
In my previous life, a week before, I would have been on my second beer as well. Nine dollars each, plus tip: That's twenty dollars. Hey, I just saved us 20 bucks, I thought happily. I wonder how much we'd save if I keep this up…
The lack of booze meant I was alert enough to do word problems in my head. I began my calculations:
If we go out for drinks five times a month, and I have two each time, and they average $11 each, plus a $1-$2 dollar tip, that's…$125 a month? What's that times twelve? $1,500. Whoa, is that a lot? What about the drinks I make at home? If I have one half-size cocktail some afternoons, and a glass of wine most nights, what is that, $20 a week? That doesn't sound so bad, but…$1,040 a year? Yikes. God and then there are the drinks I get when we go out to eat. You gotta have a beer with your burger, right? Another $40 a month, maybe? $480 a year! What happens if we add all this up?
$3,020 a year? Am I kidding me?
I could not believe it: $3,020 is so much money. That is a trip to South America. That is 1.8 months worth of rent. That is all the good cotton dresses at Anthropologie right now.
As my husband came back from the bar, I was still furiously crunching numbers. He put his arm on my shoulder and I looked at him, then eyed his plastic cup of beer. If he quit too, we'd save twice as much. $6,040 a year! We'd be practically rich!
How could we have let this happen? We were frugal people. We shop at the discount grocery store; we cook at home nearly every night; we eat the leftovers for lunch; our furniture is thrifted; I basically never buy the good cotton dresses from Anthropologie.
Early in our relationship, when we were living on grad student stipends, we agonized about the cost of coffee and cheese, and once had a long debate in a Kmart about whether we could justify the purchase of soft, $6 bath towel when there was a thinner, slightly scratchy one right there for just $3. But we never questioned what we paid to drink. Without any discussion, we had both agreed that gracious living included a fully stocked liquor cabinet that you could offer to your guests, a few bottles of wine that cost more than $9, and a refrigerator full of cold, rewarding things. Alcohol was a part of grownup life. It was essential to feeling cordial and accommodating—the act of pouring as important as the act of drinking itself.
So what would our life look like if we gave it up? Would we become barbarians?
I made it through our next few social interactions unscathed. We had a couple over for dinner, and I watched them get loose and loud, while I sipped compulsively from my water glass—a bit too aware of the volume of my own voice, but feeling fine. We arrived late to a BBQ in a park, and I chomped veggie dogs and about a pound of baby carrots, while my friends drained what was left of the beer. So far so good.
The real test came about two weeks in, when we were invited out to a gorgeous bar in our neighborhood where they make those fancy handcrafted cocktails with the vaguely old-fashioned names. I am a sucker for these places—for well-made, unusual drinks in general—and the thought of sitting there in the dim light with our friends while they ordered their Trolley Cars and their Sarsaparilla Reds, while I sipped my sad little club soda with lime, was enough to make me consider staying home.
But I went, and here is what happened: The bar was as beautiful and atmospheric as ever, the jukebox played the songs I wanted to hear, my friends laughed and told stories and opened tabs, and I asked for a dash of bar-made bitters in my club soda with lime. I tipped the bartender extra. And as the night wore on, I found I was just as good at laughing and telling stories as I was when I was drinking more than club soda.
It was this last revelation that really got me. I'm a shy person, and holding a drink has always seemed like the only way around my own anxious social barriers. This is part of the reason I had unconsciously put alcohol into the "essentials" category of my finances. That drink stem I've been gripping all these years as I talk to scary people? Total Dumbo's feather.
It's been about four weeks now. I've tried a few sips here and there, but I can't say my taste for the stuff has come back. If my concert floor estimates were correct, I have theoretically saved myself $245 at this point, which, frankly, still seems a bit incredible.
It's kind of shaming that it took something physically unpleasant for me to actually look clearly at this aspect of my spending, but I guess I'm glad it happened. If/when I do get over this aversion, I feel like I'll be able to treat cocktails like the delightful gifts from the gods that they are, and no longer as an everyday necessity.
And then I will fly to South America.

Unfortunately the whole show (which takes 19 -20 minutes each) was removed from Youtube. Therefore I am posting here some short previews of it. The images are stunning, plus there are some interviews with architects and people on the streets.
One of the interviews which called my attention took place in a helicopter with an architect who plainly classified the way people live in two major categories: alpha and betha. In general lines, according to him, the bethas like "things and machines like cars, caravans and boats, lots of material stuff around them, collections and an organized, calm public space, beautiful gardens"- thus the people who live in horizontal areas such as the suburbia. The Alphas (he considered himself also to be one) are " people who like books". They like authenticity, love consumming culture, zigzaging in confusing streets and be piled upon other people - they are the urban people who live in apartment blocks in the big cities. They find it fine. The bethas have an aversion to crowded, urban chaos.
Gosh ! I immediately recognized I used to be an alpha when I arrived in the NL - I like the style of living amongst different people, ethnic diversity, having quick access to public transport, lots of culture, shops, entertainment. In another words: being in the world !
But... Hey, I am an alpha person living a betha life for most of the time I live in the NL. I had to make this concession to my husband, who enjoys living in the village where he was born and near to his parents. But I guess most people cannot choose - they live not according to their nature, but according to what their financial conditions allow them. I confess that now I have learned to enjoy living in the suburbia in the complete silence and one stone away from the woods which I can spot from my bedroom window. Mostly, I like to live in a village because many things I can easily do with a bike, I have lots of space and I know more and more nice people here (more social connections). And the security !! With kids this is an ideal lifestyle. The public transport to Amsterdam is also excellent. However, I confess that even during the decade I worked daily in Amsterdam I "needed" go there also now and then on the weekends on a regular basis just to have a shot of adrenaline that only big cities can provide. I love enjoying the view of the historical buildings, I fantasize about the centuries old stories those walls would tell if they could speak... Yes, a village doesn't offer too much mental stimulation... :( and can be quite monotonous :( and people think and live more or less the same way !
For now, enjoy some previews of the show Holland from Above. As I mentioned before, the whole episodes were removed from Youtube. When they are uploaded again, I will publish them here. Notice how busy and crowded The Netherlands can be. It didn't impress me much when I first arrived here because Rio has millions and millions of people piled up. But now I recognize The Netherlands are a never ending urban area. You are never really alone here. There's really no middle of nowhere.
Another short preview of the second show:
Alphas and bethas fragment:
By the way... Are you an alpha or betha ? If you could choose... would it be a house in a village or an apartment in a big city ? Culture or nature ?
*****Upadate 19th January: a friend just sent me a link to all episodes: http://nederlandvanboven.vpro.nl/bekijk-alle-afleveringen.html

Cardinals Fall to Salisbury
CUA gears up for another match on Saturday
WASHINGTON- The Catholic University men's and women's tennis teams battled the Salisbury Sea Gulls Friday night but both Cardinal squads came away with 9-0 losses. The men's team drops to .500 on the season going 6-6 and 1-3 in the Capital Athletic Conference while the women move to 7-4, 1-2 in the CAC.
Despite the losses the Cards had some solid efforts from both squads. On the men's side, number two singles John Dillon (River Forest, Ill.) gave Sea Gull Brendan Kincaid a run falling 6-4, 6-2. Also playing well was number six single player Nikolai Wajda (Springfield, Va.) who lost to Sean Larson 6-3, 6-3.
For the women, Emily McGlynn (Tallahassee, Fla.) dropped a marathon match to Jenny Rosler falling 7-6, 6-2 at the number two singles position. Caitlin Dunn (Hanover, Pa.) was strong in the number six singles slot falling to Kelly Fahrner 6-2, 6-3. In doubles play, Maureen Costello (Neenah, Wis.) and Mary Wargo (Manchester, N.H.) took it to the wire against Robyn Wendell and Hannah Parsons who won 8-4.
The Cardinals will have little rest as they gear up for a match against Goucher at the DuFour Center on Saturday. It is scheduled to begin at 11:00 a.m.

Deer repellents, barriers, and plant selection can help protect your garden from deer damage. With their deep brown eyes and graceful movements deer are a pleasure to watch, but when they get into your garden they can do a great deal of damage in a short amount of time.
Deer damage plants in three ways: by browsing branches, leaves, and shoots; by rubbing their antlers against the bark; and by scraping the soil around trees and shrubs.
Protecting your garden requires a multi-pronged approach. Following are a variety of techniques to consider.
Sprays and Granulars
These products work best when the deer population is low, there are other sources of food for the deer, and your neighbors are not using repellents. Deer tend to do the most damage during the winter months when other food is scarce. If you apply these products before deer start to feed in your garden the deer may go elsewhere to feed. Once they start browsing in your garden it will be harder to get them away from your garden.
Chemicals keep deer away either by smell or by taste. Taste-based products are sprayed directly on the plants, while smell based ones are applied to an area rather than to individual plants. Because taste-based come into direct contact with plant parts and may be poisonous, you should not use them on food crops.
There are dozens of commercial products on the market, with new ones appearing all the time. What works in one geographic location may not work in another. A chemical that works in one season may not work all year round; a product that keeps deer away one year may not do so the next year. For these reasons, homeowners should not rely solely on one product.
Not all commercial products sold are equally effective. Plantskydd, Hinder, Ro-pel, Ani-spray, Deer Away, Enviro Pro, and Liquid Fence are just a few of the many products that have been used successfully in some locations and circumstances.
For safety reasons and to get the most from the repellents, it is important to read product labels and follow instructions. Apply on windless days when the temperature is above 40 degrees. Most repellents must be re-applied periodically.
Homemade Repellents
Gardeners, homeowners, nursery owners, and even researchers have experimented with repellents made from home ingredients. Eggs, hair, hot peppers, and soap are among the most popular ingredients.
As with all chemicals, homemade or not, there is no magic bullet, no universally successful homemade remedy. The recipes that follow are simple to make. Various users report success with each one of them—at some time, under certain circumstances. According to users' reports, the whole egg repellent may be the most effective of the homemade recipes.
The only way to know if these homemade products will work for you is to try them. (By the way, coyote urine and blood meal, two popular homemade deterrents, rarely work for deer.)
Whole Egg Repellent
Mix two whole eggs and one or two cups water in a blender. To prevent your sprayer from clogging, remove and discard the white membrane around the yolks before blending.
Add this mixture to a gallon of water and spray on plants. Reapply two or three times a season.
Warning: Do not use the egg repellent near the house because it has an awful smell.
Hot Pepper Repellent
Put three fresh hot peppers (red cayenne, jalapeno, or habanera) through a food processor with enough water to liquefy the peppers. Strain the liquid through cheesecloth into a jar (one quart or larger). Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, one squirt of paper glue, and two drops of liquid dishwashing soap. To use, mix one part of this concentrate in five parts water. Shake the mixture well before applying with a sprayer. Reapply after rain or snow or when new growth appears.
Warning: Hot pepper recipes is can be dangerous! Wear gloves and goggles when mixing and spraying to keep it off your skin and out of your eyes.
Tabasco Repellent
Mix equal parts Tabasco sauce and water and spray on plants. This is a variation on the hot pepper repellent.
Soap Repellent
Put bars of fragrant soap in a nylon stockings or similar mesh holders. Tie the holders to small trees or shrubs. This is an area repellent; one bag protects about one square yard.
Hair Bags
Like soap repellent, hair are area repellents that you hang from trees. Human hair is most commonly used, but some people report success with dog hair as well. Hang hair bags three feet apart.
Fences are the only sure way to keep deer out of a garden—and even they are not 100 percent foolproof.
Non-electric fences
Deer don't like to be caged in, so a four-foot high fence may be enough to keep deer out of a small garden. For larger areas the fence needs to be eight feet high. Slanting the fence outward seems to make it more effective.
Typical fences are made of wire or plastic mesh. Streamers placed four feet off the ground every twelve feet warn the deer of the fence.
Electric fences
A single strand electric fence may work for a home garden, but five-, seven-, and nine-wire electric fences are not uncommon. Baiting the fence with peanut butter attracts the deer to the fence, where they get a corrective shock that may train them to stay away.
Protectors placed around the trunks of small trees or shrubs may help prevent browsing. Protectors can be made from woven wire, plastic tree wrap, or polypropylene, and should reach four-to-five feet up the trunks.
Electronic Devices
Electronic devices use high frequency sound waves, motion sensors, and other humane technologies to keep deer out of gardens. With Yard Sentinel and similar electronic repellents you can choose from a variety of methods to repel deer without disturbing your family and your neighbors.
Water sprinklers operate with timers or motion sensors to spray water on unsuspecting deer, making your garden an inhospitable place for browsing. Guardener A201 Animal Repellent and Scarecrow Motion Activated Sprinkler are two popular high velocity water devices.
Scare Devices
Strobe lights, fireworks, sirens, loud music, and gas exploders may keep deer away, but only for a week or two until the deer get used to them. In urban and suburban settings scare devices will bother the humans more than the deer.
Gardening with Deer in Mind
A smart gardener can have a successful garden even where deer are in the neighborhood. By choosing certain plants over others and placing them carefully, you can limit deer damage in your home landscape.
Placement of Plants
Place plants deer favor close to the house or in fenced in areas.
Plant Care
Deer prefer tender, young shoots and buds. Too much fertilizer in the fall encourages new growth at a time when other food is scarce.
Deer Resistant Plants
While no plant is 100 percent deer proof, some are less likely to be damaged by deer than others. Deer will eat almost any plant, but they have definite preferences. You can reduce the risk of damage to your garden by growing flowers, trees, and shrubs that deer don't favor.
In general deer stay away from plants that have thorns or prickly stems or leaves, plants with hairy leaves, plants that are poisonous, and plants with milky sap. They also tend to steer clear of plants with strong tastes or smells.
Following are two lists: plants deer rarely damage and plants deer commonly damage. Be aware that these lists vary greatly from one geographic area to another. And, if food is scarce deer may browse plants they passed over in the past. If they are hungry enough they will eat anything!
Plants Deer Rarely Damage
Colorado Spruce
Russian olive
Common buckthorn
Plants Deer Commonly Damage
Fruit trees: Apple, crabapples, cherries, plums
Atlantic white cedar
What We Recommend
Given the scientific research and the experience of gardeners around the country, we recommend an integrated approach to protecting your plants from deer.
Deterrence starts with your garden plan. As much as possible select plants that deer typically do not damage. For example, plant Norway spruce instead of Atlantic white cedar; daffodils instead of tulips. If you do plant "deer-friendly" plants, keep them close to the house where deer are less likely to come.
Use contact repellents to protect vulnerable plants. Use area repellents to deter deer from sections of your garden. Experiment with different options and keep a record of what works and what does not work. Supplement your efforts with electronic devices for added control.
Consider a fence. Fences are expensive and may not fit in with every landscape, but they are often the only way to keep deer out.
Ask your neighbors and the local cooperative extension service for their suggestions about the best plants and effective deterrents for your location. Remember, when it comes to deer repellent there's no one-size-fits-all approach to protecting your plants from deer.

Methods: Twenty-six eyes of 26 patients with obstructive MGD were enrolled. Upper and lower MGLs were evaluated using noncontact meibography. Expressed meibum quality was assessed in 8 glands of the central third area of the upper and lower eyelids on a scale of 0 to 3 for each gland (total score range, 0–24). Tear film stability was evaluated based on tear break-up time (TBUT), and corneal staining was graded according to the National Eye Institute scale (range, 0–15). Results: The mean MGL in the lower eyelids (24.1% ± 10.8%) was significantly greater than that of the upper eyelids (11.2% ± 5.2%) (P < 0.001). The mean expressed meibum grade in the lower eyelids (16.5 ± 5.1) was also significantly larger than that of the upper eyelids (11.2 ± 5.2) (P < 0.001). MGL was significantly correlated with expressed meibum grade in both eyelids (r = 0.451, P = 0.021 in the upper eyelids; r = 0.626, P = 0.001 in the lower eyelids). The meibum grades of both the upper and lower eyelids were negatively correlated with TBUT and positively correlated with corneal staining score. However, the MGL in both the eyelids was not correlated with TBUT or with corneal staining score. Conclusions: In patients with obstructive MGD, MGL and meibum grade in the lower eyelids were significantly greater than those of the upper eyelids. Although MGL and meibum quality showed a positive correlation with each other, TBUT and corneal staining score were significantly correlated with only meibum grade, and not with MGL.

Researchers at Dartmouth College and Columbia University have found that believers in karma are less likely to focus on short-term happiness – which means they're much more easily satisfied when out shopping.
Overall, though, they have higher expectations in life, because they have a longer-term view of things.
The authors describe the doctrine of karma as having three main tenets. First, is the notion of rebirth where actions in a particular life may bear fruit either in the current life or in the next.
Second, actions can be broadly classified into appropriate – 'good' – or inappropriate – 'bad'. Finally, good actions in the present lead to good outcomes in the future.
"The doctrine of karma links current conduct to future consequences either in this life or the next," write the authors. "Thus, a belief in karma entails, among other things, a focus on long-run consequences."
"Individuals with a long-term orientation are likely to be less inclined to lower expectations in the hope of temporarily feeling better," write the authors.
The authors aren't particularly interested in the spiritual implications.
Instead, they write, it's an opportunity for companies to appeal to those people who, inexplicably, don't automatically rush to buy the latest gadget.
"Perhaps most importantly, the findings are also encouraging concerning the feasibility of explicitly measuring cultural factors and assessing their impact on consumer behavior," they add.

"A gal from Anchorage came down to Yakutat who was friends with some teachers here in town, and together they started the race," said Karen Elton, Parks and Recreaction coordinator for the City and Borough of Yakutat.
"Since then, we've usually had between 20 and 50 locals take part in the race each year, though it's open to anyone who wants to participate."
The race, which will begin at noon May 28, features a 10K run as well as walking and 'wheeling' divisions. The event starts in town and ends at the beach with prizes and a barbecue.
"The race is pretty unique in that it goes along our highway, which is really a two-lane paved road, and then goes off-road to Cannon Beach," Elton said. "It's really a picturesque run-Yakutat is a beautiful little place."
In addition to its one-of-a-kind beach, which attracts numerous Southeast surfers, Yakutat also is home to the St. Elias mountain range, the Malaspina and Hubbard Glaciers, and more than 100,000 shorebirds, including Trumpeter Swans, geese and ducks.
"Mount St. Elias is the second tallest mountain in Alaska at 18,008 feet," Elton said.
"On a clear day, you can also see Mt. Fairweather, as well as all of the other smaller mountains that circle around to end at St. Elias."
Kathy Jacobson and her twin sister, Suzie Silvernail, run in the Bay to Breakers event every year.
"I started in 1983, and each year, I look forward to it," Jacobson said.
"There's beautiful scenery going from the bay to the breakers, and it's also just a really friendly experience. There aren't big prizes for winning, but it's definitely a really satisfying feeling."
Jacobson and her sister also are using the Bay to Breakers race as a training ground for next month, when they are traveling to Nashville, Tenn. to participate in a half-marathon.
"At 6.2 miles, the Bay to Breakers race is great training for the 13.2 race we'll be running in Nashville," Jacobson said.
This year, runners in the race and the town of Yakutat are hoping that people from outside the borough decide to visit the town over Memorial Day and take part in the annual event.
"It would be really nice if people wanted to come stay a few days and enjoy some of the things that Yakutat has to offer," Elton said.
"For any runners who are interested in trails, we have 23 miles of Tongass National Forest Trails, as well as shorter trails in town."
For more information on Yakutat, visit www.yakutat.net. For more information on the race or to pre-register, send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (907) 784-3341. The entry fee is $10.

Movie stars project a larger than life image and actually live life king size. Will Smith is today perhaps the biggest star of Hollywood and everything associated is naturally big and grand. A video about his trailer has surfaced and it is fascinating to see the opulence and the grandeur of the mobile home. We had earlier seen the Airstream luxury trailer but this one is not an ordinary motor home but a modern marvel that has features and amenities that would be considered ultra luxurious even in high end homes. It is Will Smith's home away from home when he is working on a movie. It is part of his contract and is set up on a lot or on location. Aston Kutcher's trailer is also remarkable.
The Motor Home Features Full Kitchen and 30 Seat Conference Hall
The sleek motor home has been named 'The Heat' and has become part of the movie making process on all of Smith's films. The custom built motor home is a creation of Anderson Mobile Estates and is basically a combination of several trailers. It is the mansion of trailers and the ultimate in luxury motor homes. It is a double storied affair featuring a master bedroom, full kitchen, a screening room with a 100-inch screen, a conference room capable of accommodating 30-people at a time and several recreation rooms. The kitchen itself is worth more than $100,000 with its granite tops. Another technological marvel is the remote controlled makeup mirror with a TV behind it.
The 53 Feet Long 30 Ton Trailer Runs on 22 Wheels
The Heat is 53 feet long and weighs 30 tons. The motor home runs on 22 wheels and provides 1,150 square feet of living space when fully expanded. It features some fancy hydraulic pistons to create valuable space while keeping the motor home stable and steady. The bath in the trailer comes with a steam shower that can go opaque at the flick of a button. There is a private lounge that Smith uses to have his makeup and wardrobe done. The sleek motor home was built at a cost of $2.5 million. It is rumored that when Smith is not using his trailer it is rented out for a fee of $9,000 a week.

The Socialist Party nominated Brian Moore of Florida for president, and Stewart Alexander of California for vice-president, at the St. Louis convention. The final presidential vote was 25 for Moore and 20 for Eric Chester of Massachusetts. Inasmuch as Alexander is also a member of the Peace & Freedom Party, this may be the best opportunity the Socialist Party ticket has ever had to also win the Peace & Freedom nomination. The Socialist Party has tried many times in the past to have its presidential candidate also be nominated by the Peace & Freedom Party, but that goal has always eluded it.
Brian Moore's pre-nomination campaign website has been www.votebrianmoore.com. It has not yet been updated to show that he is the nominee.

Roger Goodell would have you believe he wants to clean up this town, rid the NFL of the felons and the scalawags, the gratuitous violence and the Culture of Cheating. And maybe, beneath that bureaucratic exterior, the heart of a reformer does beat. But it's clear, with every misstep he takes, that the commissioner doesn't have the faintest notion how to pull it off. In times of crisis he can seem overmatched, as if running on a treadmill that's set too fast. Kind of like George Jetson when he tried to take his dog Astro for a walk:
(Think of Astro as the NFL and the cat as Any Problem That Lands on Roger's Desk.)
Don't get me wrong. Running a sports league, especially one as gargantuan as the NFL, is a difficult and largely thankless task — except on payday. But it doesn't have to be quite as difficult as Goodell is making it. When, after careful consideration, you initially suspend Ray Rice for two games for punching out his future wife and then, a year later, suspend Tom Brady for twice as long because you suspect he masterminded a football-deflation scheme, you've basically told the world your moral compass is about as reliable as the air-pressure gauges used in the AFC title game.
And when the league announces that you'll be the one who hears Brady's appeal — rather than an independent arbitrator — you're basically admitting, "No other vertebrate with a sixth-grade education would ever agree with me."
The commissioner makes a big deal about "protecting The Shield" — as if the NFL's Park Avenue offices are Camelot, and he sits at the head of the Round Table:
But if that's truly his aim, the league shouldn't have handled Deflategate the way it did. Indeed, its behavior — and the three-month media circus that followed — was the exact opposite of "protecting The Shield."
Allow me to explain. According to the Wells Report, it wasn't until the day before the AFC championship game that the Colts raised the issue of the Patriots using underinflated footballs. This didn't give the NFL a ton of time to decide what to do, but it certainly gave it enough time. That the league, operating out of a hurry-up offense, Totally Screwed the Pooch showed how rudderless a ship it often is.
There were, in my mind, two ways the NFL could have gone.
1. It could have notified the Patriots about the Colts' concerns and told them, "We plan to monitor this closely." Then it could have dispatched additional personnel to Foxborough to see to it that no funny business occurred. The footballs for both teams could been kept under the control of a league representative — or a battalion of them — for the entire game. At the end of every quarter, if need be, the air pressure could have been rechecked.
2. The NFL could have taken all of the above precautions but not notified the Patriots beforehand. (Of course, on game day, it wouldn't have taken the Pats long to figure out what was going on.)
Unfortunately, the league ended up choosing Door No. 3: It (a.) kept the Patriots in the dark while (b.) taking virtually none of my suggested precautions. (And it worked out just splendidly for them, didn't it?)
What it comes down to, ultimately, is: What's your main objective? If it's to catch the Patriots red-handed, then obviously you don't notify them — and let things play out however they will. But if your main goal is to make sure the game is above suspicion, that the outcome doesn't have anything to do with the Pats having a "competitive advantage," then you do notify them — and wait until the offseason to look into the Ball-Pressure Issue (if one exists).
By not notifying the Patriots, then failing to make certain their footballs were properly inflated in the first half, the NFL, it could be argued, acted negligently. That's because, well, look at what happened. Despite a heads-up from the league, referee Walt Anderson lost track of the balls . . . and a nightmare scenario unfolded. You even had one of the air-pressure gauges used by the officials getting significantly higher readings than the other — which would make anyone wonder about their accuracy.
At any rate, this is the best Goodell and his Knights Templar could do on short notice, this sorry example of executive decision making?
Luckily for them, the Patriots blew out the Colts, 45-7. If the game had been close, as so many of the Pats' postseason games have been, you would have had fans saying, rightly or wrongly, that the deflated balls might have been the difference. That's the risk the NFL ran by not being more hands-on.
Here's the problem, though: By approving the penalties he did, including a $1 million fine for the Patriots and the stripping of their first- and fourth-round picks in 2016, Goodell is obviously trying to send the message that this is a major offense, that ball pressure matters. But the league's half-baked response to the Colts' accusation — and the referee's bungled carrying out of that response — send an entirely different message: that ball pressure doesn't matter much at all.
And it really doesn't. If it did, the NFL would never allow these shenanigans to go on, never leave it up to the honor system. It would be just as vigilant about the balls quarterbacks use as the ones kickers do.
You ask yourself: Are there any circumstances under which Goodell would have invalidated the outcome of the game? If the margin of victory had been a field goal instead of 38 points, and if the Patriots' balls had measured well below specs at halftime, would the commissioner have said, when it was over, "I'm disqualifying New England from the Super Bowl and sending the Colts to represent the AFC"?
If so, then the league's actions after being tipped off by the Colts — actions that were straight out of the Three Stooges playbook — border on malpractice.
And if not — I'm leaning in this direction — then what in the name of George Halas is all the fuss about?
(By the way, I'd be surprised if Jeffrey Kessler, Brady's legal muscle, hasn't also thought of this — and a bunch of other stuff. Strap yourselves in, folks. This ain't over yet.)

Short Term Condo Rentals: Enjoy Your Summer in the City
May 24, 2012
Tired of the tourist treatment when visiting your favourite cities? Then it's time you look into a short term condo rental for your next vacation. By opting to stay at a vacation rental instead of hotel room you can live like a local at your own piece of paradise.

Fantasy Football 2014: Deep Sleepers to Watch as Season ApproachesAugust 26, 2014
It doesn't take a fantasy football expert to know that drafting players like Peyton Manning and LeSean McCoy will lead to league titles.
However, picking the right sleepers or even deep sleepers (the players who are even more under the radar than the typical sleepers) could be the difference between a victory and defeat when those key players are on a bye.
With that in mind, let's take a look at some deep sleepers to keep an eye on in the late rounds of your draft.
Zach Ertz, TE, Philadelphia Eagles
When fantasy players think of the tight end position and the Philadelphia Eagles, Brent Celek probably comes to mind. However, Zach Ertz should not be overlooked.
The second-round pick out of Stanford played in all 17 games as a rookie in 2013 and totaled 469 yards and four touchdown catches. Most importantly, he became more productive as the season progressed and his playing time increased.
He tallied 68 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Arizona Cardinals and 57 receiving yards and a beautiful touchdown catch against the Minnesota Vikings in two separate December contests. Ertz also scored against the New Orleans Saints in the playoffs.
New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty was certainly impressed when his squad practiced with the Eagles in training camp, via Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com:
He's a good tight end, an athletic guy, stretches the field. Really, I think, understands how to get open against good defenses. That's always good work when you can go against good tight ends. They have a bunch of them. At the safety position we got some pretty good work going against them the past two days.
The late-season production from Ertz should have fantasy players anticipating more of the same this season. Ertz is clearly more comfortable in an NFL offense than he was at the start of his rookie season, and that uptempo Philadelphia attack means more plays every game.
It also means more yardage and plenty of fantasy points to go around. Some of those will certainly go Ertz's way, especially if he uses his athleticism to split the seam and beat linebackers over the middle.
Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB, Houston Texans
There is a certain value in being a starting quarterback in the NFL when it comes to fantasy. We can't all have Peyton Manning or Colin Kaepernick lining up under center every week, which is why Ryan Fitzpatrick is worth a look.
Fitzpatrick has Andre Johnson and DeAndre Hopkins on the outside. That combination of consistent production and game-breaking speed will make the quarterback's job a lot easier every week, which will lead to more fantasy points.
Houston also has Arian Foster at running back, which means teams will have to stuff the box to stop the running attack. That will open up Johnson and Hopkins for deep routes, and Fitzpatrick should be able to deliver.
As ESPN.com points out, Fitzpatrick was actually 12th in ESPN standard league scoring in 2011 and threw at least 23 touchdown passes in three consecutive seasons from 2010-12. He also has 11 games with three or more touchdown passes in the past four seasons, which is more than Joe Flacco, Jay Cutler or fantasy stalwart Cam Newton.
If nothing else, Fitzpatrick is a solid quarterback who can cover for you when your starting quarterback is on a bye week.
Carlos Hyde, RB, San Francisco 49ers
All Carlos Hyde did in his senior season at Ohio State was run for 1,521 yards and 15 touchdowns even though he missed three games. He was one of the most productive running backs in the country, but the San Francisco 49ers brought him to a team that was loaded at running back.
Since then, Kendall Hunter and LaMichael James both suffered injuries, and the door opened for Hyde in the race for the backup job. He certainly turned some heads during the preseason, including those of Yahoo Sports' Brad Evans, Ronnie Lott and Tony Bruno:
Frank Gore is still the starter for the 49ers, but he is 31 years old and will need someone to spell him throughout the season if he wants to be fresh come playoff time. That means Hyde should see plenty of carries.
Hyde is an absolute bowling ball at 6'0" and 235 pounds, but he has the speed to help him beat linebackers to the edge. He can run over people up the middle as well and should be comfortable in pistol sets next to Kaepernick because of his time in Urban Meyer's spread in college.
Hyde has the physical attributes needed to be a productive back in the NFL, a playoff-tested team around him and the potential for plenty of carries behind Gore. Look for him late in the draft.

CHARACTER COUNTS! program part of Summer Camp activities
Many youth are participating in the current CYS Services Summer
Camp program, with total youth in a recent week nearing the
100-person mark.
As part of the CHARACTER COUNTS! program, participants learn about
trustworthiness, respect, caring, fairness, citizenship and
responsibility through a weekly activity. For example, a recent
multi-cultural class stressed respect, caring, fairness and
Other youth were participating in a Boys & Girls Club (BGCA) of
America Triple Play Gamesroom Tournament that stressed respect and
fairness during the activity. Those pillars are then reinforced by
integrating them into all other activities.
Youth have choices between CYS Services, 4-H, and BCGA activities
daily. Activities available include Triple Play Sports Club, Healthy
Habits, Art Club, Science Club, Tech Club, Computer Lab, Smart
Moves, StartSmart Sports, Preschool Mentoring, Money Matters, and
much more.
The program also makes daily use of the installation's Morale,
Welfare and Recreation (MWR) facilities and programs. Some of the
MWR events or activities include bowling at McCoy's, swimming at the
Rumpel Fitness Center, and outdoor activities such as paintball,
laser tag, mini golf, paddle boating, swimming, and playing at the
park at Pine View Campground and Whitetail Ridge.
The Youth Center also offers a BGCA Torch Club, which fosters
positive self-esteem and personal growth, building communication skills,
reinforcing academic achievement and encouraging the development of
conscientious citizenship.
CYS Services youth also go on various field trips throughout the summer.
Yahnke said those in grades 6-12 help plan their field trips in July and
August as a way to introduce more responsibility and ownership into the
program for older youth.
For more information about the program, call Parent Central Services at
608-388-8956 or the School Age/Youth Center at 608-388-4373.

Genoa are ready to send Argentine striker Lucho Figueroa away on-loan this season.
Figueroa has shown good form in preseason training and is recovering well from last season's knee surgery.
Genoa chiefs are eager for the former Birmingham City striker to play with continuity to maintain his progress and are keen to send him to another Italian club for at least until January.
With the likes of Adailton, Marco Di Vaio, Giuseppe Sculli and Marco Borriello on the books, Figueroa is unlikely to make an immediate impact should he stay with Genoa this season.

I have a 2003 BMW 330i that is running rough at idle. When I drive, it feels like it is losing power. Sometimes the gears do not shift when supposed to. When at a stop light, the RPM's rev from 500-900? And it feels like the car is giving a little gas by itself. I replaced the spar kplugs, belts, fuel injection service, and fuel filter for over 800! I used all this money and the problem is not solved. I had the codes read and it came with about 7 codes. The mechanic said he would replace the back o2 sensors but I was under the impression that the back ones did not control how the car actually runs. Can anyone help?
have the same problem?

Many of you will have signed the petition calling for asylum for Tacko, Asuman, Andrew, and Proscovia -gay Ugandan and Senegalese asylum seekers and tireless leaders of the fight for equality and justice in Britain and around the world…
On June 1st Andrew was at last granted refugee status!
Andrew has been an outspoken advocate for all who are going through the demeaning immigration process. After twice being put through a full interview (in which an agent even sought to discredit his sexuality by going through his mobile phone and suggesting there were 'a lot' of female names) the Home Office withheld making any decision on his case for over a year. They kept his case in excruciating limbo, rather than grant the security of asylum – a security that not only strengthens Andrew to fight against racism and anti-immigrant scapegoating, but is a victory for all the people routing for Andrew to win – the Movement. It proves that if you fight, and you are part of building the movement you can win.
Pressure was kept up on the Home Office, through petitioning and publicising the joint petition – placing the demand on the British government to meaningfully deliver action on its pious words about how all countries should ensure the safety and protection of LGBT people and end the persecution.
We must now renew our efforts – starting with winning asylum for Tacko, Asuman and Proscovia – and build our movement to be strong enough to shape history in the interests of the oppressed.
At May's national Black Students Conference Tacko was elected as joint-LGBT rep on the NUS Black Students Committee. The conference gave its support to fighting for Tacko and all students struggling with immigration status stay in Britain. It is our action now that can win.
The Black Students Campaign was also behind calling a national students demonstration in the autumn term against the education cuts and fee hikes. It will be the first NUS-backed national student march since the siege of Millbank Tower in 2010, when 52,000 marched and inspired the birth of the first real resistance to the ConDem govt policies. Making it a day when together we Shut Down London will be our best way to bring down the government, and establish a real independent voice for the poor and oppressed, give optimism to millions and change history to the side of the oppressed.
Watch the speech given by Shanta Driver (Chairperson of By Any Means Necessary) to the National Union of Students Black Students Conference…

Dear Prof,
I wonder if the idiom " can make it" can be followed by the following:
In questions: Can you make it TO the party tomorrow? vs Can you make it FOR an interview this coming Wednesday?
Given the fact that both "party" and "interwiew" are events, shouldn´t they collocate with the same preposition or is it that in the first example "party" converys the concept of place meaning "to my/somebody´s house".

One of the defining characteristics of our generation is our connectedness – or at least a perception of connectededness. Thanks to sites such as Facebook or Twitter, we can simultaneously broadcast our thoughts and feelings to the masses and maintain more intimate or personal relationships at the click of a button.
These tools are doing more than simply connecting us, they're informing and empowering us as never before.
And, I'm afraid, they're creating a society that is leaving the church behind.
We don't need a church to give us mission or an opportunity to serve. We can send a text to The Red Cross and change the world.
We don't need a "community" of people that we see once or twice a week. We're connected to 1,000s of friends via Facebook or Twiiter, many of whom we dialog with more regularly than fellow churchmates.
We don't need weekly sermons. We can download podcasts from preachers all over the world and from years gone by and listen to them anytime we want.
We don't need potlucks. Fried chicken and Velveeta shells and cheese aren't that good for us.
So what do churches have that we do need? A couple of things come to mind, but I'm interested to hear what you think.

Michael Jackson's father, Joe, has dismissed reports the superstar was secretly buried in Los Angeles last week.
Reports over the weekend claimed the Jackson family held a private burial on Thursday and laid the singer to rest at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles' Hollywood Hills.
The news coincided with reports that Jackson's brain, which was removed as part of the investigation into his death, was returned to the family by coroners.
However, Joe Jackson insists the family has still yet to decide on a resting place for the "Thriller" icon, some seven weeks after his death in June, according to E! Online.
The family has been dogged by rumors of a disagreement over the King of Pop's remains, with his mother, Katherine, reportedly asking for her son to be interred at Forest Lawn and his brother Jermaine pushing for a burial at Jackson's Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif.

Avid Media Composer 7.0 advances titling with NewBlue Titler Pro
Video editors applaud Avid for including NewBlue Titler Pro in Media Composer 7.0.
San Diego, CA – November 13, 2013 – Editors purchasing or upgrading to Avid's Media Composer 7.0 are delighted to discover a full licensed copy of NewBlue Titler Pro 1.0 integrated in their NLE.
"NewBlue Titler Pro brings to Media Composer a much needed, easy to use yet extremely powerful Titler," said Dan Lebental, ACE (Iron Man, Cowboys and Aliens, Thor: The Dark World), "filling a void in the world's most powerful NLE"
Media Composer, used to edit more top-tier content than any other nonlinear editing (NLE) solution, consistently sets the industry bar with every release. However, its titling components have not kept the pace with the rest of Media Composer, with its unparalleled workflows, background processing, and automation.
"Our editorial advisory board suggested that we look at NewBlue's titling software," said Rob D'Amico, Sr. Product Manager at Avid. "We found that Titler Pro delivered a smooth, Avid-integrated work flow for fast, animated visuals that are simply stunning."
NewBlue Titler Pro integrates inside Media Composer to create beautiful titles with ease directly in the editing work flow. With its drag-and-drop animations, editors can apply rich visual effects with or without key framing. The immersive 3D environment provides quick point and click editing to type, edit, and move 2D and 3D text elements, and visually overlays the edit in process, for immediate results.
NewBlue's extensive library of effects & transitions can be applied directly to titles to stretch, paint, glow, and shake titles – giving them a truly unique look.
"We are delighted to enter into the relationship with Avid to include Titler Pro with Media Composer 7. Editors will appreciate the way it complements Avid's fast workflow and powerful features" added Todor Fay, CEO of NewBlue.
