Thursdays at 9/8c
Nina Garcia Blog
Category: "Episode 12"
Episode 12: Acropolis At Last
We've finally reached the end of the road. This season's final challenge began with a beautiful trip to the Getty Center in Malibu. Truly one of the great architectural treasures of Los Angeles County, it is a befitting location for the last challenge. Within the context of fashion design, the Getty Center is a perfect metaphor, being at once a sparkling triumph of contemporary architecture as well as a temple that houses masterpieces of towering significance in art history. Here, our remaining designers are challenged to do work inspired by this setting, and it reminds us of the delicate balance that great fashion design must maintain between references to the past and explorations of what the future might be.
Scouring the grounds of the Getty to find inspiration for their final presentation, many of the designers chose things from the past. Carol Hannah alighted upon an 18th-century bed. Irina chose a 19th-century painting depicting a fictional scene from classical antiquity. And Gordana decided upon an edition of one of Claude Monet's early Impressionist canvases. Carol Hannah's bed seemed a logical source of inspiration for a designer who has distinguished herself with her dress designs throughout the competition. Considering the ample fabric draping on this bed, it ensured that there would be little lost in translation when it became a garment. Or so one would think. Her final dress was cast from a pale gold silk satin, which was unexpected, given the overwhelming preponderance of blue in her inspiration source. And although the judges this week praised the construction of this dress, I would go farther than Nina, arguing that this dress had some unsettling proportions. I always believe that the success of these fishtail/mermaid-ish silhouettes pivots upon the way they reference the human body. Here, the band that joins the skirt to the upper half of the dress crosses the body with a rather shallow incline that exaggerates the size of the model's hips. I'm convinced that if it began at, or slightly above, the high hip and descended at a sharper angle, ending below the knee, it wouldn't seem so much that the dress was abruptly chopping the model's body in half. Also, the place where the ropey straps connect to the dress itself seems very abrupt, almost reminiscent of a rowboat tethered to the post of a lake dock.
Gordana chose one of Monet's images of Rouen Cathedral for her inspiration. True to form, she captured the milky coloration of the original painting, and manipulated long panels of silk organza to mimic Monet's blurry brushstrokes. Impressionism is a dangerous inspiration choice for a designer, considering the populist appeal of this school of painting. It runs the risk of seeming "uninspired," since we have become so familiar with Impressionist works, having seen them reproduced on everything from calendars to coffee mugs. Nevertheless, Gordana creates an elegant gown, despite the fact that it still seems a very meek choice for a "finale dress." This meekness can probably be attributed to the spare, horizontal neckline, and the plain, un-embellished back of the dress.
Irina, on the other hand, takes more of an easy way out, by choosing to create a dress inspired by a painting depicting two women who are also wearing dresses. This outfit has lost some of its brilliance for me since I first viewed this episode, because it recently hit me that all she really had to do was "update" the look that was already in the painting. Even though I think Irina's version of a Greek stola was inspired, I do wish that she had chosen some inspiration that would have offered a more dramatic translation into fashion. Ever the economist, Irina is an excellent time manager, if she is anything, so she very efficiently executed her "update," wisely opting out of incorporating what must have been a buckskin pelt.
Finally, we get to Althea and Christopher. Both of these designers found inspiration in the architecture of the Getty Center. Althea chose the bold lines and shapes created by the building, and, like Carol Hannah, chose a golden beige fabric to execute her ensemble. Here, poor Althea flew too close to the sun and, unlike Irina, clearly ran out of time. However, the factor of time will not be an issue when it comes to Bryant Park, so I'm glad that she will have the opportunity to wow us there. Her construction truly suggested a fresh perspective on the idea of tailoring, and she left us wanting to see what more she is capable of.
Christopher Straub — he of the "false confidence," as Irina put it — doesn't make it to Bryant Park, for the same basic reasons that his work has been in the "bottom three" for the last FIVE challenges. Christopher is a designer who could seriously stand some further fashion education. He is articulate and clearly chooses excellent inspiration. (It's not everyone who finds beauty in a puddle of water.) However, he spent most of his time this season talking about how much he loved his work, instead of incorporating the criticism he received into the next challenge. And yet this may have been too much to ask of him. He doesn't seem to have much training in tailoring. It is unfortunate that he has continued to simply gather his necklines over and over again into either jabots or halter tops. It makes me wonder if he knows how to make a facing, and don't let me get started on the conspicuous absence of set-in sleeves in his work, all season long. Christopher is a rousing endorsement for a good design education if ever there was one, and hopefully a benchmark for the people who cast "Project Runway." It is certainly possible to learn to sew without being formally trained; however, disasters of "proportion" are only avoided if one has been subjected to the critical rigors that art school entails. Christopher's tears on the runway are the virgin tears of someone who has never had his work seriously critiqued in terms of design. I think we all learned this season that people with low levels of experience not only do poorly on the show, but they also fail to intrigue us with their work. The moment the work becomes redundant or cliche, the show becomes boring.
So, it's the "Charlie's Angels" of fashion next week. [Editor's Note: Funny that both Nick Verreos and Andrae called the final three "Charlie's Angels" in their blogs!] The girls have vanquished everyone else, and next week we'll get to see what they are able to produce with the luxury of more time. Indeed, may the best woman win!

Danica passed her ARCA test so now the real fun startsWednesday, February 10th, 2010
By Richard Allen

The fastest 43 cars will race in the Daytona 500…right?Tuesday, February 9th, 2010
By Richard Allen
There will be forty-three cars to take the green flag for Sunday's Daytona 500. To a newcomer to this sport it would seem logical to assume that the fastest forty-three cars in qualifying would be the ones to take that green flag. However, that is not how it works.
First of all, the Daytona […]
I like Brad KeselowskiTuesday, February 9th, 2010
By Richard Allen
After watching him race for a little over a year now I have come to the conclusion that I like Brad Keselowski. To me, he embodies what all NASCAR drivers ought to be.

Earnhardt style leadership would lessen practice crashesSunday, February 7th, 2010
By Richard Allen
On Thursday NASCAR Sprint Cup cars hit the track for the first time in 2010. Shortly after that, they began hitting each other and the wall. Quickly, drivers and commentators began blaming the new restrictor plates being used. The more open plates caused cars to close on one another too quickly they said, […]
Bud Shootout finish ruins a great Saturday for NASCARSaturday, February 6th, 2010
By Richard Allen
Everything seemed to be going so well for NASCAR on Saturday.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr., the sport's most popular driver, looked to take the first step toward a comeback by qualifying on the outside of the front row for next weekend's Daytona 500. After a disastrous 2009, NASCAR needs its top fan favorite to recover […]
What does front row start mean for 5 and 88 teams?Saturday, February 6th, 2010
By Richard Allen
In the grand scheme of things qualifying on the front row for the Daytona 500 does not guarantee anything other than a front row start in the Daytona 500. However, for the teams of Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. Saturday's qualifying results must have been very satisfying.
As is often pointed out, the […]
NASCAR makes a good decision/Junior, Robby and Bill near the top of speed chart/and TV timesFriday, February 5th, 2010
By Richard Allen
From the department of giving credit where credit is due, NASCAR made a good and fair decision by allowing those teams who did not get to practice on Friday due to the weather to have some track time on Saturday morning before Daytona 500 qualifying.
While some might argue that the track was open […]
Harvick returning to the scene of two more recent successesFriday, February 5th, 2010
By Richard Allen
A couple of recent February trips to the Daytona International Speedway have produce big wins in the career of Kevin Harvick. Unfortunately for the driver of car #29, those are the only wins he has had in three years.

Will practice crashes bring and end to bump drafting?Thursday, February 4th, 2010
By Richard Allen
When NASCAR announced they were going to reverse the policy instituted last season at Talladega and again allow drivers to bump draft I had the fear that after a couple of practice wrecks they might once again take away the bump draft.
Well, they've now had some practice crashes. As a matter of fact, […]
What if Danica actually wins something?Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

That's right sports fans. This weekend promises one of the biggest events of the year in all of sports. Yes, I am talking about the debut of Danica Patrick driving a stock car.
Well, you might have thought I was going to mention that other sporting event taking place just a little south of […]
Michael Waltrip Racing set to move toward the top tierTuesday, February 2nd, 2010
By Richard Allen
I'll admit that when I first heard Michael Waltrip was forming his own NASCAR Sprint Cup team I was less than optimistic that the new team would ever be successful. It is extremely difficult for any new car owner to make it in racing, let alone as a driver/owner. And more, Waltrip's television […]

Tesla outsells Porsche, Jaguar in California; market value tops $20 billion
10 years in the making, the EV startup starts recording a profit.
Since launching in 2003, Tesla has – against all odds and predictions – taken the almost obscure concept of electric-powered vehicles mainstream.
After 10 long years of production, but only three years as a publicly traded company, Tesla's market value hit a record high of $20 billion at the beginning of this week. Heck, you might not believe it, but with just one model, the company is outselling Porsche in Tesla's home state of California. According to a report from the California New Car Dealers Association, more Californians have registered a new Tesla through the first half of the year than a new Cadillac, Buick, Volvo, Chrysler, Fiat, Mitsubishi, Lincoln, Land Rover or Jaguar. So what's going on?
Change takes time. For years, environmental activists have pushed to reduce energy consumption and cut down on non-biodegradable items, such as plastic bags, that consumers use. Only now, after what feels like more than a decade of struggle and public-service announcements, are people bringing their own bags to the supermarket.
So it follows that after its own 10-year struggle, Tesla is finally reporting profits – albeit not from its automotive sales but from special revenue sources – and making a real name for itself. We don't need to tell you that building cars in a market full of nothing but very big players is a heck of a lot harder than bringing a bag to the supermarket.
This has proved a good year for Tesla, with the Model S being labeled Motor Trend's and Automobile Magazine's 2013 Car of the Year, among other honors. During the first quarter of 2013, roughly 4,900 Model S cars were sold in the U.S., making it the top-selling plug-in electric car in North America, ahead of the Chevrolet Volt and the Nissan Leaf.
For the remainder of 2013, Tesla intends to deliver 21,000 Model S sedans and projects doubling that figure that in 2014. According to CEO Elon Musk, the demand for the Model S currently exceeds Tesla's ability to make it.
Despite low expectations from independent auto analysts, Tesla has big plans. Slated for production in 2014 is the Model X CUV, which received a warm welcome at its 2012 unveiling at Tesla's design studios in Hawthorne, Calif. There have even been talks of building family-sized minivans and an electric pickup truck.
The sky is the limit for Tesla, as long as the company continues recording profits and cranking out its Model S. Maybe now it can figure out a way to reduce the sticker price so that the common folk can be a little more "green" themselves.

Wow.. I'm amazed at the bashers that have probably never seen one in person. This car didn't get an award because it's a tree huggers dream. This car is an absolute beast. It's a 4 door sedan that runs 12.3s 1/4 miles, handles like a porche, and has almost a 300mile range. The interior is super high class with an lcd screen that looks like a big screen. A close friend of mine who ONLY drives Mercedes and BMW's just drove one and is now on the list to buy one. This same guy has driven Ferarri F50's and other exotics and said that the Telsa S is amazing. My supercharged Cadillac STS-V was $80k new, so $70k for a car of this caliber is not bad.
I'd buy a Tesla just for the name and principle!
...and I'd drive an "Edison" right off the road if there ever was one!
1903: Thomas Edison stages his highly publicized electrocution of an elephant in order to demonstrate the dangers of Nikola Tesla's alternating current, which, if it posed any immediate danger at all, was to Edison's own direct current.
Payback's a b1tch!
I don't understand idiots who politicize other people's car choices. I personally know two Prius owners, one is a rampant tea-party birther and the other is as far from a tree-hugger as you can get. They bought their cars because they are smooth, comfortable, nearly silent, and get an honest 43 mpg in city driving. They made rational choices in their cars based on their wants and needs as drivers, not some imaginary political motivation. BTW, they both usually drive at least 5-10 mph above the speed limit.
", the demand for the Model S currently exceeds Tesla's ability to make it. ".
To suggest that Mr. Musk lower the price of his produce is absolutely absurd. If you were in Mr. Musk's position, Why in the world would you even consider lowering the price on a product where, even at it's current price, you cannot meet demand? Either the writer knows nothing about business and finance, or this was a very poorly worded sentence. Perhaps a better way to have put it would have been to suggest to Mr. Musk, one of the greatest inventors of our time, that he consider also manufacturing, in parallel to the fantastic Model S, a more budget friendly, stripped down version to compete with the Leaf. To suggest that the pricing of the Model S should be reduced to compete with the Leaf is like suggesting that the pricing of yachts should be reduced to compete with rowboats. Duh.

Who will be UGA's first commitment for 2010?
Somebody has got to be first. Who will it be? How much longer will it take before one of the highly-regarded juniors coveted by Georgia finally pledges to sign with the Bulldogs?
Juniors are committing to colleges all over the country. Texas has 20 early commitments, while Florida has seven, according to Rivals. South Carolina has three, as does Alabama, including North Gwinnett's Austin Shepherd. Georgia Tech has one 2010 commitment, Collins Hill tailback Charles Perkins.
What about Georgia? Last year by signing day, the Bulldogs had five early commitments, all in-state players. UGA recruiting coordinator Rodney Garner was asked why he didn't think the Bulldogs had any juniors committed this year by signing day.
"That's not true," the poker-faced Garner said.
Garner could've been teasing. But more than likely, one of Georgia's junior targets has let it be known privately that he is indeed headed to Athens. However, he just wants a little more time to look around before publicly signing off on the deal.
Who will be No. 1 for UGA? Based on last year's early success within the state, UGA's first 2010 commitment will likely be from the local breeding grounds. Therefore we asked a few of the homegrown players atop UGA's wishlist this question: Have you committed to Georgia?
"No, sir, but I like Georgia a lot," Douglass defensive end Garrison Smith. "I'm just looking at my options. I'm taking my time looking over all the schools because when I do commit, it's my word."
M.L. Brown's Mack Brown is considered one of the nation's top tailbacks. "I haven't committed to Georgia, or anyone," Brown said. "I like Georgia. They were one of the two main teams I followed growing up, along with Florida. I know some people think I'm going to Florida. But I don't have any favorites and I'm still visiting schools. I'm thinking about committing later this summer, maybe just before the start of football season."
Warner Robins defensive tackle Jeffrey Whitaker was one of the first 2010 prospects offered by Georgia, which makes him a popular choice to be No. 1. "No, I haven't committed to anyone yet. People ask me if I've committed to Georgia. They ask me the same thing about North Carolina. It's not true. I'm wide open and I don't think I'm going to commit anytime soon."
How about North Gwinnett's JaWuan James? He's the state's top offensive lineman prospect with 26 offers. "No, nothing yet. Georgia is one of the schools I'm looking at the hardest. I'm keep evaluating all the schools a lot, and I'd like a chance to take some official visits next season before committing anywhere."
Dalton defensive end Jalen Fields, Booker T. Washington wide receiver Antonio Goodwin, Newnan safety Alec Ogletree, Tattnall Square Academy athlete DeAndre Smelter, Westlake linebacker Michael Taylor are a few of the state's other top prospects that speak favorably of Georgia.
Mark Richt will meet and greet a lot of potential No. 1s at Georgia's Junior Day on March 21 and the G-Day Game of April 11. It's hard to imagine that at least one of UGA's targets, if not more, won't commit by then.
The big question is: Who will it be? Who will be Georgia's first commitment for 2010? Take your best guess.

LSU Fanatic, i agree that the end of the Stafford era can be a very good thing. So much hype placed on one person can be a detriment to the whole team. As for UF and the east dominance: it's been all about Tebow and his camera hogging ways. They have nobody, and i mean nobody behind him. I have heard folks pray Tebow didn't bolt, due to the experience behind him. Joe Cox has an insurmountable advantage to lift UGA into it's future, and no UGA fan can forget the win over Colorado.

Aparently not. But for everyone else, The Dawg days officially began November 29th 2008
Georgia Tech Ends Losing Streak, Runs Over Georgia 45-42
Posted by RSD on 11/29/2008 – Permalink
How will Mark Richt rationalize this loss? Was Georgia Tech and their triple-option offense the better team? Was Georgia's defense to blame? Or was it the Bulldogs' special teams again? Either way, the Yellow Jackets ended their 7-game losing streak against UGA by rushing for 409 yards and beating the Bulldogs between the hedges 45-42.
Going into halftime, everything was going Georgia's way. The Dawgs were cruising behind Matthew Stafford and senior wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi with a 28-12 advantage. But then came the 3rd quarter. The Bulldogs inexplicably kicked the opening kickoff out of bounds, giving the Yellow Jackets the ball at their own 40-yard line. This was the 2nd Georgia kickoff of the game to land out of bounds.
On Tech's first play, Jonathan Dwyer rushed for 60 yards and a touchdown. The Yellow Jackets scored on their 2-point conversion to cut Georgia's lead to 28-20. Georgia then gave the ball back after a 3-and-out. On Tech's next possession, they scored on a 10-play drive, converted the 2-pointer and the game was tied.
On the ensuing kickoff, Georgia's Richard Samuel fumbled, giving the Yellow Jackets the ball at the Bulldog's 23 yard line. On the first play, Jonathan Dwyer rushed 23-yards for the touchdown, giving the Yellow Jackets the lead for good.
Georgia's 3rd loss of the season overshadowed great performances by senior wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi and junior quarterback Matthew Stafford. Massaquoi caught 11 passes for 180 yards and 3 touchdowns. Stafford, possibly playing in his last game at home, completed 24-of-39 passes for 407 yards and 5 touchdowns. In the 1st quarter, Stafford threw an interception that was returned 35 yards for a touchdown by Tech's Morgan Burnett.
The loss completes Georgia's 2008 regular season, giving them an overall record of 9-3. In their 3 losses, the Bulldog defense surrendered an average of 45 points per game. Not exactly what you would expect from a Georgia team that was ranked 1st in the pre-season.
Barring some unexpected results in other games, the Georgia Bulldogs should receive an invitation to the Capital One Bowl in Orlando. If invited, they will likely face the Ohio State Buckeyes. The game will be played on Thursday, January 1, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Hey superDawg, a little bit louder now-

The landlord and/or leasing personnel have the right to enter your residence under the following conditions:
It is always wise to insure your personal property because the landlord will not pay for your personal property loss. The insurance on the apartment building only pays for the building itself, not for the personal belongings of the tenants.
You first need to know how much rental insurance you may need. Once you decide to purchase renter's insurance, take an inventory of your belongings and their current value before seeing an insurance agent. Check with your family before purchasing rental insurance because you may be covered under their policy or you may become covered on that policy as a rider at a reduced rate.
Renter's insurance typically covers direct loss against fire, theft, and acts of vandalism to items such as furniture, electronic equipment, clothes, jewelry, paintings, photos, books, cameras, tools, etc. Read your policy carefully. Know what is and is not covered.


text: NDOW Divisions The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) is the state agency responsible for the protection, restoration and management of fish and wildlife resources, and the promotion of boating safety on Nevada's waters. In order to most effectively meet these responsibilities NDOW has seven different divisions focusing on various aspects of the ultimate responsibilities. These include: Operations Division The Operations Division is responsible for the business affairs of the department which include the management of the customer service programs comprised of licensing, boat titling and registration, application hunts; special licenses and permits; land agent activities; engineering services; computer and networking services; and statewide building maintenance. The Operations Division is also responsible for the department's aviation program. Wildlife Diversity Conserving the state's unique wildlife diversity is a major challenge. In 2001, funds were made available through the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to support the enhancement of non-game programs. In February of 2002 the Nevada Department of Wildlife non-game biologists became part of the new Wildlife Diversity Division, and on July 1, 2002 NDOW began focusing on the non-game resources of the state.Unfortunately, we are losing much of Nevada's biodiversity. There are 29 native species listed as threatened or endangered in Nevada. Many natural ecosystems have been degraded to the point that they no longer provide essential products or services.Biodiversity -(which means a variation in natural ecosystems, native species, and the genetic variation within each species), comprises a vital resource for Nevada. Natural ecosystems perform critical services including regulation of the climate and hydrologic cycle, replenishment of soils and their fertility, and detoxification of wastes. Native species provide timber, forage, harvestable fish and wildlife, and are integral to ecosystem function.It has been the responsibility of the personnel in the Wildlife Diversity Division to compile division data on the abundance and distribution of many of the less well-known wildlife species of Nevada. The division has taken historical wildlife records, records of scientifically collected specimens, records of commercially collected specimens, and other wildlife related data and created several large databases. These databases are distributed to biologists around the state and also shared with other agencies to help everyone make well-informed decisions on the management of natural resources. Nevada Wildlife Action PlanView a USFWS list of Nevada's threatened and endangered species Geographic Information System In addition to assembly and distribution of wildlife data, the Biodiversity Section houses the division's Geographic Information System (GIS). GIS is a new and rapidly emerging technology that provides the Division with an extremely powerful tool with which to analyze wildlife and their habitats. Each of the division's three regions has a GIS capable workstation. Regional GIS workstations are assigned to a regional biologist who is trained in software operation. The GIS allows biologists to view animal distributions through time and space, looking for changes in distribution, abundance, and behavior.Once data is entered and a map is created, the new map can be overlaid with up to 38 other maps and can then be queried for any number of attributes. In a project containing maps of topography, vegetation, land ownership, streams, lakes, and roads, a person could select on any of a unique set of conditions. For example, the GIS could be asked to display only those areas that are publicly owned lands between 6000' and 9000' elevation, with bitterbrush, sagebrush, serviceberry, and mountain mahogany, within 25 miles of a road and 10 miles of water. In a project completed for the Game Bureau, total area (sq. miles) for each of the hunt units was calculated with the GIS as well as total area (sq. miles) of each land ownership class in each of the hunt units. Eventually we may calculate areas of each vegetation type on public and private lands within each hunt unit. Map Analysis Shows Species/Habitat Relationships With any species population or distribution data, we can create a map to explore relationships between species and their habitats, or species and other species. We can perform these type of analyses for any species for which we have or can collect data. Long term data sets are particularly useful in elucidating habitat/species and species/species relationships, as cause and/or effect of changes in distributions through time are often evident. For example, total area (sq. miles) of high quality deer winter forage could be calculated for any given wintering area and compared with total number of deer occupying that area. An analysis such as this can be used to identify factors limiting a species growth, distribution, or even the carrying capacity of the range in some instances.We have a vegetation map of the entire state with sixty-five cover-types defined. Therefore, in any analysis, vegetation can be analyzed as an individual species, i.e. bitterbrush, or grouped as multiple species, i.e. bitterbrush, sagebrush, serviceberry, and mountain mahogany. By analyzing and interpreting data on ecosystems and species distributions, we can identify which segments of land are better suited for different uses.A sustainable future for Nevada depends upon the proper management of its biological resources. As the state's population continues to grow, so do conflicts over management and resource use. Equitable solutions to these conflicts are facilitated by the accurate data and objective science the Biodiversity Section is committed to provide. Conservation Education Division The Conservation Education Division works to promote Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) programs, services and recreational opportunities. The Division educates the public about state wildlife and boating rules and regulations, as well as other wildlife, habitat and fishing issues. The Division also strives to involve students, teachers and the public through hunter, angler and wildlife education programs. Additionally, the Division has developed a volunteer program to provide the public a hands on way to get involved in projects like seed gathering or fish stocking.Information programs: Weekly television and radio programs Press releases and media contacts Publications Website - email us Marketing & Public Affairs Education programs: Hunter Education Angler Education (Fishing Clinics, Trout in the Classroom) Wildlife Education Volunteer Programs:PROWL - Preserving Our Wildlife Legacy, continued to progress in 2004 using the efforts of 453 volunteers who contributed more than 18,516 hours of service to the department. Volunteers participate in projects such as seed collection and plantings, fish stocking and salvage, sage grouse lek surveys, and bighorn sheep and chukar capture and relocation efforts. Recently, these volunteer efforts were valued at an estimated $560,000 in time and mileage that applied as in-kind match to federal grants.The benefits of the volunteer program are many, including connecting people with wildlife, accomplishing more work than normally possible, increasing awareness of the Department's role, and generating positive publicity for wildlife. Fisheries Division The Fisheries Division works to ensure the health and vitality of Nevada's fish in its network of streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. Hatcheries produce and stock fish, and biologists manage fish and amphibian populations, water quality and aquatic habitat.Fish management tools: Hatcheries and rearing stations plus stocking program Stream surveys Electro-fishing and netting population surveys Acquisition of Habitat and conservation pools Water quality and habitat enhancement Fisheries issues: Municipal, industrial and agricultural water use Endemic and endangered species (view a USFWS list of Nevada's threatened and endangered species) Water quality In-stream flow and conservation pools Predators and disease Game Division The Game Division is responsible for management, protection, research and monitoring of wildlife classified as game mammals, upland and migratory game birds and furbearing mammals. The Division has four program areas: avian and terrestrial game species management, game wildlife/depredation control and compensation, predator management and wildlife health and disease monitoring.Visit the Hunting section for specific information about hunting game in Nevada. Habitat Division The Habitat Division's main objective is to ensure that Nevada wildlife habitats are productive and in good ecological condition.The Division is responsible for reviewing, assessing, and providing comments on all proposed land and water uses, providing fish and wildlife data to all entities for planning and decision-making purposes.The Habitat Division is also responsible for planning, operating, and maintaining approximately 120,000 acres of state-owned lands administered as Wildlife Management Areas (WMA's).The Division is also responsible for administering the water development, rangeland, and wildfire rehabilitation efforts for the department. Additionally, the bureau has regulatory responsibility for Industrial Artificial Pond permitting (primarily the nearly 100 Nevada gold mining operations) statewide.Some of the Division's most Recent Accomplishments include: In cooperation with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, completed acquisition of 2,105 acres of quality wildlife habitat for annexation to the Mason Valley WMA. Continued to provide comments and recommendations annually on hundreds of land use planning proposals associated with the proposed establishment of geothermal, solar and wind generation power projects, mining operations and other land uses to be located on public and private lands throughout the state. Continue to coordinate with the Bureau of Land Management on their development and management of wild horse populations in the state by supporting wild horse gathers, identifying land use impacts resulting from wild horse and burro use and working towards minimizing impacts to wildlife populations and their habitat. Completed the construction of 13 ponds and other wetland enhancement projects at the Steptoe Wildlife Management Area near Ely. Completed the installation of over 5,000 lineal feet of pipe to improve water delivery efficiency at the Overton WMA. This project was accomplished with Question 1 bond funding. Continued range rehabilitation work on wildlife habitat that has been damaged by wildfire, overtaken by noxious invasive weedy species or damaged by historic land use practices. Seed mixtures are enhanced to provide forage and cover for target species including sage grouse, mule deer and migratory birds. In cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, completed pond leveling and the installation of pumps and pipelines to improve water use efficiency at the Mason Valley WMA. Continued the construction and maintenance of large and small game water developments throughout the state. This program receives significant support from sportsmen's organizations as well as private individuals and industry. Initiated the formation of the Nevada Partners for Conservation Development – a unique partnership of several natural resource agencies and organizations committed to providing solutions to a host of conservations issues throughout the state. Law Enforcement Division The Division of Law Enforcement is responsible for protecting Nevada's wildlife resources and ensuring the safety of the boating public, which includes enforcing the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes and all other regulations that affect wildlife issues.Support activities of this division include implementing Operation Game Thief, and providing warden training, public assistance, and radio communications. In 2000, Nevada's 35 game wardens handled patrol duties over the entire area of the state; approximately 110,000 square miles. Most wardens patrol an area of 3,235 square miles, while a few are responsible for patrol areas of nearly 10,000 square miles Director's Office See the Directors

All CVS Pharmacy store brands 40 percent off online
Today and Friday (June 4-5) all of CVS' store brands are discounted 40 percent online only. That's a great discount on what I consider to be one of CVS' best deals. The prices on prescription drugs, for example, are rarely price-competitive without insurance at CVS or Walgreens. But the store brands at either pharmacy retailer are an exception. At 40 percent off already low prices, you just can't beat the prices on over-the-counter medicines, baby wipes, dental floss, bathroom tissue made from recycled paper, lotions, and even food products. Shipping is free on orders over $50. And all CVS' private labels are guaranteed. If you're not happy with an item, take it back to a store for a refund, even if you purchased it online.
Too bad this sale isn't available in the stores. Usually, the store sale on private labels is "buy one, get one at half-off" which is really only a 25 percent savings. Through Saturday, the store is not discounting its own brands but that may change Sunday.
These prices beat even Drugstore.com, which offers some good deals.
Who else is a fan or CVS or Walgreens store brands?

She sat down with host Ann Curry and revealed that a tumor was discovered when she had a mammogram as part of her ongoing IVF treatment.
"Through my attempt to get pregnant through IVF, we sadly found out that I have early stages of breast cancer," she said. "It's been a shock."
However, Rancic said that the prognosis is good. She will undergo surgery this week and then have six weeks of radiation therapy.
Rancic was undergoing her third round of IVF after suffering a miscarriage, and she says she still plans to try to get pregnant. "I still want this baby ... because this baby has saved my life. I truly feel God was looking out after me ... If I had gotten pregnant later down the line, I could have been a lot sicker."
The 'Fashion Police' host, who is 36, has recently been working for National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and she says she had been waiting until she was 40 to have a mammogram. Luckily her doctor steered her toward it now as part of her preparation for IVF treatment.
Rancic says she will get throught this with the support of her "unbelievable" husband, Bill. "The best thing about Bill is, he lets me cry when I want to cry."
Their quest to have a child has been chronicled in their E! reality show 'Giuliana & Bill,' and Rancic has spoken of how they would be open to adopting a child if fertility treatments don't work out.
Last month NBC chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell announced on-air that she also has breast cancer. Like Rancic, Mitchell's breast cancer was detected by a routine mammogram and she urged viewers to go for testing.
"For you women out there and for the men who love you, screening matters. Do it. This disease can be completely curable if you find it, at the right time."

The results sort of reminded me of Bridget Jones' blue string soup... It was not a bad soup but I have to admit I'm not keen on thin soup - I'm more of a hearty-so-thick-the-spoon-can-stand-on its-own kind of gal.
Comments & Substitutions:
1. I was too lazy to separate leaves and stalks so I cooked the cilantro whole in the water - which after processing turned the liquid into a very bright green...
2. I didn't removed the crust from the bread - I like the crust!
3. Use good olive oil
- 25g fresh coriander, leaves and stalks separated
- 1.5l of broth or water
- 5-6 garlic cloves
- 6 eggs
- 275g day old bread, most of the crust removed and torn into bite-size pieces
- salt and pepper
- 90ml olive oil
1. Boil cilantro stalks in water or broth. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes then process in blender and strain.
2.Crush garlic with 1tsp of salt, add a cup of the hot broth then return to the pan.
3. Meanwhile poach eggs in a pan of simmering water for 3-4 minutes until set. Remove and reserve on warm plate.
4. Bring soup back to the boil, adjust seasoning, add cilantro leaves and remove from heat.
5. Place bread in six soup bowls, drizzle olive oil. Ladle the soup and stir. Add the poached eggs and serve immediately.

Human trafficking or modern day slavery is easy to say but very difficult to identify.
That's why tonight the city of Houston is "Shining a Light On Human Trafficking." The goal of this initiative is to
help identify and hopefully recluse victims but in order to do that you need to know what to look for, where to look,
and what to ask. "We ask that you help by bringing these victims out of the shadows" says Mayor Annise Parker
who started this initiative about a year ago.
Human Trafficking even victims she says could be in your community and tonight is the first step in battling the
issue by arming the public with information.
Maria Trujillo the director of the human trafficking task force that was created by Mayor Parker explain who there are three
steps towards joining the fight , number one is to "be informed."
"Two is to ask questions to identify them, ask questions like can you leave your job? do you owe a debt? do you have threats
against you or your family?? and three is to report to the appropriate authorities" Trujillo says.
Human Trafficking is a 32 billion dollar industry and like Sheriff Adrian Garcia says, someone is profiting at the cost of human
lives, some of them children, woman even men.
And that's why Matilda Rosas, a nanny who doesn't speak much English says, she wanted to share her story.
Rosas says, domestic workers often live in fear, some of them are abused not just physically but they'll go months
of working without pay.
That's another form of modern day slavery and many of the victims won't even know it because they're too young to understand.
"Statistically this means that at least 150 thousand children are lured in prostitution each year they find themselves many
of them to Houston" says Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. But Fox26 has learned, there's really no telling how many
young victims are living here right now. Many of them either end of aging out of the system, never come forward or continue
living the lifestyle but for those who never had a chance to make it out of the trade, a candle was lit for them too
as part of shining a light on human trafficking.
