Family Dog Killed by Wildlife Trap

THANKS for the link to the trap release page! This blog is in my Google Reader, so I am already a fan, which is why I am the first to post ;-)
For the record EVERYONE has permission from me to copy the illustrations and text from this page >> http://www.terrierman.com/traprelease.htm as the goal here is to KEEP DOGS AND CATS ALIVE.
Trapping season is full on, or about to start, over much of the U.S.
A small bit of history: Conibear traps were first designed by Frank Conibear in the 1950s in Canada, and were the first substantive improvement in traps since the leghold trap was invented in 1823.
The development of this type of trap was paid for by an animal rights group, and the trap was designed to kill very fast. This sure-kill trap design was subsequently approved by the International Humane Society.
Ironically, because this type of trap kills almost instantly, and is very difficulty to release even if you are standing right there when it fires off, this trap is a very serious threat to cats and dogs which might otherwise be unharmed if entangled in a modern leghold trap or a snare.
In my opinion, a Conibear should only be used in a water set on muskrat (#110 Conibear) or beaver (#330 Conibear) or in a tree set (above ground) for coon.

A few years ago I was walking my dogs (on leash) in a private campground. I asked permission ahead of time. One of my dogs stepped in a leg hold trap that was set at the base of a tree not 2 feet off the path! Luckily there was no permanent damage but I was horrified!
What if a child had stepped into it! I can just imagine the lawsuit!
These traps should be illegal. I can't imagine a more horrific way to die.

After checking out the conibear diagram at terrierman.com, I realized this trap design was way worse than I could ever have imagined. I now understand how McCurtains' Maggie died. I am now printing out the diagram and carrying it along with 2 shoelaces in my outdoor "walkies" pack.

OLDSMAR, FL. – Saturday's Skyway Festival Day card kicks off the 3-year-old stakes program at Tampa Bay Downs, with a pair of $100,000 stakes races featuring horses with the potential to move on to graded company.
The 14
running of the $100,000 Pasco Stakes, which will be the 10
race on an 11-race card, has attracted a field of 10 horses, including two supplementary nominations.
In the 29
renewal of the $100,000 Gasparilla Stakes – the eighth race on the card – 11 3-year-old fillies will face the starter. Both the Pasco and the Gasparilla will be contested at a distance of seven furlongs.
Post time for Saturday's first race is 12:25 p.m.
"I'm very happy with both fields," said Tampa Bay Downs stakes coordinator Gerry Stanislawzyk. "I think both races will be very competitive, and it promises to be a great card altogether with a lot of big fields."
Likely favorites in the Pasco include John C. Oxley's Grade I-placed stakes winner Dynamic Sky, who competed in the Grey Goose Breeders' Cup Juvenile at Santa Anita in November, and Goodwood Racing II's Purple Egg, a supplementary entry whose 3-for-3 record includes a victory in the Dec. 1 Inaugural Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs in stakes-record time of 1:09.93 for six furlongs.
Top candidates for Gasparilla glory include multiple-stakes winner Martha's Moon, owned by Fox Hill Farms, Inc., and Vitameta, an Arindel Farm-owned sophomore who was second by a half-length in the Sandpiper Stakes on Dec. 1 at Tampa Bay Downs.
Skyway Festival Day, while highly significant in its own right, is a prelude to two of the biggest days on the national 3-year-old Thoroughbred stakes calendar.
Festival Preview Day on Feb. 2 at Tampa Bay Downs includes the Grade III, $250,000 Sam F. Davis Stakes and the Grade III, $150,000 Florida Oaks on the turf, both for 3-year-olds. The Feb. 2 card will also include the Grade III, $150,000 Endeavour Stakes for older fillies and mares on the turf, marking it as the first time in track history three graded stakes will be run the same day.
Festival Day, March 9, includes the Grade II, $350,000 Tampa Bay Derby and the $100,000 Suncoast Stakes for sophomore fillies. Also on tap March 9 is the Grade III, $150,000 Hillsborough Stakes for older distaffers on the turf.
Jamie Ness, who leads the 2012-13 meet standings with 14 victories from 38 starters, has been named Zerillo's Trainer of the Month. Ness, whose horses have posted 27 in-the-money finishes, is also off to an excellent start at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale, with five victories and nine in-the-money efforts from 14 starts.
North America's leading trainer in 2012, with 396 victories, Ness has a soft spot in his heart for the veteran campaigners in his stable – horses such as 10-year-old gelding Stumbling Block and 8-year-old gelding Dazzlin Dr Cologne, both of whom won their first starts this season after extended layoffs.
Seeking his seventh consecutive Tampa Bay Downs training title, Ness knows that with proper care and handling, he can expect such runners to perform honestly every time out.
"I'm kind of partial to those older horses that have back class and have been around the block," said Ness, who trains exclusively for Chicago-area businessman Rich Papiese's Midwest Thoroughbreds, Inc. "They're war horses that give you everything they've got. We've had Stumbling Block six years, and the only thing he wants is to be a racehorse."
Stumbling Block has won 21 of 76 career starts, with 13 seconds, 11 thirds and earnings of $382,654. So enamored was the Midwest team with the Illinois-bred that after he was claimed for $16,000 at Oaklawn Park two years ago, Midwest claimed him back for $5,000 at Hawthorne in October of 2011.
Stumbling Block has since won six of 13 starts, including a four-race winning streak during the 2011-12 Tampa Bay Downs meet.
Stumbling Block was off six months before winning here Dec. 28, and Dazzlin Dr Cologne's Dec. 26 victory was preceded by a layoff of more than eight months. Both horses were turned out at Papiese's Thunder Ranch in Anthony, Fla., a 137-acre facility devoted to the care and rejuvenation of the outfit's horses.
"Being able to stop on our horses and send them to the farm for freshening is one of the advantages I have," said Ness.
"A lot of older horses are good for so many starts a year, then they start tailing off. That's when it's time for a break. In that regard, they're like professional football or basketball players – those guys couldn't play year-round and expect to stay at the same level. As they get older, they need down time, and we're able to incorporate that in our program."
Ness continues to show his acumen in the claiming end of the sport. On Dec. 7, he claimed then-5-year-old gelding Backwater Blues from an allowance/optional claiming, six-furlong race for $16,000.
The lightly-raced, Kentucky-bred son of Dixieland Band won that day by four-and-a-half lengths in a snazzy 1:10.45. In his next start Jan. 4, under the Midwest Thoroughbreds colors, Backwater Blues won an allowance/$32,000 optional claiming event for non-winners of two races/other than by two-and-a-quarter lengths in an excellent 1:17.22 for six-and-a-half furlongs.
Backwater Blues is another "back-class" type favored by Ness, having run second in the Mountain Valley Stakes as a 3-year-old at Oaklawn.
"Another advantage I have is being stabled at a lot of different tracks, because I had watched (Backwater Blues) race at Delaware during the summer and knew what kind of competition he had been running against," said Ness, who manages more than 100 horses in training at six different tracks. That definitely helps."
On the flip side of that coin, Ness entered 7-year-old gelding See I A in a $5,000 claiming race Jan. 6. The winner of the 2011 Pelican Stakes at Tampa Bay Downs won by six-and-a-quarter lengths as the 9-10 favorite and was claimed by trainer Barbara McBride for new owner Neal Allread.
In horse racing, as in virtually any athletic endeavor, sport and business often overlap.
"He's another horse I was very partial to, but it was time to (try to) move him," Ness said.
Trainer Cathy Rountree and jockey Ronnie Allen, Jr., combined for their third victory from three starters over the past two racing days when 6-year-old mare Kings Tuesday got up in the final strides to defeat Lucky Lass in a mile-and-a-sixteenth claiming race on the turf. Owned by Denis A. Dwyer, Kings Tuesday paid $19 to win.
Owner Ridenjac Racing and trainer Dennis Ward sent out two winners Wednesday. In the fifth race, the team won with 5-year-old mare Harlan's Pepper, with apprentice jockey Jerry Villegas in the irons. The Ridenjac-Ward team took the 10
race with 4-year-old filly Golden Playmate, who was ridden by Carol Cedeno.
Live racing at Tampa Bay Downs resumes Friday with a 10-race card beginning at approximately 12:38 p.m.
Tampa Bay Downs is open every day for simulcast wagering, no-limits poker action in The Silks Poker Room and golf fun and instruction at The Downs Golf Practice Facility.

Alumnus Success: Michael Mudd '97
Alumnus Success: Michael Mudd '97
Michael Mudd '97
Randolph-Macon College alumnus
Michael Mudd '97
is the principal at South Anna Elementary School in Hanover County, Virginia and an education professor at R-MC. Mudd learned the importance of networking when he was a student at R-MC, where he majored in
international studies
and minored in elementary
A Foundation for Success
Mudd participated in an independent study, co-authored and presented several publications, and studied abroad—all experiences that illustrated the power of connections.
"My independent study, on the topic of special-education inclusion—is an experience that ultimately led to my first teaching job, at Hanover County Public Schools," says Mudd. "I observed and participated in a special-education inclusion classroom that included students with disabilities and non-disabled students. The experience helped me make connections with teachers and administrators and provided me with a strong foundation in my first year of teaching."
For his culminating project, Mudd co-authored an article with his advisor and Education Professor Brenda Gilman. He also co-authored a proposal on inclusion in the public school classroom, which he presented at a symposium for educators in Williamsburg, Virginia.
"The experience as a presenter opened my eyes to the many different opportunities that were ahead of me and helped me to network with professionals throughout the state of Virginia," recalls Mudd. He also made global connections, traveling during January Term (
) to Italy in conjunction with a religious studies course. "I remember traveling with students who, leading up to the trip, I only knew by name," he says. "By the time we returned to campus I had developed many lasting relationships."
Career Highlights
Mudd was chosen Hanover County Beginning Teacher of the Year in 1998, and in 2002 he was chosen Henry Clay Elementary School Teacher of the Year. From 2003-2005 he served as assistant principal at Pearson's Corner Elementary School and Pole Green Elementary in Hanover County. He was appointed principal of Beaverdam Elementary School in Hanover in 2005 and appointed Principal of South Anna in 2011. As principal, he manages a school of 645 students and roughly 100 staff members.
"I love what I do," says Mudd. "I was well-prepared for my role as a teacher and principal as a result of my preparation at Randolph-Macon. The personal attention I received enabled me to fine-tune my skills as an educator, and the close connections I had with my professors continued beyond graduation and ultimately brought me back to R-MC in 2007 as an adjunct professor in the Education Department."
Looking Ahead
Mudd is a member of the Education Department Alumni Board, which held its first meeting during Homecoming 2013. The Board's theme, "
Connection, Communication, Collaboration
," was evident throughout the weekend's planned activities.
"It was a great way to reconnect with old friends while at the same time networking and brainstorming to identify the latest trends in teaching." says Mudd. "As teachers we are constantly striving to improve our craft; it makes sense that the Education Department also wants to keep up with the latest trends in an effort to establish a cutting-edge program for future teachers. Connecting with alumni and looking at education through the eyes of the practicing education alumni makes great sense."
Mudd is also excited about the college's
Special Education track for Education minors
, which will be in place beginning in fall 2014. Students who successfully complete the Special Education track of the Education minor will be eligible to receive a Special Education, General Curriculum, K-12 license from the Virginia Department of Education.
"A liberal arts education from Randolph-Macon College gives students the attention they deserve," says Mudd. "And this newest addition to the Education Department curriculum is a fantastic opportunity for students who want to go into teaching."
Asked what advice he'd give to prospective Yellow Jackets, Mudd says, "If you are open to working closely with your professors, if you desire small class sizes, if you are looking to customize your education, if you are looking to challenge yourself, Randolph-Macon College is the place for you."
Paving the Way for Success
Rather than prepare students for one career, Randolph-Macon College prepares students for a lifetime of careers in an ever-changing world. Exceptional faculty work with students to cultivate their ability to think critically and analytically and to find creative solutions for solving problems. R-MC graduates are well-prepared for successful careers, often far outside of their areas of study.

Shark Week - so, which DSLRs are the Sharks of the DSLR Sea?
It is Shark Week at the Discovery Channel, so that got me thinking (me thinking is usually not a good thing, but that's another story). What about DSLRs? Which DSLRs are the Sharks of the DSLR Sea? Please free to elaborate in the comments and/or vote in the polls below...
To give you an example of what I mean by a "DSLR Shark": A shark is a vicious predator that shreds the competition. Shark candidate? Nikon D3s! Not A Shark: Canon 1D Mark III - the shark's eyes had trouble focusing on its pray ;-)
A "dolphin DSLR" is a solid camera that plays well with others and adds value to the market but does not shred the competition to pieces.
A "sardine DSLR" is a more-of-the-same DSLR that does not add value to the overall market and it is a yawner.
(If you are reading this in an RSS reader or have Javascript turned off, you won't see the table of voting widgets below... Yes, the Leica M9 is a RF, not a DSLR)

The Baltic sea-side town of Neustadt
The sea-side town of Neustadt is situated right on the Baltic sea, where there are many delightful holiday establishments and properties: apartments, hotels, holiday villages and guest houses which tempt you to spend pleasurable short breaks and longer holidays. Your choice of holiday accommodation here usually offers you a jacuzzi, sauna, solarium and wellness alternatives. There are also play areas for children and special dog beaches for your four legged friends. Opportunities for pleasant leisure activities and international events will make your holiday in Neustadt a memorable experience. You can find out more about this in the following information.
Neustadt and the Baltic resorts of Pelzerhaken and Rettin together make the holiday region by Lübeck bay. You can find a lot of sun and fun on the Baltic sea's unusual south beach. Natural sand dunes, sea bridges and long walks invite you to entertainment, play and sport.
Neustadt itself is a lively little sea port. The beautiful, historical buildings and numerous shops and restaurants add to the friendly picture of the town. Year round in the town square there are varied events. On Tuesdays and Fridays the square is transformed into a bustling weekly market. Walks around the harbour and the sailing boat harbour, with the diverse boats and vessels, will entice you to take a trip on one of the popular small boat tours in Lübeck bay.
TV producers have also discovered how beautiful Neustadt and its surroundings are. The successful TV series Coast Guards ("Die Küstenwache") has been filmed here for many years.
|Neustadt - The coast guards' town
The successful TV series Coast Guards (Küstenwache) has been filmed here for over 10 years. As with the real coast guards, we can't imagine life without the crew on board Albatros 2 from Neustadt.
We have created many friendly ties during the past few years and the TV series now has its own fan club. The fan club support and follow the ZDF TV team and the actors during filming. We are especially proud of our 'ZDF Studio 1'. During the summer months the fan club organise an exhibition with original props, information events and sometimes autograph opportunities with the actors.
Thousands of fans of the ZDF Coast Guard series utilise a new chance to be as close as possible to their series stars every year.

For the last two months of 2012, members of the Port Chester Auxiliary Police Association stood outside of stores collecting buckets full of money.
On Friday, they showed off what they did with the money when they delivered more than 300 gifts to the Don Bosco Community Center for members of the Don Bosco Boys & Girls Club.
The gift giving was part of the club's Three Kings Day celebration, according to Father Richard Alejunas, executive director of the center. He added that they have an event yearly the last Saturday before Christmas that serves about 1,000 local children. The gifts given out on Friday went to about 150 kids ages 7-12 that are members of the boys and girls club, which Alejunas said is an after-school and weekend program for about 100 kids daily that also serves dinner each night.
While all the kids received multiple items, the most popular item for the girls, or at least the one that drew the most audible shrieks of excitement, were pillows featuring the face of different members of One Direction. Many boys huddled around the compared toy cars they received.
John Touri, assistant director of the auxiliary department, said they collected about $2,900-plus to be divided between gifts for kids at Don Bosco and all-inclusive movie passes for teenagers at the Carver Center, which they handed out last month.
This was the second year the auxiliary police collected money to purchase toys for kids. It was started last year by Melissa Salmon, president of the unit, and expanded this year to include Don Bosco after just raising money for the Carver Center.
Touri said they collected a bit less money this year than last, which he thinks is because of a variety of reasons. Superstorm Sandy delayed the collection process a bit, and then he thinks a lot of people who want to donate to help others were also donating to storm recovery and the people of Newtown, CT, after the elementary school shooting there.
"Still, no matter what's going on in the world, not matter how bad it is, when it comes to kids, people are going to open their wallets and help out," Touri said. "It's not their fault what's going on, and people just want to help."
Touri, Salmon and George Colaluca, director of the unit, were on hand Friday night to hand out the gifts. They were joined by Rosalie Chilelli, of Wells Fargo, who also assisted with the drive.
"They would come in the buckets filled to the top with singles and change," she said. "We'd exchange them for larger bills so it'd be easier for them when they went shopping."
The three auxiliary police officers all said getting to hand out the gifts was a heartwarming moment for them, and Salmon said that as long as others in the unit are willing to help, she plans on the toy drive remaining a yearly tradition.
"My son goes to school with a lot of the kids," she said. "So I know them a bit and know what they want. I can relate to them. It's just awesome to get to help out and see them all happy and excited."

Laird S. Campbell
Laird S. Campbell (March 16, 1924–August 16, 2012) studied law at the University of Kansas. He practiced in Denver from 1950 until 1994 and, at the University of Denver College of Law, taught insurance law for thirteen years and trusts and estates for five years.
Laird was recognized by his peers as an expert in trusts and estates and insurance law, particularly issues involving insurance coverage. He practiced with a number of other well-known and well-regarded lawyers, including Kenneth Wormwood, Winston Wolvington, William P. DeMoulin, and Richard J. Laugesen. He was his firm's ethics guru and was tasked with associate training. He turned out a contingent of lawyers who knew ethics, knew the law, and knew how to write—and who loved and respected him.
Being very much aware of the gap between law school and the skills needed in practice, Laird delighted in creating exercises for his law school classes that posed problems a newly admitted lawyer might encounter. One of his favorites was an exercise in trusts and estates that started with a memo from a senior lawyer.
The scenario was that the son of a client had bought a condo in Aspen and, because he would be overseas, asked his girlfriend to handle the purchase, including taking title. Differences had arisen between them, and the son was concerned that the girlfriend might sell or give away the condo. The assignment was to prevent this from happening. The memo included a copy of the legal description of the condo (the senior lawyer called the Pitkin County Title Company) and ended with this comment: "I'm sorry to ask you to do this the day after you were admitted to practice, but there's no one else available."
This assignment involved both civil procedure and trusts, topics separated by law school courses. A good many students were unable to find the proper court or venue or to distinguish between a resulting or constructive trust, or had never heard of a lis pendens.
Laird graded the exercises liberally, because he felt that the students were ill prepared to do them. He also knew, however, that by creating real-world problems, he was training them for real-world practice.
He is survived by his wife Nancy; children SueEllen, David, Douglas, and Bruce; eleven grandchildren; and three great-grandchildren.

Followers of children's literature have recently witnessed an unusual amount of illustrated books about the Holocaust being published. Along with the many narratives and memoirs for older readers, there is a large subgroup of supposedly simple picture books that are being offered to a younger crowd. After taking a look at almost everything about the Holocaust published in picture book format, one could come to the conclusion that children these days are seemingly prepared to absorb much of the horrors of 20th century at a tender age. Clearly this subject cannot be hidden from children who hear references to it often, but perhaps the bibliography discussed in this presentation will be of some assistance to teachers, librarians and booksellers who are at a loss as to which of thses pictrue books are most appropriate for various age groups, grades 4 through high school.
Presented by Lisa Silverman of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles.

HOPKINTON - If you have ever been confused as to which door to use when standing outside the front entrance of Hopkinton Town Hall, you are not alone. Town Manager William McGarry admitted that the two front doors often cause confusion amongst visitors, and it would benefit all if town hall had a more prominent entrance way for the public.
WARWICK – Local boy scouts got a taste of fame at a screening of Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom" at Showcase Cinema in Warwick Thursday night.
Excited shrieks echoed through the theater as the scouts saw themselves on the big screen.
"It was fun, it was a different experience," said Noah Morin, 14, a local boy scout. "We had to wear really short shorts and get haircuts."
NARRAGANSETT—The Town Council approved first readings of two ordinances Monday evening which would increase sewer and water rates for residents. In January, the town hired Pioneer Consulting Group, Inc., to review the town's Wastewater and Water Funds, and because of internal and external factors, there was a need to revise rates.
SOUTH KINGSTOWN – One hundred sixty graduates comprising The Prout School's Class of 2012 crossed the stage at URI's Ryan Center Tuesday night as they received their diplomas, ready to begin the next chapter in their lives.
PROVIDENCE—This past week, Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee signed into law the 'Good-Time' bill, which will prevent criminals convicted of serious offenses from being released earlier because of good behavior. The legislation, drafted last year by Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin and introduced by Representative Teresa Tanzi (D-South Kingstown, Narragansett), along with Senator V. Susan Sosnowski (D-South Kingstown, New Shoreham), is scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2012.

NORTH KINGSTOWN – What do you get when you combine members of the Rhode Island Wild Plant Society, graduates of the URI Master Gardeners program, a trio of landscape professionals, Plum Beach Garden Clubbers and a batch of cheerful volunteers?
In the wrong hands, you could have too mulch of a good thing. Sorry. I couldn't help myself.
NORTH KINGSTOWN – The sound of a wolf's soulful song to the skies fills the air in Dave Hornoff's cozy cabin on Pojac Point. It is coming from a video playing on his laptop.
No, wait! It's coming from his gorgeous Australian shepherd Cheney (for Lon, the actor, not Dick, the heartbeat-away-from-the-presidency guy.)
Wait! It's coming from Dave's cell phone.
Oh, good grief. It's coming from all three. At once.
By PAUL J. SPETRINI
NORTH KINGSTOWN—When North Kingstown senior Stephanie Andersen learned, in her sophomore year, she ranked second in the class of 2012, she knew the rest of her time in high school could be spent either chasing the top spot or accepting that every aspect of your life can't be controlled.
"As a sophomore I was really proud of [second place] and I definitely wanted to keep that spot," she recalls. "But after a while, I just had to let go and realize you can only do your best and see where it goes from there."
NORTH KINGSTOWN—North Kingstown High School senior Olivia Edwards is not perfect.
At least, that's what she would have you believe.
The valedictorian for NK's Class of 2012, Edwards says she has learned a lot about herself over the past four years. When she stands in front of her fellow classmates at graduation tomorrow evening at the Ryan Center at URI, the shy teenager with a passion for playing the cello will share what she feels is the biggest lesson she'll take away from high school.
What does it take to get to the top?
For North Kingstown seniors Olivia Edwards and Stephanie Andersen, the answer to that question was hard work, studying and a lot of fun.
This week, the Standard-Times profiles the valedictorian and salutatorian of NK High School ahead of Friday's graduation and gives you an inside look at what drove the two to find success both in and out of the classroom.
In addition, we bring you the latest news from the Exeter Town Council and tell you about a certain NK School Committee member who will seek election to the town council this November.

The Sony VPL-ES2 impressed us with its style rather than its substance, though its video capabilities are best-in-class.
Sony's VPL-VW600ES is far from the entry-level 4K projector we were expecting to see, but it should boast excellent image quality.
The Sony VPL-HW50ES costs more than most TVs, but for a fantastic big-screen cinema experience in the home it's a very good value.
Sony's two new receivers, in partnership with Control4, are the first consumer receivers to feature built-in home automation functionality.
With six HDMI inputs, an intuitive graphical user interface, and excellent audio and video quality, the Sony STR-DA5300ES raises the bar on what to expect from a high-end AV receiver.
It lacks some standard mainstream laptop features, including an integrated Webcam and multimedia control buttons, but the Sony Vaio VGN-NR498 holds some appeal thanks to its decent performance, good battery life, and excellent keyboard. Still, there's a cheaper version of this Vaio laptop we like better.
The Sony Xperia Z makes sense if a water-resistant design and excellent photos are a priority, but skip it if you demand blazingly fast performance and long battery life.
With slim 13-inch SSD laptops now well under $1,000, Sony's expensive, high-end Z series laptop is a tough sell, although the long-life slice battery and unique GPU/optical dock help make its case.
Sony's HT-XT1 sound stand is packed with features, looks sleek, and sounds great, making it a no-brainer upgrade over your TV's built-in speakers.

- Pizza & AffagatoOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014Was there on 9/19. I have been to Primo several times. Best the pizza has ever been and the best Affagato I've had there. I love the food!!!!!!!!!!!Special Features:
- Great Happy BirthdayclosetoitDined on 9/14/2014Booked Primo for my husband's birthday. We live close to the restaurant and have dined here before. It was a wonderful experience and the food and service were wonderful.Special Features:
- Outstanding PrimodinelocalDined on 9/3/2014Everything at Primo was outstanding. The food and service couldn't have been better. We definitely will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice placeDr111VIPDined on 8/30/2014We stayed at the hotel and ate dinner here. It was great.Special Features:
- a mixed bageatnOutDined on 8/21/2014They were out of the by the glass wine we wanted, how does that happen? And there was very loud woman in the bar area, we could hear her from our seats in the restaurant. She was screeching throughout our dinner. Spoiled the ambiance. Food was okay, salami and cheese plate very small for the price. Service was perfect, meal well paced, and the blood orange martini outstandingSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Could not pass up the pizzasagoodeaterVIPDined on 8/9/2014We always sit at the chef's counter, and usually can resist the pizzas being made in front of us, but the special that night was with garlic, fresh mozzarella, figs, etc. and we couldn't resist. I'm also happy to report that the zeppoles are back to their previously light, airy state.Special Features:
- PrimoOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/9/2014Food was excellent. Marcos is an excellent waiter. He is attentive, funny, and VERY professional. We will be back again.Special Features:
- CallieDined on 7/26/2014I was very disappointed in Primo. This was our third time there and third time was not the charm. The snapper was over cooked and had no flavor. Not Primo's fault but don't bother dressing up. People were in swim suit cover ups and shorts. Also lots of families with screaming babies, not good for a romantic meal. The prices reflect a high end special occasion restaurant, but it really isn't. Keeping in mind it's a Hotel restaurant.Special Features:
- Soup's on!agoodeaterVIPDined on 7/25/2014My husband is a soup-lover, and every soup here has been a winner. The shrimp bisque was excellent, as usual, but the chef made it extra special this time with shrimp and a puff garnish. My bone marrow was delicious, and enhanced by its three terrific sauces (spicy ghost chile pear, chimichurri, and eggplant caponata). IF these specials are on the menu, don't miss them. (BTW: I can't wait for the outrageous pork belly special to come back!)Special Features:
- Wonderfully fresh food.DaytonaDined on 7/20/2014We had a great evening. Kevin the server was excellent, all his recommendations were spot on. Thanks.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A favorite spotTrizDined on 7/19/2014Primo is a favorite spot for us, just for a quiet neighborhood dinner with friends or a special place to bring out-of-town guests. This weekend's dinner with friends was outstanding, as usual. Visiting family will be staying here next week, and we plan to continue the fun with several Primo dinners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Dining Experiencemjv1Dined on 7/17/2014It's a great experience all the way around. From the grill bar setup for one if necessary to the beautiful ambiance of the dining room.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unbelievable!VandraVIPDined on 7/12/2014I love this place. Every time I return I have another memorable experience. The servers know the menu inside and out and are quick to offer suggestions if asked. The atmosphere is understated elegance, and it's perfect for dining alone, with friends or someone special. I haven't had even an average meal yet, but be sure to try the squid-ink pasta, which comes with fat, juicy scallops. Yum!Special Features:
- JudyDined on 6/22/2014We had a great time. The food was excellent and the servers a delight.Special Features:
- Great sommelier!Travelingfoodie45Dined on 6/19/2014The sommelier joined us late in the evening and sat with our table to discuss the finer points of our wine. He was very knowledgable and a terrific addition to our table of friends!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Menu selection and food qualityOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/15/2014The menu selections were limited due primarily to off season reduction of diners. The duck was undercooked (raw and barely warm). The quality of the food that evening was not as we had expected. We had dined at Primos before and the fare was far superior. It was a disappointment.Special Features:
- Very EnjoyableAzgirlDined on 6/13/2014We had a lovely time and dinner there. Food and wine suggested was a great pairing. Wait staff all friendly and polite.Special Features:
- Very disapointedsadexperience1Dined on 5/30/2014Reservations were at 6:30. Didn't get done until 9:15. Our waitress was great. But the process in which the food came out was very poor. You shouldn't have to wait for 3 hour from start to finish to have dinner...Wanted to go see the entertainment on the patio but only got to enjoy it for about 20 minutes. Very disappointed...

- Figs were in seasonagoodeaterVIPDined on 5/23/2014The fig tree in the side yard yielded wonderful figs for the bruschetta - don't miss it if they're still ripe and on the menu. Scallops with black in linguini was delish.Special Features:
- A Great Mother's dayHaardrock1141VIPDined on 5/11/2014In the past our experience with dining out on Mother's Day has not been met with great success. PRIMO surpassed our expectations by a wide margin from the service provided by the wait staff to the great food prepared by the kitchen. The staff was very attentive to our needs and engaging in light conversation when appropriate. The Cioppino that I ordered was prepared differently than I have had elsewhere, including San Francisco, but was as good as I have had. If you are in Tucson and wanting fine dining, PRIMO should be at or near the top of your list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great dining at marriott resortBuckeyeVIPDined on 4/23/2014This restaurant was a pleasant surprise at the Marriott Star Pass Resort in Tucson. Interesting menu with food excellent as was the service. First night we ate from the full dinner menu. Another night we returned to the bar area for a lighter meal and the appetizers, pizzas, etc were also outstanding with attentive service. Nice wine list also.Special Features:

- It was a delightful eveningMegunticookDined on 2/26/2014It was a delightful evening in every way. Three of us sat outside, and had the patio to ourselves (visiting from Maine, we found the February evening plenty warm in Tucson). The server knew the menu thoroughly, and there was much of interest to choose from. The menu could be described as sort of "enlightened traditional." Sophisticated yet hearty, and thoroughly delicious. We wondered if we were going out on a limb when ordering fried artichokes (a personal favorite), as my dad was there, and it wasn't something he was used to eating -- but it was a conversion experience for him. Good wine, which we had by the quartino so that we could have some white and red, some Rhone and Chianti. Thanks to everyone.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good and not so good.Jdx2VIPDined on 2/15/2014When we first arrived the service and attention was awesome. However as the meal progressed the servers were nowhere to be found. We had an awesome mussel with lobster and shrimp starter. For dinner we had scallops and shrimp - the scallops were quite nice and on their own would rate very high. The shrimp unfortunately were way over cooked and were so encrusted in black pepper it killed the dish. Gelato for dessert was awesome. All in all we would probably try again and hope we just had some bad luck.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Huge portions, surprisingGoYoDined on 2/12/2014Huge portions, surprising for a classy place like this, especially with local organic ingredients. Wanted to try more, but left too much food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Huge disappointmentDevstarDined on 2/4/2014I've been a big fan of Melissa Kelly's cooking in all the years she's had the restaurant in Rockland. However here the food was appalling. It was salty overcooked meat and fish. The pizza was doughy and inedible. The desserts were excellent and the service was great but the starters and mains were shockingly bad. My dining companions all agreed and we'd all eaten in Rockland. The only saving grace were the desserts which tasted as if Price had made them and very attentive service.Special Features:
- DinnerK1p2Dined on 2/3/2014Staff is wonderful and very helpful. Food was exactly as they described.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foothills dining at its best!John2Dined on 1/29/2014Primo was TERRIFIC. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and promptly seated. The service throughout the evening was excellent by Sarah, our server. She was attentive without hovering over us. The food came out quickly from the appetizer right through dessert. Portions were just right, and the selections were perfectly prepared. The wine list was as good as one would find anywhere. The desserts menu made it difficult to choose just one, and the one we chose was sinfully delicious. We could not have had a better evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We all loved the ambiancePatty5158Dined on 1/25/2014We all loved the ambiance and relaxing vibe. The menu was amazing with dishes prepared in the moment not made ahead of time. Let me just mention a few items we had. The Carciofi, crispy artichoke with parmesan cheese was wonderful and we all wanted more of that. The fresh beet salad was delicious too. We also had the shrimp and the squid ink linguine, another winner. And last but not least we had a shrimp and scallop dish over squash that was fantastic. Service was well timed and very friendly.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We had a late dinner, maybe one of five couples in the whole place. Our waiter had great recommendations and made us feel like we were the only ones there.Special Features:
- Latest visit to PrimofoodsnobDined on 1/10/2014When ever we stay at the Starr Pass Marriott my wife and I always enjoy dinner at Primo. This occasion was one in several outstanding dinning events. My wife had the special Mussels that was prepared with various chilies and asked if it could be very spicy. Without any questions the dish was prepared and was excellent. To ensure that it was prepared correctly the Chef came directly to our table to make sure that it wasn't too hot and informed us that he was able to use a Ghost Chili in the dish. The only complain from my wife was that the Mussels were a bit on the small size, but besides that the dish was great! Overall another wonderful dinning experience at Primo.Special Features:

Cording is the process of preparing the fibers of various plants for weaving, basketry and other uses. It precedes and is believed to be the forerunner of basket making, although cording differs slightly from both basket making and weaving.
To make cordage from yucca fibers:
Separate the fibers and lay them out uniformly. The yucca leaf is larger at the bottom than at the top, so the fibers are thicker at the base.
Roll a long length of fiber down your leg with your open palm until it is round and reasonably uniform in size.
Bend the resulting string about 2/3 in half – or leave one end about 1/3 longer than the other.
The small loop in the bend is your starting point and should be held between the left thumb and forefinger (if you are right handed. I'm a southpaw).
You now have 2 loose ends hanging from the loop. Hold the twist secure, and twirl the top piece clockwise between the right thumb and forefingers.
Then fold the strand you have just twisted toward you, or counter-clockwise, and repeat the procedure with the opposite strand, moving the fingers on the left hand toward each new twist to hold it secure.
When you reach about 3 inches from the end of your shortest strand, lay a new piece alongside the short end, overlapping it to give a strong splice, and roll the 2 together.
Continue the twisting and folding until the desired length is reached.
Your cordage will not unravel because of the clock-wise, couter-clockwise twist which actually tightens against itself.
The strength of the cord will depend on the thickness of the strand and the quality of your materials; 2 or 3 strands of cordage may be twisted together in the same manner for more strength.
Be sure that your splices are not at the same point, or opposite in your cordage, as this will weaken the strand. Making uniform strands will insure against weak spots.

Blazingcatfur Gets Results! MacKay Cancels DND Speech By Canadian Islamic Congress;)
This is a small victory in a long war. A special thanks to our readers and the bloggers who supported this effort but most importantly we thank those who worked behind the scenes to make this happen. Good work all of you!
What we have witnessed is the effort by an extremist organization to legitimize itself in the public eye. This did not happen without enablers; useful idiots or willing conspirators the CIC had help from the inside. Whether the rot extends to DND itself or is confined to DFAIT remains to be seen. Hard questions must be asked. Access To Information requests with the Defence Department's visible minority advisory group will be filed. We'll have more on the plan of action as it develops.
Contrary to the counter spin of the usual suspects the Canadian Islamic Congress has not been denied their right to free speech. They have simply been disinvited to speak at a government event, they remain perfectly free to continue expressing their views. Furthermore, and contrary to what some charge, the CIC has not been disinivited solely on the basis of the anti-semitic remarks of past president Mohamed Elmasry, rather it is the Canadian Islamic Congress's historic and continued advocacy of radical Islamist doctrine and anti-semitism that forms the justification for their exclusion from this event.
Noteworthy Canadian Islamic Congress Facts:
The CIC advocates on behalf of Hamas and Hizbollah, banned terrorist groups
The CIC has honoured Islamist hatemonger Zafar Bangash as a "Community Leader" a relationship they maintain to this day.
The CIC publishes work by notorious jew baiter "Greg Felton" author of the vile "The Host and the Parasite" , CIC representatives also happily shared a stage with Felton at a CIC event.
The CIC has been linked to the distrbution of Anti-Semitic election flyers
The CIC has promoted anti-semitic essay contests
The CIC was responsible for the infamous Maclean's Human Right Commission Free Speech Witch Hunt, which Imam Delic endorsed.
The CIC advocates for the notorius Islamist sponsored anti-free speech UN resolution promoting the "Prohibition of the public defamation of religion" which is a soft-jihad lawfare effort by the Organisation of Islamic States to make criticism of Islam illegal. Showing much fortitude Canada voted against this effort to subvert our fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression, causing CIC President Wahida Valiante to reveal the true nature of the CIC's Islamist agenda against free speech and Canadian values in her denunciation of our government. The "defamation of religion" resolution is considered so dangerous a threat that even normally soft-headed members of the lib-left, such as John Ralston Saul, have denounced it.
The CIC's current president, Wahida Valiante espouses a particularly vile strain of 911 Trutherism " "By associating the words "Islamic terrorism" with the unknown attackers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon....
MacKay pulls plug on imam's speech at defence HQ
OTTAWA — A speech at National Defence headquarters by the outspoken executive director of the Canadian Islamic Congress has been cancelled due to his organization's "extremist views."
A spokesman for Defence Minister Peter MacKay said Imam Zijad Delic was scheduled to make an address as part of Islamic Heritage Month on Oct. 4 but that MacKay decided to cancel the event.
"The Canadian Islamic Congress has declared that Israelis over the age of 18 are legitimate targets of suicide bombers," spokesman Jay Paxton said in an email to Global National.
"These types of comments don't support Islamic Heritage, they simply divide Canadians, promulgate hate and they have no place in Monday's celebrations." An expanded version of the article appears here in which Imam Delic lies through his teeth.
Here's the original Post: What the hell is going on at DND?
Does our Government, the one that cut off relations with this anti-semitic organization know what the hell is going on? I'm told this is the work of the "Muslim Communities Working Group at DFAIT which has promoted pro-Sharia speakers,". Only one other rogue agency has established ties with the CIC, the CHRC.
Gee do you think they'll allow a Christian Heritage Month?
I see the last agenda item is a "cultural food tasting", which is probably why they decided to invite Imam Delic of the Canadian Islamic Congress and not Wahida "The Hutt" Valiante, President of the CIC, Chair of Islamic History Month and 911 Troofer!
"By associating the words "Islamic terrorism" with the unknown attackers of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and by not acknowledging that a political agenda is not the same thing as a belief system, Bush invoked the oldest and the strongest kind of human fear -- fear of the unknown. Bush and the pro-Israel lobby continue to instill fear in the West by escalating unsubstantiated threats against them and fabricating a vast web of lies to justify their actions against Palestine, Iraq, Syria, and now Iran.""
signatory to this document "A Defense of Free Speech by Canadian & American Muslims" and a fine practitioner of taqiyya. In this CIC communique, "Harper Government condemned for not saying "NO" to islamophobia", she chastises the government for voting against the notorious OIC sponsored anti-free speech UN resolution "Prohibition on the public defamation of religion"
Nice folks you hang with DND!

Sarah Palin's Stance On Technology Issues
Soulskill posted about 6 years ago | from the wait,-alaska-has-electricity? dept.1115
Revolution Radio writes "BetaNews has a short description of what we might expect from Governor Palin regarding technology issues. She demonstrated her familiarity with the internet by initiating an online education program for state workers, using the web for government transparency, and a supporting the general concept of 'long-distance distribution of services' (similar to net neutrality?)." We've previously discussed Senator Joe Biden's tech voting record and compared the technology platforms of Obama and McCain. In addition to the above story about Palin, Betanews also has analyses of Obama, McCain, and Biden regarding tech policy.
