STILLWATER, Okla. - Oliver Wilson had the round of his life Tuesday in the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championships. His Augusta State teammates also had unforgettable rounds, but for the opposite reason.
Wilson, the lone senior on the No. 2 Jaguars team, shot 2-under-par 70 at Karsten Creek Golf Club, a devilish course that surrendered just three under-par rounds to the 156 players in the first round.
The other four Augusta State golfers would like to wipe the round from their memories. Kalle Edberg had 77, James Heath 81, Emmett Turner 83 and Scott Jamieson 86.
Throwing out the high round, it added up to 23-over 311, or seven shots more than Augusta State shot for 54 holes when it won the Ping/GolfWeek Preview at Karsten Creek in November.
The 311 was one shot less than the season-high for Augusta State, but Wilson, Heath and Jamieson didn't play in that tournament, the Bank of Tennessee Intercollegiate.
"Thank God for Oliver," Augusta State coach Josh Gregory said. "Otherwise, we would have shot about 340."
With three more rounds to go, Augusta State is in 20th place in the 30-team event, 12 shots behind co-leaders Clemson, Oklahoma State, North Carolina State and Auburn, who shot 299s.
At least the Jaguars won't have to worry about making a cut. The cut, which took the top 15 teams after 36 holes, was discontinued after the 2001 tournament.
Augusta State did beat South Carolina (313) and Georgia (315). Georgia Tech had 310 to edge Augusta State by one.
Wilson has shot lower rounds - he had a 64 in the Cleveland Golf/Augusta State Invitational in April - but it wasn't on a course like Karsten Creek that is "incredible, it's so tough," Wilson said.
Wilson had three birdies and a bogey at the 7,290-yard course, where potential disasters lurk around every dogleg.
"It's the best I've ever had, by far - I'm not joking," Wilson said. "I'm ecstatic with that. I was just trying to hit the fairways and greens and get out of there with two putts. As soon as you get done with a hole, you'd count how many holes you've got left and try to hold on and get in."
Only one player in the field - Auburn's Lee Williams, who had 69 - beat Wilson. Chris Stroud of Lamar, who is playing as an individual, tied Wilson. The other under-par score, at 71, was shot by Matt Rosenfeld of Texas.
"Oliver's round might be the best round of golf I've ever seen," Gregory said. "To shoot 2-under. ... and he didn't make many putts. That's why he's one of the best players in the country. He can manage his game. He knows where he can miss it and where he can't. He thought his way really well around the course."
Some of Wilson's teammates could have used his course management skills.
"It was poor; we made too many double bogeys and triple bogeys," Gregory said. "This course will test you, to see who's got some patience and course management. We didn't have it today."
Augusta State managed its game well in the Ping Preview at Karsten Creek, but the course was tamer. Now, there is 4-inch-high rough, three new tee boxes and pin positions that "bordered on unfair out there," Gregory said.
"It was a lot different," Wilson said.
"Fortunately, it's hard for everybody else, too," Gregory said. "That's the frustrating part. Usually, my guys are at their best when the conditions are tough."
Wilson is aware that Minnesota was in 16th place after 36 holes of the 2002 NCAA Championships and came back to win.
"We'll talk about it and realize we're not out of it," Wilson said. "We're not where we want to be, but it's only the first day. Three more rounds around this place, you don't know what's going to happen."
LOCAL TIES: Eight golfers from the Augusta area are on various teams in the NCAA Championships. They are Augusta's Cortland Lowe of Wake Forest (74), Swainsboro's Will Claxton of Auburn (75), Aiken's Matt Hendrix of Clemson (76), Augusta's Adam Cranford of Georgia Tech (78), Aiken's Alex Hamilton of South Carolina (79), Augusta's Jay Mundy (81) of Auburn and Aiken's Kevin Kisner of Georgia (86).

A rumour that has been floating around for a while is that Obi-Wan Kenobi will be making a cameo in Star Wars Rebels. We originally saw at a toy event a hint at 'Rebels Obi-Wan' followed by talk that Obi-Wan would appear as a hologram and today we have first look.
In a French Star Wars Rebels Trailer, friend of the show Ulrich Decoster posted on Youtube a low quality version of the trailer and we see Ezra looking in awe at a hologram of Obi-Wan.
We will post a higher quality screenshot of Obi-Wan in Rebels when we can get our hands on it.
Our friends at Rebel Transmission have provided a translation of the voice over in the trailer.
Voiceover: " A legendary saga, a frightening empire…"
Agent Kallus: " Please, pardon this intrusion, great Inquisitor"
Voiceover " A new generation of heroes"
Obi Wan: " May the Force be with you"
Voiceover: " In October"
Ezra: " Who are you exactly ?"
Sabine: "We're a team, a family"
Voiceover: " Discover the Force"
Kanan: " Right now! "
Voiceover: " Fight the Empire"

Streaming is on the rise in the music world, and not just in terms of recorded music. The streaming of live events has grown in popularity over time, truly exploding in just the past few years as the industry accepts that like it or not, streaming is where everything is headed.
Major festivals like Austin City Limits, Coachella, and EDM mainstays like Ultra and Tomorrowland have all begun offering the bulk of their performances every year for free online to anyone wishing to see. Often times they will stream a show live and then continue to offer the recordings—sometimes chopped up into individual songs or separate sets to make the most out of their content—long after the show is over and the stages have all been taken down.
This trend begs the question "Why?" If a music festival, concert promoter, or artist makes good money from people paying to attend a show or special event, why give it away for free?
Eventbrite, one of the world's largest ticket sellers and a more indie-friendly competitor to Ticketmaster, did a study this past spring that uncovered some amazing insights about who attends music festivals and why—numbers and analysis they are only just announcing now.
According to their Harris Poll, completed earlier this summer, 69% of millennials say that seeing a live stream makes them more likely to go to the real-life event in the future. So, while a $300 (or more) price tag for a weekend of shows may scare people away at first, watching the festival in real-time (or afterwards) makes people want to get in on the action the next time it comes around.
This response proves what promoters have been saying for years—that live music isn't just about what you're hearing, like with recorded music, but about the entire experience. Anyone can go and listen to electronic dance artists like Skrillex or Sebastian Ingrosso whenever they want, but there's nothing like their live performances, filled with fire, lasers, and some of the largest and most expensive sets in the business.
Eventbrite's full report, which the company is planning on publishing soon, also details other insights concerning millennials and their thoughts and behaviors when it comes to music festivals. For example, the company's research also claims that nearly 1 in 5 (17%) millennials attended a music festival in the past year, and of those, many were the youngest of the group—those still in school. In fact, more young millennials (students) attended a music festival last year than those that were employed.

Why do conservatives hate America? OK: "Liberals." The New Republic is allegedly a progressive" magazine, but it sounds a lot like the National Review at times.
This is one of those times.
I don't know, but they do:
The Syria Solution: Obama Got Played by Putin and Assad
Julia Ioffe / The New Republic
This, apparently, is how diplomacy happens these days: Someone makes an off-hand remark at a press conference and triggers an international chain reaction that turns an already chaotic and complex situation completely on its head, and gives everyone a sense that, perhaps, this is the light at the end of the indecision tunnel …
You'll almost be happy to note that whoever this nobody is, she manages to be better than EVERYbody, GOPs and Democrats alike:
… even though the Obama administration has been insisting that it is not interested in "regime change," that disastrous cornerstone of the Bush era, it was, in fact, pursuing regime change, at least until Monday.
Such a lonely post to man (or woman). Ah, to exist in the light of such purity. (Even if it's from made up 'facts' like that last sentence quoted.)
Criticizing the Bush Administration does NOT burnish your "liberal" credentials. It merely marks you as non-delusional.
Republican Jesus
First, Kerry was just crazy, quoth Julia Ioffe:
What happened was Kerry went off message and, as has been his wont as Secretary of State, off the reservation, and violated the cardinal rule of official press conferences: He answered a hypothetical question in a hypothetical way. He blurted out a pie-in-the-sky, hyperbolic idea—getting rid of "every single bit" of the chemical weapons scattered across Syria "in the next week" —but everyone seized on it as a realistic proposal. It's not.
Queen of the Universe (self-anointed)
Ah, SHE knows what is realistic and what is not. How omniscient! FIVE reasons why this can't work:
First, how do you deal with a regime … Fifth, and most important, is the fact that Assad giving up his chemical weapons was only part of the stated objective. If you listened to the White House pitch closely, the point of the military strike was not just to stop Assad from using chemical weapons further on his citizens, and it was not just to warn other rogue leaders with their fingers on various triggers. Part of the goal was to force a political solution that would remove Assad from power. That is, even though the Obama administration has been insisting that it is not interested in "regime change," that disastrous cornerstone of the Bush era, it was, in fact, pursuing regime change, at least until Monday.
Well, she's certainly slain those evil straw men she's conjured. And no, in this case, forcing Assad out of power was NOT in the equation. Stopping the use of chemical weapons was. Some people cannot disconnect from linkages with unrelated actions. The whole "anti-war" debate of the past week bears testament to that. Ioffe seems one of these.
J. Jonah Jameson Action Figure — with desk-pounding action!
But first she's against any intervention, and then, when things look like they're working, assures us that they CAN'T possibly work (I am certain that, as an omniscient master of time, space and dimension, she knows all and sees all).
When you think about it, being so against/angry with a US president that you'd hope for continual use of chemical weapons against children is not the sign of a well-ordered mind.
Mass chemical slaughter at Jonestown.
Treason and derangement are the terms that spring to mind, although you might come up with better terms for it.
And, no matter what else, history is rife with morons who "knew" what could and couldn't work. Airplanes, and moon landings, for example. It's always a stupid policy to DECLARE what can and cannot happen.
Because the universe has a long history of making such people look like dinglegberries hanging from the Devil's anus.
Look! Our company is going into the dirt!
Won't that embarrass the President! Haw haw!
Much as I despise virtually everything about George W. Bush, I never rooted for the US to fail, just to make him look like a jerk. He did that latter thing just fine without any help from me. The fact that he did a lot to alleviate AIDS in Africa won't cause me to attempt to undermine it with poisonous sophistries.
Because I still love my country, even if it has self-anointed tin gods like the New Republic writer.
Any sane country would probably take her out into the woods, shoot her in the back of the head and bury her in a shallow grave.
Syria: massacre of children
However, I am not a citizen of any sane country. I am a citizen of the United States of America, which I love, for all its craziness — to paraphrase Will Rogers.
Too bad the pretentious and omniscient can't honestly say the same.
Judge her by her words, not by any political label she chooses to affix. Change the label to "National Review" and this piece could go on their blog without a single edit.
Or, to correct the title: Why do those who hate America invariably turn out to be "conservatives"?
Mr. Williams has a lively blog His Vorpal Sword. This is cross-posted from his blog.

While investigating a distant star system, the cryogenic, terraforming, colony starship Appleseed became infected by a computer worm. A planetary scouting team was caught outside on the unarmed, short-range pod, the Snow Day. The ship's infected robot killed everyone awake on the Appleseed and locked the team out. The pod's air supplies are almost gone…

Supplement: B.I.L Homicidal Robot – Game Chef Version

1) You can play the Open the Pod Bay Door rpg with the original rules or use the following revision for resolving actions. The revision is recommended. In the revision, you don't find out if your action worked until after it's completed. It adds tension, but eliminates the feeling of impending doom that comes with knowing that failure is certain at the end of the long wait. A minor change makes actions related to a character's job succeed faster.
If you try both versions, I'd like to hear your opinion about which works better for you and your friends. And why.
Resolving Actions
When a character wishes to do something, roll a d6 (six-sided die). The result determines the time taken. If the action relates to her job, it takes 1 (1-3), 2 (4-5), or 3 (6) turns.
If the character attempts something not related to her job, it takes 2 (1), 4 (2), 6(3), 8 (4), 10 (5) or 12 (6) turns.
At the end of the required turns, roll a d6 to determine success. If the action was related to her job, it succeeds on 1-4, otherwise it succeeds on 1-3.
Track the number of turns that pass on the Turn Tracking Workshop. The character cannot be brought into a new scene until the number of turns pass that were required for the action. If all characters are tied up at the end of a round, all actions fail and Something Desperate happens.
2) In the Game Chef version, death came easy and brutally. In the first playtest, all the characters died due to a piloting error in one turn. This rule change to Failure gives the characters better odds of surviving a disaster.
When an action fails, pick a player to tell us what has gone wrong. If there was potential of death, roll a die. On a roll of 4-6, the character dies. Tell us how. If others were also in danger because of the action, they also roll.
3) B.I.L is deadly and there wasn't enough time to counteract its actions, so that's been revised to address the problem.
Resolving Robot Actions
A reaction to stop harm succeeds on a 1-4. This turns any one character's action into a possible deadly failure. A complication succeeds on a 1-5, and will harm the crew or a member of the crew in 3 (1-2) or 4(3-5) turns or 5(6).

Manchester United assistant boss Carlos Queiroz has revealed how he tried to sign Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid when he was coach in 2003.
"He headed the list I gave Jorge Valdano, the sporting director. But fortunately - I say that now - he ended up joining United instead. And it happened through me because Sporting Lisbon, where I was once the manager, used me to ask United to inaugurate their stadium [the Alvalade had been rebuilt for the forthcoming European Championship] by playing a pre-season friendly.
"So I went to Alex and he was happy to do it. Sporting won 3-1, Cristiano had a fantastic game -and all doubts about him disappeared.
''Alex had to make a quick decision after Lisbon," smiled Queiroz. ''Otherwise Jorge and I would have got Cristiano."

Happy New Year All!
Cardpool. I discovered Cardpool after receiving a (very generous!) gift card to Pottery Barn. After I realized I could buy only a small bag of decorative rocks at PB with the gift card I'd been given, I looked into gift card exchanges and found cardpool.com where you can sell as well as buy gift cards at a discounted price. I quickly exchanged my $100 to Pottery Barn for an $80 Amazon card and bought a killer toaster for our new kitchen. They make money and I get something I can actually use. Score! My 4-slot toaster is way better than a box of rocks or seashells. :)
I always use this site when giving wedding or birthday gifts instead of choosing a card for the recipient so they can choose one of their own. I also go through them to buy restaurant gift cards so I can get more bang for my buck. The hubs and I just bought a $50 Cheesecake Factory card for $40.50. It's like getting $9.50 for free! (Confession: rather than just saving the money, I bought a slice of lemon raspberry cheesecake which was SO worth the calories!)
You can purchase regular gift cards they will mail to you, or can get e-gift cards which will be e-mailed to you within 1 day (usually within a few hours). Give yourself a little time on the e-gift cards though. I ran into a bit of trouble with this during Secret Santa week this year when I waited until midnight to purchase a Barnes & Noble gift card for my Secret Santa recipient. It didn't arrive until the next morning at 10 am and then I was stuck explaining Cardpool.com to my Secret Santa friend. Luckily she wanted the $20 from Cardpool rather than the $15 we were sworn to stick to. I technically only spent $15, but she got $20 because of my fancy online gymnastics. Sweet!
I'm starting off the New Year (Happy 2016!) by running a little gift card giveaway to Cardpool. Enter in the Rafflecopter below. The giveaway runs through January 4th - hopefully bringing a little New Year's happiness to a lucky teacher who goes back to work that day.

Good luck!

Wow was I surprised this morning when I get an email from my former assistant Mollie telling me about how Refinery 29 named Jeeves as the best dry cleaner in New York City. Didn't see this one coming, plus a great way to start this morning.
It's quite an honor and testament to the wonderful craftsmen of Jeeves to be named as the best in New York by one of the premiere fashion sites. Thank you Refinery 29.
I love how Refinery 29 described Jeeves, "…the perfect personal assistant to combat the trickiest stains…", who else but your man Jeeves. Here is the link to the full article.

Here are my comments on your draft Land Management Plan. First of all, I'd like to congratulate your agency for emphasizing outdoor recreation and fishery habitat protection as important considerations on the Seward Ranger District.
I was, however, disappointed to learn at the public meeting in Soldotna on Nov. 17 that the district ranger is not recommending a single acre of the Chugach National Forest portion of the Kenai River watershed for wilderness consideration.
Here are my specific comments:
1. Your plan states that hydroelectric projects will maintain or restore stream flows, lake levels and water temperatures or mitigate for habitat losses (page 2-9). The Cooper Lake hydro project has greatly reduced stream flows and water temperatures in Cooper Creek. As a result the creek is no longer used as a spawning area by salmon and rainbow trout. Water level fluctuations on Cooper Lake have most likely reduced the lake's production of bottom fauna.
This lake was recently found to contain two morphological forms of Arctic char. This species spawns in the fall in Cooper Lake. Their eggs incubate over the winter and hatch in the spring. Winter water level draw downs may have adversely affected populations of normal sized Arctic char in Cooper Lake in the past. The dwarf Arctic char in Cooper Lake may be unique. The dwarf Arctic char has not been reported elsewhere in Southcentral Alaska and may be a candidate for special species designation.
Cooper Lake and nearby Char Lake are the only lakes known to contain Arctic char in the Chugach National Forest.
Is your agency planning to require the power company to mitigate for the loss of trout and salmon spawning habitat in Cooper Creek and the reduction of bottom fauna productivity in Cooper Lake?
2. The Upper and Lower Russian lakes and the Russian River are exceptionally productive aquatic habitats. The west half of the watershed is already protected in a wilderness area on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge. In view of the importance of this watershed to the river's recreational fishery and as brown bear habitat, I would like to suggest that units K 233, K 234 and K 235 be considered for wilderness protection to prevent undesirable habitat alterations from incompatible uses. Your planning process appears to offer an excellent opportunity to provide permanent protection to both halves of the Russian River watershed.
3. The Chickaloon River watershed is the most productive small river draining the Kenai lowlands (Faurot and Dean, 1986. Chickaloon River Basin Fishery Survey, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 70 pages, unpublished). In 1984, the Chickaloon River provided spawning habitat for nearly 120,000 salmon. The headwaters of several Chickaloon River tributaries are located on the Chugach National Forest. Your plan has these headwater tributaries listed as "back country prescription." I would like to suggest that your agency consider giving these tributary streams greater protection from habitat degradation. The units of concern are K 320, K 321, K 322, K 323, K 324, K 325, K 326 and K 327.
Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to comment on your plan.

Team effort, sense of community
contribute to project's success
The Kenai Peninsula Borough's Project Impact Star Community Award given by the Federal Emergency Management Agency was a wonderful recognition for the work of many. Since Project Impact was started in the spring of 1998, literally hundreds of people from all around the borough have participated in committee meetings, special events, assembly reports and disaster mitigation training. Our extensive partnership (too extensive to list here) is one of the most elaborate of the nation's 250 Project Impact communities. It is community involvement and the support from our partners that elevated our project to a position of national recognition.
Helen Donahue, vice chair of the borough's Local Emergency Planning Committee; Doug Newbould, forester and fire safety officer for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge; and Jan Henry, coordinator of the borough's Office of Emergency Management, participated with me as representatives of the Kenai Peninsula Borough at the Project Impact Summit 2000 in Washington, D.C., last month.
I had the privilege of speaking for our group to the conference attendees. When asked to name the elements contributing to our success, the response was 1) a dynamic team effort, 2) a strong sense of community and 3) our willingness to share work, resources and accolades for a job well done.
The seeds planted by FEMA's Project Impact grant award will live on in these and other forms:
n Wildfire mitigation through the FireWise Community Action Program, a cooperative effort of the Alaska Division of Forestry, the U.S. Forest Service, community fire departments and the Spruce Bark Beetle Task Force.
n Earthquake mitigation through the cooperation of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District and the borough's Public Works Department retrofitting suspended lighting fixtures, computers and remedying common classroom safety hazards.
n General mitigation through ongoing public education and awareness programs of the Local Emergency Planning Committee and the Office of Emergency Management
Yes, the Project Impact office will close March 31; however, the spirit of natural disaster mitigation spawned by this project will live on through the many advocates of disaster planning and mitigation. A Project Impact report to the community will be published and circulated in the early spring. Thank you to each and every one for your contributions of time, money and effort making this project a success.

Ethic of people helping people
still alive on Kenai Peninsula
As a young girl, I lived on the Kenai. My roots are here. On my dad's side, my grandparents are Kenaitze, Emil and Maggie Dolchok. On my mom's side, my grandparents are Doris and Robert Walker.
I remembered this community as being one that works together and helps each other out. Even as a young girl I witnessed family members on both sides helping and being helped by neighbors and friends.
My husband and I have only been back in this area for a few months, but in that short time I have witnessed the sense of community that I remembered seeing as a girl. We are proud to say that we are part of the Kenai-Soldotna community.
Thank you also to the businesses who have generously donated to Head Start:
n Fred Meyer donated funds for fire extinguishers for families that did not have one in their home.
n The Kenai Fire Department donated smoke alarms for the Head Start families that did not have them.
n Safe-Kids donated car seats to parents who did not have them.
n Carrs Quality Center donated bags for Halloween costumes for the children, and allowed us to tour its facility.
n Kenai Community Library donated over 100 children's books, which we handed out to parents at a Family Fun Night.
n Kaladi Brothers Coffee donated a complete set of phonics books to our Family Fun Night. Thanks, Heidi Metteer.
n Many, many people donated to Head Start in memory of John Monfor.
n Dena'ina Health Clinic donated its dentist, who provided dental screenings for Head Start children at no cost to the parents.
Thank you to all you Kenai-tsian people who make this place what it is -- a community of caring, generous people.

Up until that moment, I'd missed all the signs.
Earlier in the evening a few friends and I had met up for happy hour at a popular downtown DC restaurant. Afterward, my friend Bill and I decided to grab a slice of pizza at the new Fuel Pizza that had opened up next door. Just after we settled in, the assistant manager approached a nearby table where a young man had apparently fallen asleep.
I suddenly realized that everyone else in the restaurant had some connection to the sleeping man. It was like a scene from a prairie dog den. Before the assistant manager walked over everyone was hunkered down staring at their laptops screens, but when he came over they all popped their heads up and many moved as if they might intervene in the discussion.
That's when I saw the signs.

I've been working on several things today. This is just one of the bracelets I've finished and I'm working on a cocktail shaker. Too Funny! This girl has a flamboyant hat as always and a checker board blouse that matches the lime green checker board bracelet I posted yesterday.
Over on Facebook, I had so many people talk about loving the lime green color that I thought I'd share the recipe with you. I know that I am not the first one to print this, but to tell you the truth, I have no idea where I discovered it. I do think pairing the two colors is something I did on my own years ago.
Lime Green Recipe
1 part Zinc Yellow
1/16 black
Yep, that's it! That's all there is to it, and the second color is Zinc Yellow straight out of the package. When placed next to the lime green it looks like a light lime green. Easy, breezy.
Go Green!

smokeless powder is not sensitive to friction and even if it was i think it would be fine to remove the lead

I would'ent use abullet as you don't get much powder,your best bet is a shotty shell lotsa powder in them.

Purchase depleted uranium slugs with the accompaning casing and powder from your local friendly Army Surplus Store. Remove the powder from one of those, and you'll be having fun in the near future. If you get hungry, no sweat. The uranium is a delicious, refreshing snack.

— Posted by OoxHighVoltagexoO on 1:39 pm on April 5, 2002
LOL Im not super educated in bomb making or chemicals BUT I have been making smaller CO2 bombs and things like that from powder in shotgun shells so I can actually answer this…With shotgun shells your best bet is to get a sharp knife and cut right above the metal …Now once in half on the side with the metal and the primer you should see a plastic piece of "wadding" or in some cases it is cardboard or cotton type stuff..shotgun shells hold more powder than regular rifle shells and cost less…Now just use pliers or a knife and pry out the "wad" and right below it is the gun powder..This NOT black powder…It works pretty well but its as simple as that…Never use anything to cut these open that would cause too much friction like a hack saw or electric saw and never use anything heated…To fill one CO2 cartridge it takes about 6 or 7 shells give or take a couple…Fill an empty CO2 cartridge half with gun powder and half with match heads..Insert a fuse and there ya go…Its simple but fun for beginners like myself…PEACE
— Posted by paladinpress on 3:16 pm on April 5, 2002
I have been using the powder in my "Experiments" for years and have never had one go off on me, but just dont fuck around open it away from you, If you want to be really safe place it in a vise plave something under the vise to cath anything and hack the tip off with a hacksaw and gently tap the side holding it over a PLASTIC bowl or better yet styrofoam and you should be safe
— Posted by unibonger on 1:39 am on April 6, 2002
i hunt, thought to buy ammunition u have to be 21. damn if i were there id buy it for u. now with shotgun shells just cut it in half. pull out the wad and get the powder. Though i like to use 30-30 or 30-06 rifle cartriges, more powder in them. Though they sell for i have no clue but shotty shell are about 4 bucks for 25. Being a shotgunner i know more than ull know about and shell. Shotshells come with different drams of powder. u can find out the weight by looking in a cookbook for measurements. Though since my friends dad was in the military we use .50 cal or even some anti-aircraft shells. them anti-aircraft shells fill up about 3-4 cratermakers. and hees got about 300-500 of each. BOO-YAAAAAH.

Endangered Fish Returned to Native Waters in Arizona
It's been a plan long in the making, but yesterday, the first Gila topminnow fish were reestablished in their native Arizona waters as part of a new program aimed at enlisting the help of non-federal landowners to conserve this endangered species.
A couple hundred fish were released into the TimBuckTwo pond near Amado, south of Tucson, on private land. The fish for this inaugural release came from Arizona State University (ASU), where breeding stock is maintained for the species. In addition to ASU, Desert Harbor Elementary School in Peoria also maintains a captive population of Gila topminnow.
"These fish were once common in southern Arizona below 5,200 feet, but populations declined due to habitat loss and competition from non-native species," says Jeff Sorensen, native fish and invertebrate program manager for the Arizona Game and Fish Department. "Today's stocking is particularly important because these fish are of the rare Redrock lineage that only existed in captivity until today. This release will help us increase the numbers of this important lineage."
While this is not the first reestablishment of Gila topminnow in Arizona, it is the first to occur as part of a new Safe Harbor Agreement. This program greatly increases the opportunities for private and non-federal landowners to participate in conservation and recovery efforts of endangered Gila topminnow, desert pupfish, Yaqui topminnow, and Quitobaquito pupfish by providing refuge sites. Most of the previous releases of Gila topminnow occurred on government or public-owned properties.
"We are pleased to add a third population of the Redrock lineage of Gila topminnow. It's even more pleasing to accomplish it with conservation-minded landowners using this important tool to recover native fish in Arizona," says Doug Duncan, a fish biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The reintroduction was carried out through a cooperative effort between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Game and Fish and the landowners.
"As professional biologists, we realize the importance of the Gila topminnow as part of the ecosystem and the state's wildlife resources. We are delighted to be able to participate, as private landowners, in the conservation efforts for this species and to do our part to ensure the continued presence of these fish in Arizona," say Kathy Groschupf and Frank Baucom, owners of TimBuckTwo.
Gila topminnows provide natural vector control, effectively preying on mosquito larvae and helping to control mosquito-borne illnesses. As a native species, they pose fewer threats to other species sharing the same habitat than non-native species that have been introduced in the past.
These fish grow to approximately 2 inches long and are the only native fish in Arizona to give birth to live young. They prefer shallow, slow-moving waters, and they were once the most common fish species in the Gila River basin.

Should Vikings attack, the world will immediately be split into two camps: those who have played this game, and those who have not. Which will have a greater chance of survival will come down to whether or not the Vikings choose to attack by chucking things at people, or whether they resort to the more traditional rape and pillage approach.
When Vikings Attack, you see, pitches the idea that Vikings will attack by, well, grouping together, scooping up random objects, and chucking them at the rest of us (non-Vikings). The only way to deal with such indecency is to act in kind, so you must form a party of the attacked and fight back...
This all plays out in what can only really be described as an arcade game. Controlling your main chap with the left stick, you run around various English locales (a screen at a time) and fight waves of Vikings. In a nutshell, you need to wipe out the enemy by biffing various objects at them, while at the same time avoiding objects that are being biffed at you.
Your health is rather cleverly defined by the number of survivors you've managed to gather up on your journey, and having more health means your group is larger, and more at risk of being hit by the projectiles being hiffed about the invading Vikings. Fortunately, survivors can offset this (rather balanced) mechanic in your favour by bringing powerups (like greater speed) into your arsenal, and by letting you pick up bulkier objects to hurl at the norse chappies in the horny hats.
In addition to the basic biff & dodge gameplay at the core, there are a few other things you can do to stave off (at least temporarily) the advancing difficulty. You can, for example, dart in the direction you're facing; good for avoiding attack, it also doubles as the method by which you can actually catch incoming projectiles. As it gets harder, being able to dodge and catch will be the difference between advancing any further and being utterly frustrated.
Another move, with which you can spin an object and thereby prevent it being caught by your opposition, is rather less successful. It works as advertised, however, the need to constantly (and quite quickly) tap the R button, which is rather difficult, limits your ability to leverage it with any real frequency.
The levels are nicely laid out and fairly well paced, although once it gets tough, you'll yearn for more frequent checkpoints. Still, the difficulty increase also forces you to improve the way you play, meaning that you'll actually leverage the various abilities and options on offer, rather than muddling through with just the basics.
Where the game comes into its own is in the multiplayer, a mode that is far more fleshed out than you might expect of a simple arcade game. Not only does it have several competitive modes, and a lobby you can actually muck around in while you wait, but it also sports co-op support for the entire story mode. Playing it in this way adds a whole new level of spice to proceedings, too, with players able to compete, interact, and even grief each other a little bit.
Despite the variety, though, it's all very much within a narrow band. Like many classic arcade games, you feel that you've experienced the bulk of what is on offer very quickly and even new levels, with the variety they bring, still feel familiar - even on your first run through. The best way to play it is in short bursts, spreading the fun out in 5-10 minute jaunts, rather than attempting to consume it all quickly. Played that way, it's a fun distraction to the end, rather than something that starts fun but becomes tiresome.
When Vikings Attack supports Cross Buy (buy it once, own it for both PS3 & Vita), Cross Play (play with and against people on the PS3) and Cross Save (continue your game on either version), making it one of the rare truly up to date games, in terms of interactivity features on the PlayStation.
The presentation is mostly fantastic, with character designs (particularly their voices) an utter delight. It's packed full of English humour, quirky characters, and laugh-out-loud moments, and the love that the developers have lavished on the game is plain for all to see.
Regardless of the questionable depth, and maybe slightly high price, you'd have to have a heart of stone to regret time spent with When Vikings Attack. It might be a bit repetitive, but it continues to be fun to biff cars and bombs about, all while listening to the humorous banter between your lot and everyone else. Recommended.

"Five hundred thousand spiritual stones…"
Even President Lin couldn't help being shocked by Nie Li's huge sum of money.
The business discussion had only just started… and Nie Li had already shelled out five hundred thousand spiritual stones!
To Nie Li, five hundred thousand spiritual stones was little more than a hair off nine oxen1. His Myriad Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting was producing even more as they spoke.
But to President Lin and the others, five hundred thousand spiritual stones was an enormous sum of wealth.
President Lin sized up Nie Li. Nie Li had dared to enter this Endless Wilderness alone, and had shelled out five hundred thousand spiritual stones as a deposit. It seemed that his background wasn't that simple.
It looked like he wasn't lying when he said he was here to recruit two hundred Sky Origin Divine Clan experts!

Ways to respond
When a child brings home a great report card, she deserves to be praised. If your child brings home a less-than-perfect report, it won't help to get visibly upset. Instead, talk to your child about the progress she's made this year. Whether it's As, Ds, or grades in between — find the best way to react to your child's individual situation.
Make time over the summer for learning
There are several ways kids can improve their skills during the summer so they can return to school with added confidence. You may still be able to enroll your child in a summer-school program. Investigate any remedial programs that exist at local colleges. Tutors are another option — you can obtain names of tutors from your school or classroom teachers. You can also call high schools and inquire about volunteer tutor programs. Two other options are to tutor your child yourself or enroll him in a learning center.
Check out our parent resources on testing and standardized tests.
Gifted programs
Do you think your child has special talents? Don't miss out! Now's the time to submit parent and teacher referrals for gifted-and-talented programs. An evaluation period may be underway in your school to determine eligibility for programs in the fall.
Requesting a teacher
Right now, schools are deciding where to place teachers. If you want to request a certain teacher next year, speak with your child's current classroom teacher as soon as possible.
Most teachers will ask that you put your preferences in writing and submit them to the principal. Depending on the school, these requests may be honored if at all possible. The name of next year's teacher will typically appear on your child's final report card.
Separating kids
This is also the time to share with your child's current teacher any concerns you may have about separating your child from another student. For example, you might request to have your child placed in a different class from a friend she's too dependent on. Don't hesitate to convey any concerns that you think will contribute to your child's success.
To stay or not to stay?
There's great controversy in the education and mental-health communities over retention, and research doesn't tend to support the practice. If your child is experiencing great academic difficulty, it may be due to an undiagnosed learning disability. Before deciding whether or not to retain your child, request a professional evaluation to rule out a learning disability.
Looking for more information? Learn more about retention vs. advancement and get advice from education experts.
Moving to a new building
Well-designed school orientation programs begin early in the spring or even during the winter. They usually consist of a campus tour and a visit with current students.
If you're concerned about the move, attend the parent-orientation programs to learn about curriculum, school rules, schedules, homework policies, and developmental changes. If "information overload" sets in, call your school counselor or one of the teachers for a one-on-one session.
Also, there will probably be a "Back-to-School Night" early in the fall that repeats this information when your child is actually experiencing the change. By then, the details will seem more relevant.
Same building, different grade
Many schools don't plan orientation programs for kids staying in the same building. If you think your child needs a little help with the transition, make sure to schedule time in late summer — before classes start — to visit the school and meet the new teacher.
New town, new building
To help ease your child into a new school situation, it's wise to call ahead in the spring and find out what orientation programs exist. A school or peer counselor will probably be available in the fall to conduct tours. The school secretary has information about procedures for lunch, dismissal, and absences. If you're living in close proximity to the new school, you can arrange a time this spring for your child to sit in on a few classes and get familiar with the surroundings.

The band does have a bit of a connection to the "undead" though; a video for the original version of "Never Look Back" (a different version is found on Invisible Tonight) features rampaging zombies and, nearly 7-million views later, is the reason why the Nearly Deads fan base is called Zombie Nation.
The Nearly Deads are fronted by singer Theresa "TJ" Jeane, a vocalist who stylistically has a lot in common with classic rock hit maker Pat Benatar, an attribute especially noticeable on soaring rocker "Brave," "Invisible Tonight" and break-up song "I Said," the album's first single.
"I Said," where TJ lays down the law to a soon-to-be ex with lyrics like "I said we're over! I can do this by myself!" is typical of the empowerment on display as Jeane plays a confidently strong but not overbearing woman throughout while the band, similarly, rocks out melodically but forcefully.
Ironically the (originally) zombie-infused "Never Look Back" is about the only moment where TJ sounds vulnerable; the song is recut here as "Never Look Back (Reanimated)," a piano-and-strings version of the tune that showcases the strength, beauty and emotiveness of her voice.
With Invisible Tonight likely to soundtrack much of the upcoming season it's probably a good idea to go ahead and join Zombie Nation now before they have to come looking for you. Invisible Tonight drops on June 24.

VIDEO Afghan Woman "Najiba" Executed for Adultery By Her Taliban Husband Juma Khan, "Najiba" Was Tried, Sentenced and Executed in 60 Minutes.
Monday July 9th, 2012
He approaches to within a couple of metres of the woman, says "Allahu akhbar" (God is greater), aims and fires twice, missing each time. The third shot hits her in the back, she flings her arms wide and collapses. He then fires another six shots into her body as the crowd cheers wildly, shouting "Long live Islam", "Long live mujahideen (holy warriors)". The gunman then fires four more shots into her body. The Afghanistan Human Rights Commission also expressed outrage. Its executive director Mohammad Musa Mahmodi said: "We condemn any killings done without proper trial. It is un-Islamic and against any human rights values."
Hague shocked and disgusted..British Foreign Secretary William Hague said on Sunday he was "shocked and disgusted" by reports that the Taliban had executed the woman. The British government condemned the "deplorable" action and called upon Afghanistan's rulers to bring the perpetrators to justice. "I am shocked and disgusted by [the] reports," Mr Hague said. "Such deplorable actions underline the vital need for better protection of the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan." He explained that the British government was working with its Afghan counterparts, NGOs and international partners to improve the status of women in Afghanistan.
Clinton makes plea for women…The killing came as US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a powerful plea on Sunday for the rights of women in Afghanistan, using a global forum to insist that they must be part of the country's future growth. Mrs Clinton, who was addressing a world conference in Tokyo on Afghanistan's future, said: "The United States believes strongly that no nation can achieve peace, stability and economic growth if half the population is not empowered." She said the way forward "must include fighting corruption, improving governance, strengthening the rule of law [and providing] access to economic opportunity for all Afghans, especially for women". "All citizens need to have the chance to benefit from and contribute to Afghanistan's progress. The United States will continue to stand strongly by the women of Afghanistan," she added.

Robert Peston warns that RBS would seem to need to raise a few billions of additional capital
BBC Business Editor, Robert Peston , the one who was one of the first to highlight the then developing Lehman's collapse and Northern Rock failures, as well as RBS virtual nationalisation, suggests RBS, one of UKs largest banks and supported by UK tax payers, could need substantial amounts of cash:
"That a Europe-wide capital-raising exercise could be painful for the Germans. And if ministers want to do what investors and creditors apparently want them to do, which is to force a serious recapitalisation of big French banks, the minimum capital threshold would have to be set high, at 8%.
Given that these measures to strengthen banks will almost certainly apply to all EU banks, not just eurozone banks, what impact would they have on British banks.
If the minimum stressed capital ratio were set at 8%, Royal Bank of Scotland, Barclays and Lloyds would all be forced to raise new capital.
Among the British banks Royal Bank of Scotland is most vulnerable to being forced to raise new capital, because under July's health checks its stressed capital ratio emerged relatively low at 6.3% (compared with 7.3% for Barclays, 7.7% for Lloyds and 8.5% for HSBC).
So if the new minimum capital bar were set at 7% (and we have no idea where it will ultimately be set) RBS would seem to need to raise a few billions of additional capital."

Architectural distortion by itself is not a diagnosis of

By the time I got into the shower the veins from the center of my chest were turning purple and were very pronouced. At this time I also noticed that I have developed a lump. I went to the emergency room and they said they had never seen anything like it. They gave me antibiotics and told me to see my OB.

such as you describe are rarely associated with other types of

If you are terribly concerned you might consider seeing a Breast Specialist for an opinion or talking with your Primary Care Physician or GYN and request some testing or at the very least a clinical exam. I am usually against too much "searching" on the internet unless you are just looking for the meaning of some of the many medical terms.

I don't see anywhere in your post that you have been diagnosed with breast
so this is pretty much out of our realm of expertise here as we deal strictly with
issues. This seems to be an issue for Internal Medicine or possibly Cancer in General/ Oncology. I can answer your last question : 1. nodule -- a fairly hard more or less round abnormal structure. 2. node -- similar to the nodule except that it is not an abnormal finding. 3.

After her mammogram, she got up to use the restroom, and heard the techician ask the radiologist if he thought it could be inflammatory

Is the sharp pain in the left breast near the top portion of the breast and closer to the actual chest portion of the

The reason for

pain is sometimes associated with hormonal variations and is then called cyclical breast pain. Noncyclical breast pain does not seem to be linked to hormonal variations and is often localized to one area of the breast tissue. Noncyclical breast pain may or may not be the result of an injury to the breast.

I don't have any swelling but my

My doctor is puzzled as to why the biopsy indicates mastitis but my blood work (WBC) was completely normal. He thinks there's something going on and wants to refer me on. Can IBC come on suddenly like that and shouldn't the biopsy have caught it?

Hospitality 101 Series
Contributed by Thomas Black on Feb 2, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: Abraham's encounter with three strangers can teach us much about hospitality as a church.
A mother invited some people to dinner. At the table, she turned to her six-year-old daughter and said, "Would you like to say the blessing?" "I wouldn't know what to say," the girl replied. "Just say what you hear Mommy say," the mother answered. The little girl bowed her head and with sincerity in her voice said, "Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
Genesis chapter 18 introduces us to a familiar story, that of God's Judgment on Sodom and Gomorra, but there is quite a bit to learn before we get there. At a time when our fellowship is growing it can only be God's timing that brings us to this passage tonight to look at and hopefully learn from the Hospitality of Abraham.
Hebrews 13:2 tells us "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it." Every Bible scholar faithful to the text sees this as a direct link back to Genesis 18. < Read Gen. 18:1-8 >
The eastern cultures still value hospitality as a primary virtue; and Abraham opened his home and set his table for three complete strangers because that was the right thing to do. I think, from Abraham's actions though, we can learn what we at Fame Church need to do when visitors come to church.
Looking at this text, I see Abraham doing SIX things that we can do to show hospitality in church.
Hospitality involves far more than a hello and a handshake, but it certainly does start there. Abraham set his guests above himself when he "Bowed himself to the earth" and urged them to remain. When he greeted his visitors, he made himself their servant. The very thing that Jesus wanted his followers to become is a servant to all others.
In making our guests here at Fame welcome, it takes more than simply welcoming them into the building and walking away, but extends to taking the servants attitude. To greet them, and to invite them in. To show them around and instructing them where the classrooms are for themselves or for their kids.
Not only did Abraham make his guests feel welcome...
2. HE REFRESHED THEM by washing their feet.
When Jesus washed his disciples' feet John marked this as the full display of his love (John 13:1)! And he commanded the same of us. Now I know that some churches do this as a third ordinance together with Communion and Baptism; without getting into the discussion - I'm not against such a practice, but I'm not for it either; as long as the practice remains within the bounds of the church. I happen to believe when Jesus commanded us to wash one another's feet, he had more in mind than basins and towels. He was concerned with servant hood and humility.
In our society if you asked church visitors to remove their shoes they would remove them without taking them off.... They'd remove them from the floor, and the foyer and the sidewalk, and they'd never bring them back!

Fare gates have been in the works at SkyTrain stations for almost 10 years, and in that time, the project's budget and deadlines have both proven as flexible as their rationale.
On March 1, TransLink seemed to signal the final step in integrating the fare gates into the regional transit network by announcing all gates at all stations would be closed by April 8, instead of leaving one gate open.
However, On March 2, Peter Fassbender, the minister responsible for TransLink, seemed to nix that commitment, saying one would remain open until accessibility issues for the disabled were resolved.
Here is a timeline of developments in the project that show how the beleaguered fare gate and Compass Card systems have developed over the years.
- TransLink can't close gates until access issues addressed says minister
- TransLink closing all SkyTrain and SeaBus fare gates April 8
- FareSaver paper tickets no longer for sale ahead of Compass faregate closure

So are DUers. They're having an orgasm over each new shooting. Strangely, though, they aren't interested in black on black shootings,,,only the shootings done by whites.
CORRECTION: The report of killings will continue with MSM references to assault weapons, whether real or fictional, until Obama gets shown the error of his ways by the People.

Christmas Season and Memory
Perhaps I should start with an apology because I know I said I would try to post something everyday. Indeed, I have thought of posting these past few days but have been unable. I am not a big crier, but I have been crying a lot. It is a double edged sword that I was so close to my grandparents. It means that I turn on the news and hear teachers in a certain district in Georgia are forbidden from wishing their students a Merry Christmas and I hear an exasperated expression, a ticking sound made with the tongue, then my grandma saying "Oh for God's sake." I can nearly laugh but I don't. If I could still pick up the phone and talk to her about how P.C. our world has become we'd be laughing.
This morning on "The Today Show" they featured a family that had their whole house and yard decked out in Christmas lights. My grandparents had nothing so extravagant and the decorating was courtesy of my uncle stringing the lights across the roof line and their front row of bushes, but the effect was welcoming and warm. as I'd drive up, especially after dark, knowing my uncle had wanted to do this for them in their later years to make the holiday special, knowing they'd turned on the lights for me, for the same reason.
The double edge is that although I have these memories and knew my grandparents so well they nearly speak from some place inside, they are not waiting for me. They do no wait for me to pick up the phone. They do not wait for me to accelerate down the long hill, even with foot on the brake, before turning up their drive to the little ranch with the large American flag in the yard and the Christmas lights glowing like gum drops. Often I could see their shadows through the blinds of the kitchen, sitting at the table, tv on, waiting near the door. For me.

"The decisions teen girls make today,
lay the foundation for their futures tomorrow."
~ Keisha Howard Gaddis, The Leading Teen Girl Expert
What you don't know…
could be hurting your daughter.
- What if you could go to sleep at night and not worry about what your daughter is doing on social media, the friends that she is choosing, or the decisions that she is making?
- How would it feel if you were able to have heartfelt communication with her?
- Imagine your daughter truly loving herself, knowing her strengths, taking steps towards her goals, and being genuinely joyful as she journeys to live her best life…
Being a young woman in today's generation is tough.
But, being a parent of a young woman is even tougher.
How can you be sure your daughter is okay, when every time you try to talk to her you get a slammed door, rolling eyes, or she just shuts down and says, "You don't understand"?
Put yourself in your daughter's shoes for a moment; remember what it was like to be a pre-teen or teenage girl? On the inside you were struggling with uncertainty, identity, blasting hormones, and wavering self-confidence. The last person you wanted to talk to was your mom! Right?
While being a girl has never been easy; let me tell you this:
Your daughter is dealing with so much more than you did.
Why is that?
Well, beyond the media's constant pressure to be thin, the social acceptance of "hooking up", the frequent friendship roller coasters, and the popularity of bullying…
The internet never stops!
It's the new playground for bullies and sex. Instead of meeting at the bike racks, now bullies are there every time your daughter opens her laptop or turns on her phone (that's if she ever turns it off), and sexual messages are scattered throughout every website and social media platform that she visits. Everyday!
All of these cultural pressures can affect her self-esteem, self-worth, and her decision making.
As her mom, you feel responsible; you find yourself worrying about her as you lay in bed wondering:
"Is she okay?"
"What is she really doing when I'm not around?"
"Why doesn't she seem like that happy little girl she used to be?"
"I think there is something going on, but I just can't put my finger on it."
And that's why I'm here – I've got your back!
Life Coaching is a proactive, preventative approach to equipping your daughter with the most important life-skills that she needs now, rather than trying to "fix" something later.
Let's work together to build her up now, so that she doesn't slip through the cracks.
Dear Girls
Dear Moms
Dear Schools, Churches & Conferences
Prevention & Support from a Teen Girl Expert, Coach, & Mentor is Essential
I strongly believe that Every Champion Has a Coach. For example, those who excel in basketball, track & field, and cheerleading have a Coach guiding them along the way, cheering them on, offering support and strategies so that they can achieve their goals.
But, life is not a sport. Life is a beautiful gift that comes with ups and downs, challenges, and triumphs. Every girl deserves to be the champion of her own life, and she deserves a Coach & Mentor who she can trust and confide in, someone who can help her define who she is and what she really wants for her life, and someone who can help her overcome life's challenges. I also believe every mom deserves peace of mind, knowing that she can have faith that her daughter is making healthy choices, pursuing her goals, and knowing that she is on the path to living her very best life.
I'm your accountability partner, encourager, and motivator who provides education on the hot topics affecting teen girls today.
You can learn more about the benefits of working with me here. I provide transformational Life Coaching & Mentorship services – for girls ages 11-22 and their Mothers, and I also LOVE speaking at schools, churches, colleges, and conferences on topics related to educating & empowering today's generation of girls.
You are not alone, let's empower her & build your relationship together.
NOW is the perfect time to build the relationship that will empower you both, FOREVER!
I know that beneath all the turbulence and uncertainty that the teen years bring, our girls are rocking, and I have a gift for helping them to shine. Let's give them tools and strategies that lift them up now, so they can become the extraordinary leaders they are destined to be.
"My daughter recently enjoyed a successful year of coaching with Keisha. We both enjoyed Keisha's upbeat, enthusiastic and compassionate personality – she has a true knack for connecting with tweens and teens. I would often hear my daughter giggling during their weekly one-on-one Skype sessions. Keisha's focus on the positive and mentoring approach helped my daughter step outside of her comfort zone and reach out to others. With Keisha's help, we are now more successfully navigating the turbulent waters of the middle school years."
– Stefanie T.

A young boy has been left 'traumatised' after a rottweiler dog attacked him outside his home.
Ethan Scullion was playing with a ball in Linden Way, Boston, when the dog ran over the road and bit his hand.
"I was really scared so I went to run away but it chased me and bit me," said the nine-year-old.
Parents Nathan and Ella Scullion were inside when they heard their son sreaming.
"We ran out, and the neighbours had called the dog back over and bundled it into a car and disappeared," said Mr Scullion. "I think Ethan was traumatised by it all.
"They knew it had bitten him but they never came over to check if he was alright or to apologise."
The family say the dog was regularly allowed to run freely around the area and they along with their neighbours, many of whom are elderly, had been growing increasingly concerned about it.
"It has been running around doing its business in our gardens and it's a big intimidating dog," said Mr Scullion. "I had previously spoken to them about keeping it on a lead and had phoned the police about the dog before this happened."
Mrs Scullion said: "It's not very nice to not feel safe in your own property," adding that Ethan has been left nervous and suffering nightmares following the attack.
The incident took place on at about 6.45pm on Friday, June 27, and saw the child treated at Pilgrim Hospital A&E for minor cuts to his hand and bruising to his leg.
Mr Scullion said the dog's owners were in the process of moving out, and after returning from A&E, he found they had left.
He added: "We have got two cats, as have neighbours, and if this dog had gotten hold of one of them that would have been it.
"I don't blame the dog - it's the owners who are just not taking responsibility for it.
"If you are going to have a dog like that you should keep them under control.
He added: "Ethan was lucky to get off with a relatively minor injury - it could have been a lot worse."
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police told The Standard: "We have received a complaint about this and are investigating."

We're not so sure about spy reports that suggest a possible hardtop convertible design, which would drive the affordable roadster's price upward. A development mule caught testing at Germany's Nürburgring showed a lot of sheetmetal on its front end from the RX-8 four-seater. What we are sure about is this: The next Miata really will be all-new, starting with a platform scaled down from the RX-8. Insiders swear the chassis upgrade won't elevate the Miata's curb weight, but if it does, Mazda's corporate 160-hp, 2.3-liter four (replacing the current 142-hp, 1.8-liter engine) should be more than enough to cope with it.
