Bill Cosby's favorite word during a recent hour-long phone interview was "spice." For him, this is an overarching term for manufactured drama jimmied up by reality shows, politicians and sportscasters yelling at each other on TV, and going "blue," as comics like to call it.
As fans who have heard his classic comedy albums, seen him live or watched his seminal TV shows, Cosby does not partake in "spice," nor does he keep up with the Kardashians or any particular "Real Housewife."
In other words, the content of his two stand-up shows scheduled for the Ferst Center For the Arts at Georgia Tech Oct. 23 will be definitively anti-Kathy Griffin.
"In a reality show," Cosby mused, "the only reality is these people are not actors. Somewhere there's a producer saying to somebody, 'Listen, can you just slap her? Just say whatever you want to say. We need spice! We need to raise the viewers' dopamine level! Keep people angry and keep them watching?"
As a sports fan, he still watches ESPN. ("How did the Falcons blow that 14-0 lead?" he asked.) And he cited his favorite network as Link TV, which focuses on global perspectives on news, events and culture and is available on Dish and DirecTV. "It does wonderful, emotional programs," he said. "They are people of great integrity. It's not manipulated. It's about human beings and it's global. It's not reality people. It's real people."
Cosby, now 74, has never been a man to shy away from telling the truth as he sees it, whether it's about education, crime or hip-hop music. He'd make a fine replacement for Andy Rooney on "60 Minutes."
The stand-up comic said he dabbled with the cursing devil at the Hilton in Las Vegas in the 1970s. Richard Pryor, who was as blue as it comes, was in his heyday and Cosby felt pressure to "spice" it up with a few choice four-letter words at his eight o'clock show. "I ran off maybe eight of them," Cosby said. "I didn't enjoy it."
Barron Hilton, the Hilton magnate, met with Cosby afterwards. Hilton had received a note from a nun. In a city packed with burlesque and nudity, she and her group of nuns had paid to see Cosby because they trusted he would keep it clean. She wrote that they became "very sad" when they heard him curse and left the show early. "We are going to pray for you," Cosby said they wrote. "We will revisit another time and hope you can make us smile and laugh."
A chastened Cosby never cursed on stage again. Not that he's a nun himself. He doesn't deny cursing in private. "If I'm joking with friends of mine, yes, we'll tell dirty jokes to each other," he said. "But not with the grandchildren sitting around."
Cosby stays busy doing comedy shows almost every weekend. And that means plenty of time in hotels, which led to an interesting hobby: he collects robes.
Recently, he was at a hotel he won't name. He liked the robes and purchased two from the manager. He got on a plane to leave town but bad weather forced him to return to that same hotel for an extra night. The night manager met with Cosby and spied the two robes.
"Nobody told him I had purchased them," Cosby said. "He looks at the robes. He looks at me. I started laughing. I knew what he was thinking and I said it. 'A millionaire stole two robes! America's father is a robe thief!' I told him to call the day manager to confirm that yes, Mr. Cosby paid for the robes. Guess what? They gave me my money back! "
Cosby may not be a robe thief but he is back writing books again. His first comedy tome in nearly a decade called "I Didn't Ask To Be Born (But I'm Glad I Was)" comes out Nov. 1. Per his style, he keeps the vocabulary simple, along the lines of Mark Twain and John Steinbeck.
"I'm telling you, this book is funny," Cosby said. "You can read it and hear my voice. When I write, I have time to describe things in a way I can't do on stage. And I got George Booth {a famous New Yorker cartoonist) to illustrate it. They're like the drawings in Lewis Carroll's 'Alice in Wonderland.' They're funny."

RH, you should have asked him his opinion on the Occupy This and That. He has always stood up and said take personal responsibility for your self and your actions. Don't rely on others to do it for you. I'm sure he'd tell the protesters to put down the signs, go home, take a bath, cut your hair and be a fine upstanding citizen, go to work or if you don't have a job, go find one…even if its a couple part-time jobs until the right one comes along.

@ weena———— Was it proven or are you just stupid and narrow minded? There are just too many negative people in this world always saying and repeating awful messages. Too many people coming forward after 30 -40 years about something that was supposed to have happened between them and someone who is now rich and famous. I wonder why!

Accusations are always made against people of any celebrity status. While some may be true, most are not. It is the nature of the beast. Just because he paid someone, anyone, doesn't mean it is an admission of guilt. I have been forced to pay debts I do not owe.

There's Something About Mary Beth
- Thursday, February 20, 2003
Today, after 18 years of marriage, the Chapmans still flirt like a pair of love-struck teenagers. They hold hands, they hug, they kiss in public and, over lunch, they have the whole table in stitches as they tease each other.
Mary Beth says laughingly that the new record, All About Love (Sparrow), is really "all about her." Steven tries to explain the mystery of romance expressed in the album, the contradiction of love in the midst of conflict.
"There's a fine print to these songs," he says. "I try to make it sound very eloquent. When you hear the words, 'I will be here when you need to speak your mind,' the fine print was, 'When the plate comes flying across the room, and I'm ducking just in time for it to smash into the wall and fortunately not into me, I will do my best to learn to listen.' Or, 'When you feel like being quiet, even though it is absolutely killing me, I will learn, by the grace of God, to let you be quiet.'" He stops and takes a breath. "Even though that's a really hard thing for me."
To say that marriage is hard is a vast understatement. The process of learning to truly love one another can be overwhelmingly painful. For the Chapmans, it's been worth it. " This is a calling," Steven insists fiercely. "I get to love somebody at this level; I get to hurt that deeply. If we run to God with the pain and run to Him with the suffering, we can watch Him be strong in us. We cannot let that pain define us but shape us, shape our souls and our hearts. And the shaping always enlarges our capacity to love."
Steven brings it back again to the moments of broken desperation—moments that, like fire, have welded their hearts together. "So many of those places can look like death," he says. "It can be so painful. And they are a death of sorts. Unless those things happen, life can't spring up in its place. I'm so thankful that God has been committed to [us]." He grins as if he just figured out the secret to his and Mary Beth's 18 years of marriage. "When it's all said and done, it's all about God's commitment to us."

A thought on Cubs fans
We could follow a team with the best record in baseball and a damned-near 5-game lead on the second place team, and we'd still only be satisfied if the Cubs win 120 and beat every opponent by 10 runs ... until they trail in a World Series game by 1, at which point we'd say it's all over but the cryin'.
Cubs Fans: Keeping Ambian in Business since 1909
This is the very definition of a cubs fan
It is so frustrating how so many Cub fans prepare for another disappointment by assuming the worst. It is painful being a Cub fan, but I believe you have to believe in them when they are winning. Yes it hurts more when you fall for it time after time. 100 years of heartbreaks. But Chicagoans are tough. We can take it.
I resent this post
I can't help it. It's called self preservation.
But at least the Brewers lost tonight...to San Diego!

Tracy High's cheer team went through a big change this year when Millie Dahlgren took over as coach.
The cheerleaders, who represent their school at Bulldogs football and basketball games, took the new start as the cue to strive for bigger accomplishments. That drive culminated in a second place finish at the United Spirit Association Nationals on Sunday at Disneyland in Anaheim.
"It's really nice to know that this was the best finish ever since Tracy has been in competition," Dahlgren said.
The 33 girls on the school's varsity and junior varsity squads got their award, including a trophy for the school and medals for each of the girls, in the Super Varsity Show Cheer Novice Division. Tracy was up against 13 other teams of 21 or more cheerleaders.
Tracy's cheerleaders competed in regional competition at Washington High School in Fremont in November and at West High in Tracy in December to qualify for the Anaheim event.
Dahlgren said she credits former coach Jamie Ulloa, who helped the team fine-tune its routines in the weeks leading up to the event. Dahlgren added that the team was ready to take high honors this time.
"These girls worked so hard throughout the year," she said. "They carry themselves in the highest esteem and are very respectful of others. That really says a lot about the character of Tracy High School's cheerleaders."
The Anaheim event also had participants from West High, which sent its cheer and dance teams. They took 13th out of 25 teams that in the Open Medium Dance competition.

Does anyone remember if Ultimate Muscle was good or not? I remember it being super awesome when I was young but I really have no idea.

Questions for Curtis Pride, president of the Bahamas Track and Field Coaches Association
On Saturday, we sat down with Curtis Pride, newly elected president of The Bahamas Track and Field Coaches Association.
The association was founded in November of 1989 and some people think it has not lived up to its mandate. One thing that was noticed with the new president is his e-mail. It is firstname.lastname@example.com. The "serves" in the e-mail is a philosophy of life that the new president believes in. Here are the questions put to Pride and his answers. We failed to mention to him the performance incentives put in place some three years ago for coaches of junior athletes who win medals.
1. What has been your background in track and field as an athlete and a coach?
I was the first athlete from South Andros ever to make a junior national team, and win an international medal. I won the silver medal at CARIFTA then the gold medal at Junior CAC (Central American and Caribbean) in 1988, both in triple jump. As a full scholarship athlete for Morgan State University (MSU), I was a consistent medalist at the conference and regional level. I played a major role in helping Morgan win its first ever MEAC (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference) men's championship title. Thereafter, I spent two years training and competing with an elite club before making the transition fully into coaching.
Coaching is the main reason I never maximized my athletic potential. Even as an athlete I was coaching. I could not help it. I was always concerned with helping others succeed. My passion for this was so strong I would help my competitors beat me, in competition. When the head coach at MSU asked me to become an assistant coach I did not hesitate to give up my competitive goals.
I served as an assistant coach at MSU and head coach of Dunbar High School in Baltimore before returning home. After returning home, I spent a short time at St. John's College before reviving the Ambassadors Athletic Club. After a few successful years of coaching under Ambassadors which included the honor of being named to serve as a coach with three junior national teams, I left coaching. I returned two years ago after more than six years away from the sport. I am now coaching again with Ambassadors and developing an elite training program.
2. The coaches association was formed in 1999 and Rupert Gardiner was elected as the first president. It has had some challenges since its inception. What made you decide to seek the leadership?
I was asked by some of my colleagues who recognized the need for the association and was searching for a leader who could re-structure and re-brand the organization in the best interest of all coaches and further advancement of the sport. At first I said no because the politics of the sport had contributed heavily to the long break I took from the sport, and It did not seem to align with my personal goals. However, as I listened and watched, the desire to help others succeed re-emerged. Our sport and coaches are faced with many challenges. Many of my colleagues want the same things I am seeking. We want athletic coaching to be recognized and respected as a vocation and equal opportunity to all. I decided to lead because I want to be integral in shaping the future of sports coaching in The Bahamas.
3. What are your goals as president?
As you noted above, the association faced many challenges since its inception. When we (the current executive board) looked at the history and the current realities of the association, three negatives are obvious: There has being no real continuity in the business of the association; the association has never earned much respect among the stakeholders of our sport, and it always seemed to be a club for a small group of "elite coaches" - an exclusive club.
In my short two-year term as president, I will lead the way toward three main goals focused on securing the future of the association. Please note that these are not my goals - they are 'our' goals. They are: to restructure the association to support athletics coaching as a vocation; to rebrand the association into a professional organization and to develop a five-year strategic plan to ensure proactive governance, productivity and growth.
4. We have a few coaches concentrating on long-distance running and field events. What does your association plan to do to rectify this?
We have already decided that both are primary areas of focus, but we're still in the process of planning what to do. We plan to engage the coaches concerned, to hear their needs and ideas before finalizing our plans. We do know though that the plan will include better recruitment of athletes, more resources and good incentives for throwing and distance coaches.
5. Is there anything you are excited about?
I'm excited about eight-year-old Ashely whose natural running abilities amaze me, 11-year-old Christian who despite a great physical challenge is transforming into an awesome athlete, the passion of Kelsey and Maya for running, the intensity of Juliette in competition, Angel and Vernique's commitment to learning, Brian who seems poised to jump farther than I did as a junior, Andretti and Zhivago and Francis who believe in my ability to prepare them for the 2016 Olympics. I am excited about the opportunity to help each of them succeed. Their potential and performances excited me.
6. Who are the other members of your executive committee?
Rupert Gardiner, 1st vice president; Felix Seymour, 2nd vice president; Jason Edwards, secretary general; Shaun Miller, treasurer; Greg Cash, assistant secretary general; and Fritz Grant, David Ferguson and Wendell Collie, board members.
7. What are your views and the association's views in education and training of coaches?
Both are the same. Education is important but it does not only result from studying theory. Experience gained through application is equally important. Individual coaches must continually seek education, and training/learning should never stop. Our association must standardize a learning pathway for its members toward ensuring a standard level of competency and accountability at each level of coaching. However, it must do all it can to facilitate development and training so it is available and affordable to all.
8. Mandate of the association should be to be inclusive of coaches throughout the entire Bahamas - all of New Providence and the Family Islands. Are this executive's plans any different from the former executive's plans?
I am not able to speak about the former plans because I have not ever seen any, but here's a part of the new plan: The empowerment of Family Island coaches is a priority in our strategic plan that's being developed. We will be mainly focused on educating and equipping at least one coach in all of the major Family Islands. We will also help facilitate and support a coaches association in Grand Bahama. This is a part of the responsibility that is being appointed to Felix Seymour (from Grand Bahama) who was elected to our executive board as 2nd vice president. We expect him to play a vital role in engaging his colleagues in the vision of the association. We also plan on actively engaging the Family Island rep who has already been appointed but not yet announced publicly in making sure the voice of all island coaches are heard, and their needs met. We will ensure that we have island participation in all our initiatives.
9. Financing is so important to any organization. It is no different for the coaches association. Will your association embark on anything different from the past?
We understand that there is an adequate amount of funds available through a number of local and international organizations that we can access. The challenge is gaining these organizations' trust by demonstrating good operations inclusive of financial integrity. We intend to achieve this. In addition, there are a number of opportunities to earn income for the association through fundraising and some special athletic events we plan to promote and manage. We are starting with very little but we will work hard and smart, to ensure that there's money in our account to fund the association's future work.
10. Most coaches in my opinion wish to be members of the national teams. What is your view on this?
This is true because it has become the culture and remains the main award for a coach's performance. Making a national team makes a coach feel successful and special. Not making the team makes one feel the opposite. If we didn't provide different ways to measure their performances, recognize their achievements and reward coaches for their service, many would decline coaching teams. It's not so easy for coaches with corporate careers and family responsibilities to travel.
11. How do you see the coaches association working with the BAAA?
In collaboration to do the following: promote coaching in The Bahamas so as to improve the quality of performance and the level of participation in track and field; encourage the accreditation, training and testing of persons to become qualified coaches and arrange for the proper regulation of such activities; develop the coaching of track and field within clubs, schools and any other institutions; safeguard the professional integrity and image of the association and its members and represent the interests of coaching and coaches in the decision-making processes affecting the association.
Thank-you so much and good luck!o Pride was busy on Saturday coaching athletes of the Ambassadors Track Club during the Fritz Grant Invitational, organized by the club.
Track and field parents association significant to BAAA's success
There is a particular aspect of track and field in this country that makes, with continuity, a huge contribution to the national development of the sport of athletics.
I refer to The Bahamas Parents Association of Track and Field Athletes. This organization, headed by Harrison Petty, has been the bread-and-butter producer of track and field scholarships in the nation and has mightily assisted many athletes through sponsorships. Thus it has been vital to the success the Bahamas Association of Athletic Associations (BAAA) claims.
To make the point for readers, I wish to submit some names: Leevan Sands, Sheniqua Ferguson, Derrick Atkins, Aaron Cleare and Trevor Barry. Each of the above has attained World Championships or Olympic medals or both, or has been a top international finalist.
Sands got a lot of early support from the association. He went on to win bronze medals at two World Championships and the 2008 Beijing Olympics bronze medal as well.
Sheniqua Ferguson, like Sands, enjoyed meaningful sponsorship from the association. She is one of the rising female sprinters in the world and was a part of the 2009 World Championships Bahamian silver medal winning sprint relay squad.
Atkins is the fastest Bahamian ever and the only Bahamian sprinter to run sub-10 seconds. His national record is 9.91 and he has also registered a legal 9.98. Add to that a wind-aided 9.86 and a 9.83 and he stands head and shoulders above every other Bahamian sprinter in times recorded. He was a direct scholarship recipient through the parents association. So were Aaron Cleare and Trevor Barry.
Cleare was one of the quality quarter-milers who helped to establish the country's legacy in the 1,600 meters relay. He was on the Bahamian team that placed sixth in the 1,600 meters relay final at the Athens Olympic Games.
Barry is Mr. Consistent. For a long time, he competed in the shadows of fellow Bahamian Donald Thomas, the former World Champion, Commonwealth Games champion and Pan American Games champion. However, Barry's bronze medal at the 2011 World Championships cemented him as one of the top high jumpers in the world.
The aforementioned athletes head a long list of young Bahamian boys and girls who have been afforded scholarships to institutions in the United States by the parents association, and accordingly, opportunities to expand their horizons through education and sports.
In the general scheme of things, the National Sports Academy, proposed by Prime Minister Perry Christie, will succeed only if it finds a way to bring such successful programs into the fold. I suggest that a meaningful path should be found to include such progressive and independent entities into the overall National Sports Academy structure.

New Providence Contractors Association holds first general meeting
NASSAU, Bahamas -- Contractors, business owners and various industry leaders packed the Bahamas Public Services Union Hall on East Street South on Thursday, April 28th, to attend the first general meeting held by the New Providence Contractors Association.
The meeting kicked off at 7:30 pm with a rally cry and a call for unity within the construction industry. Leading this call was NPCA's founder Delroy Meadows who made it clear that the association was committed to fight for equal access and opportunity for all Bahamian contractors within the industry. He called for diverse representation for contractors throughout the Bahamas. "We intentionality called this organization the New Providence Contractors Association because I believe that each major island should form its own association to represent the needs of their island. We should then connect as one body with the purpose creating our own investments and ensuring fairness withing the industry."
Various industry concerns were addressed by the panel during the meeting that evening. One of the major concerns among many in attendance included a proposed Contractors Bill which is being presented before the Government by the Bahamas Contractors Association. Many who were in attendance during the meeting voiced their opposition to the Bill and the principles of the Bahamas Contractors Association who were responsible for drafting it.
The panel included Attorney Alex Morley who dissected the proposed Bill before the audience to give those in attendance a clear understanding of what the implications were for those working in the industry if the Bill were to pass in Parliament.
Concerns were expressed were the Bill referenced the appointment of a Board by officials of the Bahamas Contractors Association which would govern both an Acceptance and Disciplinary Committee. Many saw these as conflicts of interests as the Bill also calls for the formation of both committees by the same Board appointed by the BCA.
Watson elected as president of the Bahamas Diving Association
Dive legend Neal Watson, who recently joined forces with Guy Harvey as Director of Outpost Dive Operations, has been elected for a two-year term as president of the Bahamas Diving Association.
Brendal Stevens, owner of Brendal's Dive Center in Green Turtle Cay, The Bahamas, was elected as the vice president.
Watson has been a pioneer in the dive resort business, starting his first dive operation in Freeport, The Bahamas in 1965. He has been involved in owning and operating hotels, establishing a chain of dive operations, working in the treasure salvage business, stunt coordinator for the movie and TV industry, owned and operated an airline charter company and established a chain of Neal Watson's Undersea Adventure franchise dive operations in The Bahamas and the Caribbean.
In 1985, Watson moved to Fort Lauderdale from Bimini and established Neal Watson's Undersea Adventures as a Florida corporation. Shortly thereafter, he started USA Travel Network, Inc., which is an ARC accredited tour company specializing in diving and adventure sports travel.
Recently, Watson agreed to join the Guy Harvey Outpost system's Expedition Outfitters program as Director of Outpost Dive Operations to recruit top dive operators in Florida, The Bahamas and the Caribbean.
Watson, a past president of the Bahamas Diving Association, recently finished his third term on the Board of Directors of DEMA (Dive Equipment & Marketing Association), which is the World Trade Association for the diving industry; and is Chair of the Bahamas Dive Marketing Committee, which is responsible for recommending budget expenditures for The Bahamas' Ministry Tourism for the Bahamas Government Dive Market Promotions.
Personal achievements include breaking the World Scuba Depth Record, diving 437 feet on compressed air as well as breaking the World Underwater Distance Record by swimming 66 miles underwater, non-stop without surfacing.

NPSA's junior development league coming into full swing
Junior female softball players falling under the New Providence Softball Association's (NPSA) umbrella are expected to take full advantage of a five-week training program, that will swing into action this month.
The fundamental training sessions are apart of the NPSA's Junior Development Ladies Softball League. The re-introduction of the summer league is just one of the many programs NPSA President Godfrey Burnside will bring to fruition before his two-year period comes to an end. The summer league will run from June 24-July 28, with play being held at the Bankers Field, located at the Baillou Hills Sporting Complex.
"The NPSA has had an established junior softball camp that started in the late 1990s and came to an end around 2005, that's when the Churchill Tener Knowles stadium got demolished," said Burnside. "Even though this is the same program, designed to enhance or improve the skills of our junior female athletes, it is an upgrade to what we once had. I am glad that we are going to have this program again. It is much needed as we try to develop the skills and talents of our junior players, as well as try and qualify for more international tournaments."
Interested persons between the ages of eight and16 years are asked to meet at the park on Saturday June 24 for registration. The three days selected for training are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. A three-hour session will be held on Saturdays, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 12 noon. The scrimmage games will be played just before the first game of the 2013 NPSA regular season.
Burnside said: "There has been a deterioration in the level of play, especially when at the international level. There are some very skilled and talented young ladies in the league now, particularly in Grand Bahama and in New Providence. If we are able to work with these players, help to improve their skills and correct their forms at a very early age, the level of play will increase. What we are going to do, especially on Saturday mornings, is go through the basic skills, that are fielding, throwing, gloving, hitting and base running. There will be opportunities for them to play in real games, showcasing exactly what they have learned. Those games will be played before the women's match."
Burnside is hoping to have representation from a number of the junior and senior high school programs here in New Providence. He is currently in communication with the president of the Government Secondary Schools Sports Association (GSSSA) Alfred Forbes. A number of meetings have also been held, discussing the way forward for the program and the interaction of the physical education teachers.
The NPSA is also working closely with the Bahamas Baseball Federation (BBF) and the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology so that the sport of baseball can be added into the curriculum, as soon as this coming school year. The reconstruction of the Churchill Tener Knowles National Stadium is another one of the projects that is expected to get off the ground this year. By the time it is officially opened, Burnside is hoping to have a vibrant junior softball league which will be a feeder system to the night league.

Dive association: More regulation of foreign dive operations 'urgent'
The president of the Bahamas Diving Association (BDA) has pledged to work with the government to ensure stronger regulation of foreign dive boats operating in Bahamian waters, claiming that worldwide publicity surrounding the recent disappearance of a man on a shark dive poses a threat to the multimillion-dollar local industry.
Neal Watson said it would be an "understatement" to suggest that the BDA might be concerned about the industry's reputation following media reports which circulated globally about the disappearance of diver John Petty while on a shark dive with a U.S.-registered diving operation.
"For over 30 years The Bahamas has been safely putting tens of thousands of divers in the water with sharks," said Watson in an interview with Guardian Business.
"None of the media says this fatality occurred on a U.S.-based vessel operating out of Florida; it says a 'Scuba diver dies in The Bahamas'.
"These guys come, do things that create negative publicity and then pull up anchor and go home."
While it is not proven that the dive company did anything wrong, Watson suggested that, in trying to accommodate wildlife photography enthusiasts who are trying to capture "that 'gee-whiz' money shot", they conduct their shark dives in a manner that is not consistent with standards set out for members of the Bahamas Diving Association.
Petty, 63, was last seen last Sunday after entering the water during a tiger shark dive with Florida-based Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures.
Petty is believed to have been attacked by a shark; although his body has never been recovered, a dive mask that showed signs of such an attack was found. The incident is under investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard and the Bahamas government.
In the days following Petty's disappearance, some including veteran Bahamian diver David Rose have called for an end to shark dives, claiming they are inherently too dangerous.
Watson says that line of thinking has got the local industry worried.
"There's a lot of concern. If a hotel goes to government and says we have concern that our hotel guests won't go in the water due to shark attacks, there's a possibility government will be so concerned about interactive shark dives that they would say 'We don't want to do this anymore', and that would be an enormous economic catastrophe for The Bahamas. We've done this safely for 30 years, and it's generated tens of millions of dollars for the economy," said Watson.
In a statement forwarded by the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, Watson sought to highlight the fact that the dive operation that Petty was with is not affiliated with the Bahamas Diving Association in any way.
"Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures, nor the M/V Shear Water, is a Bahamian-owned or based business and is not a member of the Bahamas Diving Association," said Watson.
Speaking with Guardian Business, Watson said that the Bahamas Diving Association had some time ago called for a "cease and desist" of dives like that being conducted by Jim Abernethy, including non-cage dives conducted with "known species of potentially dangerous sharks".
In 2011, Abernethy himself was bitten during a dive operation in The Bahamas, while in 2008 another diver on an expedition led by Abernethy's company was killed by a shark bite.
Now, Watson said, more "urgency" has been brought to ongoing dialogue between the Bahamas Diving Association and the government over introducing more regulation of such activities by foreign dive operators.
He added that the situation is exacerbated by the fact that foreign "live aboard" dive boats bring much less into the local economy than their Bahamian counterparts, as they enter and leave the country without buying locally or paying much tax.
For example, the operations do not have to obtain work permits for foreign crew or duty on imported equipment. They often may not fuel their boats in The Bahamas. And their guests do not buy into the local economy via hotel stays, restaurant visits and car rentals.
"We think it should be a requirement that if a foreign commercial boat wants to run a business in The Bahamas, they should have to base in The Bahamas," the veteran diver said.
A message left seeking comment from Jim Abernethy's Scuba Adventures was not returned up to press time.

Super Sites for Substitutes LiveBinder
#elemchat #spedchat #substitutes
Sometimes substitutes may need an extra activity (or two, or three) to keep students engaged in learning. As we all know idle students are the most likely to cause behavior problems and these can easily spread throughout the class. Behavior problems are not only rough on the substitute but also on the students.
I have put together this binder with easy to use resources that students will enjoy.
Below are just a few of the sites included in the binder. I will continue to add sites as I find them. For most of the resources only 1 computer is required to print the activity, play audio or video etc.
If you have any suggestions for sites to add please share them with me. Thanks!

No Name Show: Rock Report!
Godsmack, 30 Seconds to Mars, Guns n Roses, and Marilyn Manson all on the… wait, Marilyn Manson… on the… Rock Report? Check it out if you missed it this morning!
Godsmack singer Sully Erna has come to the defense of Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, who has taken flak from artists like Slash and Kid Rock for his decision to become a judge on the new season of American Idol. Speaking on Detroit rock station WRIF last week, Erna said of Tyler's move, "I think it's brilliant. Beyond good. I think he's gonna be the male Paula Abdul, 'cause he's a little bit dingy, you know what I mean?! He's probably all pilled up, and he's gonna be funny. I mean, he's witty, he's really witty." As for Rock, who called Tyler's new gig "the stupidest thing he's ever done in his life,"
30 Seconds To Mars releases a deluxe edition of the band's latest album, This Is War, today. In addition to the original CD, the package contains an alternate take of the single "Hurricane," featuring a guest appearance from Kanye West, along with live cover versions of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" and West's "Stronger." A bonus DVD is also included, featuring the band's music videos for the songs "Kings & Queens" and "Closer To The Edge," plus other content. The group has announced that it will play a special New Year's Eve (December 31st) show at the Pearl Theater at the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas
Although it took more than a decade — 13 years, to be exact — for Guns N' Roses to release its Chinese Democracy album in 2008, the follow-up to that effort may come sooner than anyone thinks. Guns guitarist D.J. Ashba said in an interview at last week's launch party for the Call Of Duty: Black Ops. Rose himself hinted in an interview back in 2002 that he had enough songs to follow up Chinese Democracy in rapid succession, saying, "The plan is to drop the record. Have a bunch of extra tracks . . . about a year or so down the road, drop another record, and drop a third record. This is a three stage thing; we'll be touring for a real long time."
Marilyn Manson has signed with U.K.-based independent label Cooking Vinyl for the release of his next album. His next album, due out in fall 2011, and possibly another one after that. Cooking Vinyl does not have a U.S. distribution deal in place yet for the record, but expects to release it in 45 countries. Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, also has 849,000 Facebook followers.

Big Ballet … For Anybody That Ever Wanted to Pirouette
Big Ballet (working title) is a new documentary series being produced by Rare Day for Channel 4. It will bring together a troupe of ballet dancers who don't have conventional ballet dancer's bodies but have a passion to don ballet shoes, knuckle down to some intensive training and take part in a performance of their lifetime. Coaching them will be two inspirational teachers: a former prima ballerina and an ex-principal dancer of major ballet companies.
We want to challenge the idea that only super skinny & tiny dancers can perform classical ballet and prove that weight, size and shape really don't determine gracefulness and the ability to convey emotion through dance.
We're looking for men and women who feel that their dancing ambitions have been affected by their size and weight and want that second chance to take to the stage and show the world what deep down they always knew they could be.
Auditions are taking place over the weekend of 8th and 9th June 2013 (TBC). You do not need to have anything prepared, but will be taught a routine and then be asked to perform it back to our industry experts.
Chosen applicants will then train with our team over a period of 4/5 months. They will be asked to commit to at least two weekday evenings and part of a weekend day for training; all will take place at a location in central Leeds.
If you are interested, please get in touch ASAP with Jack on 07857 085990 or Scarlett on 07881 952290 or Anna on 07891 240754

The Post-Adoption Depression Phenomenon
All parents are vulnerable to the stress and strain of their new roles
Getting the Help You Need
Experiences like Mollie's and Dawn's may be more the rule than the exception, and make post-adoption support crucial. But where can parents turn to for help? In some cases, adoption professionals can be valuable sources of support. Michele Anderson, who is in the process of adopting a baby girl from China, says, "My social worker is awesome, really amazing. She is an adoptive mother, too, and she made it clear that if I ever need anything once our daughter comes home, that she would be there for us." Not all parents feel the same level of comfort with their adoption professionals as Michele does, however. After all, these are the very people who basically have been charged with judging a couple's suitability as parents for months or even years. Couples are reluctant to project an image of anything less than perfection out of fear of suddenly being perceived as unstable, or even ineligible to adopt a child.
Anne Landry, the director of operations at Alternatives in Motion, an adoption agency in Houston, encourages parents to dismiss that fear and reach out to their agency in times of need. In fact, in anticipation of the post-adoption needs of her clients, Alternatives in Motion offers services such as group counseling sessions, annual education seminars, family socials, and small pre-adoption support groups to facilitate the adoption process for their adoptive parents.
The National Adoption Center is another leader in post-adoption advocacy. Its website says, "While all families experience stress, families who have adopted often have additional issues for which they need help." To meet the needs of adoptive families, the center offers case management, crisis intervention, community and Internet-based education and support, in-home services for children, and parent support groups, among other services.
In addition to taking advantage of adoption agency programs, parents can share, provide, and receive support from their peers through a multitude of adoption websites that offer forums and discussion boards. Some churches and community centers also provide support groups where parents can befriend and share experiences with fellow adoptive parents.
In some cases, commiseration alone may not be enough to quell post-adoption depression. The good news is that parents need not—and should not—suffer alone. Depression is a serious disorder that deserves treatment. There's no shame in seeking the guidance of a professional specifically trained to help patients adjust to their new lives as parents. Working toward resolving depression is the greatest "welcome gift" adoptive parents can give their children.
During the post-adoption period there are sure to be difficult times sprinkled with happiness and happy times sprinkled with difficulties. Equipped with knowledge and support, adoptive parents are sure to triumph and enjoy the family they worked so hard to create.

Cheap, tatty, scuzzy… and that's just Sam Worthington's wardrobe in this 2005 Australian crim-com, which takes a bankrupt stab at the multi-strand approach.

Teacher Workshop
Technology in the Classroom:
Resources for Teaching Economics to the i Generation
The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
Wednesday, September 24, 2014
The Probasco Chair's Center for Economic Education, in cooperation with the Nashville branch of the Atlanta Federal Reserve Bank, will present a teacher workshop entitled "Technology in the Classroom: Resources for Teaching the i Generation" for economics teachers in grades 9-12. Today's students, often referred to as the i Generation, can be defined by their extensive use and mastery of the latest technology, especially mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones. Teachers can utilize their students' expertise to motivate their learning in the economics classroom.
The workshop will introduce participants to the latest technological resources for the economics classroom which they will be able to access in the workshop on their laptops or iPad tablets for actual demonstrations. The workshop will showcase a variety of resources, including Virtual Economics, Gen i Revolution, Gapminder, FRED, and Common Sense Economics, to aid teachers in presenting economic concepts to their students. The seminar will demonstrate how technologically-infused materials can be used to present economic concepts in an interactive manner and engage the i Generation.
Space is limited. Please click below for registration and details.

Modern Seacliff House by Chris Elliott ArchitectsAugust 30th, 2014 - Posted in Architecture
The Seacliff House was occupied by a single story suburban house and overlooked by a number of neighbouring houses. This modern house designed by Chris Elliott Architects situated in Sidney, Australia. A long concrete box sits atop a series of concrete columns that run from the basement up through the living level.
Description from Chris Elliott Architects:
"The ground floor is conceptually a transparent platform. Nature is welcomed in and not excluded. It is ordered by a series of columns and defined by solid walls only where necessary. Glass runs along, around and above the solid elements while large sliding and pivoting glass doors open to outside.
The basement level is conceived as a grotto combining water, rock and light. The solid sandstone foundation stone is carved away to create space. Rather than remove all material as is often done, in various places it is left to invade the space thus connecting in an intimate way the house to the very essence of Sydney – its sandstone base. Water occurs at various levels – a pool, a shallow reflecting pool with bridge and an outdoor bath. At times strong shafts of light penetrate the spaces, as through rock fissures in a cave. At other times when light levels are low strong colours help to create warmth and atmosphere.
The bedroom level, a long linear box is conceptually a protective cocoon, providing comfort and privacy with glimpses out through a variety of openings, with the option of one or two layers of curtains-the first opaque, and the second a translucent veil. On the outside the surface of the box is enlivened with series of curvilinear light scoops. These allow light in and offer selective views out, such as a view of the sky when lying in the bath.
At the roof level, conceived as a belvedere or lookout, a study opens onto a small deck. Here your journey ends with a panoramic outlook over the ocean. A private sundeck with built in timber seating and a fireplace provides a comfortable place to contemplate the ocean and the stars at night."

Rated 3 out of 5Â by Lala123 Super lightweight, great for hot days This top is featherweight, so it would be great for wicking sweat. I ended up not keeping it because I didn't like the color combo. For full price, it seemed a little expensive for what you're getting. I am 5'5", size 6, athletic build and medium fit just fine. 8/14/14

Customer Reviews
These Hogue grips were really comfortable on my S&W L-frame 357 magnum. Unfortunately, the magnum rounds that I had at the range recoiled less than my 38 special ammo, so I can't comment on recoil absorption at this time.
I have not received order yet.
The puny stock grip on my S&W .357 mag (model 19) was the only thing I didn't like about the gun. Well, that is now just distant memory. The Hogue grip installed quickly, fit perfectly and feels great, even in my extra-large hands. "Gun control" is now a positive topic when talking about this piece, and all for a low, low price. I'll include it in my carry-piece rotation now, because it's just mean.
Excellent item, very happy with.

I made two of these for a festival. One for me and one for my BFF. They're not great… They look home made but that's good. I Have a bit of an obsession picking up feathers from the floor and I put them in a vase on my window sill… Or in the glove box of my car… Or in my hand bags to be found weeks later all scuffed up. The majority of feathers that I had were pigeon feather. Predictable. So I bought a pair of Blue Jay wings from eBay for £6. When they arrived then stank! As they were decaying bone and all… I had to wear rubber gloves and pull the feathers off. My uncle is a taxidermist and I remember seeing his basement when I was a kid… Something out of a horror movie? Not really. I've not seen him for about twenty years but I still remember. During this process I pretended that I was him.

The zipper is snag-proof. That is half of why I got this, and it really is consistently smooth.
It is the perfect cross between a light backpacking mummy, and a rectangular bag. I like to be able to put pants on in my bag when its cold in the morning, something that is really difficult in a mummy bag. This has the right amount of space without being bulky. The temperature rating seems true, though I haven't tested it below freezing, I did wake up sweating (naked in bag) at 35 degrees at 11,000 ft. With a good liner it might be used as 4 season bag.
It compresses really well, and fluffs up well. The compression sack it comes with is actually too big, it could pack even smaller, but I can't complain seeing as most bags don't include a compression, laundry and storage bag.
So far so good
Member since
I bought it because I am going to be traveling through Europe and Asia for the next year. I'll be in the Alps during the beginning of winter, staying indoors and I'll be at the base of the Himalayas from January through May. I'll be sleeping indoors there too so I wont need anything crazy, but I've been told the place that I'm going in northern India doesn't have heaters, so... One of my main concerns was that it packed small, I don't want to lug a huge bed from Europe through Asia. It barely fits into a small sea to summit dry stuff sack which is a little smaller than 16"x11". I can get that to fit on the outside of my bag. The stuff sack that they give you is way too big I think. I'm going to use it to keep my pack organized. It really is shocking that I can fit this thing in the small stuff sack because while it is out on my bed it pretty much covers the whole twin bed like a down comforter. I'm staying in places with beds so I wanted to be able to unzip it and use it like a comforter, it does that perfectly. And when it is zipped up I don't even notice really because there is so much room inside. Granted I'm a pretty small guy, 18" shoulders, 16" waist, and 5'7" height so I get lost in the thing. The down is so fluffy I pretty much float on it when I first crawl in. It's like a bed all on its own, a bed that stuffs down to the size of a travel pillow. Now that's the kind of bed I want to travel with. The material that it is made of is sold. The zipper doesn't have any trouble zipping up, the rip-stop works great. I do get a little frustrated with the zipper while it's at the bottom after you completely unzip it and want to zip it back up again. It's hard to get the two sides of the teeth to line up. They do put a little piece to grab on to to help you out though. I still find it unduly challenging, maybe it's just me. I'll let you know how it fairs up when I take it around the world with me.
great quality!!

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I hate the restrictive feeling of a mummy bag and this is a perfect solution! I can tell you Sea to Summit is pure quality!!! It seems true to its temperature rating, and I have never gotten cold (slept comfortably when it was in the low twenties). Finally a zipper that doesn't snag!!! I feel like this bag will last me a long time and am super happy with it.
Pleased with the bag
Member since
The TK3 was my choice of semi-rectangular bags. I like to be able to move inside the bag and wanted the versatility of being able to zip the bag partially or completely open for ventilation. I've slept in temps plus or minus freezing this winter and stayed comfortable. As pointed out, the bag is well made and comes with useful accessory storage.
It would be perfect for me if it had slightly more room across the shoulders--it's a bit restrictive--and if it had some method of holding the lighter-insulated bottom of the bag to the pad -- a sleeve like my Big Agnes summer bag or attachment points for straps to hold the bag and pad together. If the bag turns with you, rather than you inside it, your back is 20% less insulated. There are hanging loops on one side for airing the bag, so I may try to sew some on the opposite side for strapping the bag and pad together. With slightly more shoulder room and a bag/pad system approach, the bag would be wonderful. Listening Sea to Summit folks?

Sea to Summit did it right!
Member since
Bought this for my wife to use backpacking and hut trekking: what a great choice! Right out of the box I could see the thought and care that went into this bag. The accompanying storage,stuff and wash bags are sturdy and well designed. The bag itself has a tough exterior and soft lining. It is roomy and closes down to hold in the heat. The zippers are snag-proof and sturdy...everything in this design seems to be meant for long-term, no-hassle use. Stuffing down the bag, it got to the size of a child's soccer ball: a little bulkier than I thought a bag of this size and rating should be, but not bad. This is a great purchase!
High quality bag
Member since
My wife bought me this bag for Fathers Day. I'm just back from a week backpacking, most of which was spent between 11 and 12K elevation. I don't know the low temps however there were hard frosts most mornings so it was below freezing, probably by several degrees. This back is designed for someone who turns inside the bag, not with the bag like in a true mummy. 60% of the down is on top so if you turn with the bag your back will get cold if it is a cold night. I never got cold. I was just wearing undies and a light polar tech top. I used to wear mid weight long johns in my old bag. I'm a cold sleeper. I went to the Sea to Summit web page to learn about their products. They use the EN temperature rating system and their comfort temp is 23F with 12F as the lower limit. If you are a cold sleeper you will probably get cold at 12F unless you had on some clothes in the bag. It is duck down. I did some research before buying and in general goose down is better, however good quality duck down is just fine and the best down is eider down which is duck down (this bag is not eider down though). Sea to Summit sends a down quality certification with the bag as well as a compression stuff sack (nice), a storage bag and a wash bag with instructions on it on how to wash the down bag. The zipper never snags and the bag lofts nicely when you unstuff it. I'm 5'11'' and had to get the long length. My shoulders were almost out of the bag on the reg length. The hood works well if you are just a back sleeper. I use the hood to enhance my pillow since I am a side and stomach sleeper. This is the best sleeping bag solution I've found for an active sleeper who does not like the confinement of a true mummy bag.

How Do Calf Milk Replacers Differ?
Whilst most calf milk powders look the same the quality of ingredients vary enormously. It is very difficult to distinguish between a quality product and a budget product made to a price. A wide range of ingredients can be used including skim, casein, buttermilk, whey, whey protein concentrate, soya and wheat, potato, pea protein concentrates together with a wide range of fats and oils.
The cheapest milk powders available are about half the price of the best quality products. The ticket declarations are of little help and all product have a similar appearance - a creamy white powder.
Whey and vegetable proteins are much cheaper but skim, casein and buttermilk based products are digested much more efficiently. This is due to there ability to form a clot in the abomasum. The pH around the clot is at very low pH allowing pepsin to diet the milk very efficiently over 12 - 14 hours. Different sources of skim, or whey can vary enormously in feed value depending on how they were produced and how much was protein was denatured during the drying process. Generally the higher the level of milk products in the milk powder the better.
The difficulty of distinguishing a quality calf milk powder from a budget product has meant that it has been much easier for manufacturers to sell products made to a price. Not surprisingly then most of the UK market is for whey and vegetable protein based products which contain no skim, casein or buttermilk.
Whey and vegetable protein products are generally lower in energy and are digested less well. This can result in faster uptake of dry feed. These low cost calf milk replacers do have a place.
However generally we see better growth rates with far fewer health problems when 'high quality' milk powders are used rather than calf powders made to a price.
Never skimp on the quality of calf milk powder for dairy heifers
The benefits of doing calve well should never be under estimated. An analysis on data from the Cornell herd of 1,244 heifers showed that every kg of average daily gain prior to weaning resulted in a milk yield increase of over 2,200 kg milk over 3 lactations. In addition 22% of the variation in first lactation milk production could be explained by growth rate prior to weaning. This demonstrates that it is never worth economising by using anything other than the best quality calf milk powder.
Most Cost Effective for Rearing Calves?
So which is the most cost effective route? Well it depends. It depends on the rearing system that you are using and on your expectations. Are you producing a replacement heifer, the future of your herd? Are you producing a beef calf that you want to top the market? Are you producing a beef animal destined for slaughter? Are you contracting rearing to a price?
Our view is that whilst the best products are twice the price of some budget products, you largely get what you pay for. Higher quality products can be fed at higher rates earlier without causing nutritional scour. Thus higher live weight gains can be achieved.
The better products give better results and can often be cheaper to use due to faster growth rates, lower mortality, lower vet bills, earlier weaning, lower powder usage per calf and higher lifetime yields.
I have seen dairy units producing bull calves to sell at a few weeks old, halve their powder and straw usage, halve their stocking rate, dramatically reduce labour costs, vet bills and mortality and improve there sale price simply by switching to a better milk powder.
Equally there is no question that dairy heifer replacement calves which get off to a good start are capable of producing higher lifetime milk yields and that replacement cost per litre can be reduced by doing calves better.
Feeding top quality milk replacer is often costs less overall
RWN Calf Milk Replacers
Richard Webster Nutrition supplies a range of calf milk powders selected from several different manufacturers. We have a clear preference for using high quality milk powders, not the cheapest but which give exceptional results and which are extremely cost effective.
Shine Calf Milk Range
Shine calf milk replacers have been extremely successful both in the UK and Ireland operating at the quality end of the market. Shine products are made with a wide range of milk ingredients including butter milk and skim milk powder. They also use whey protein concentrate (wpc), concentrated milk lactoserum and whey. All ingredients are carefully dried to ensure easy mixing, maximum protein digestibility and uniformity. Shine milk replacers also contain yogurt powder, polyclonal antibodies and inactive yeast as MOS and are acidified.

Shine Once a Day calf milk powder
This is the 'Rolls Royce' of calf milk replacers and does not contain any vegetable proteins. It can be fed twice a day if you prefer and will give supreme performance in all situations. Ideal for rearing replacement heifers or where better than average performance is required.
The pioneer of once a day feeding and with butter and skim milk powder, it can be fed with water or milk to reduce your work-load but not compromise the calf.
Once-a-Day feeding is a system which can deliver performance benefits over twice-a-day feeding for much less labour and less cost.
Feeding Once-a-Day is simple. 200gms of powder is made up to 1 litre with water or 60gms - 100gms of powder made up to 1 litre with cows milk. 3 litres can then be fed straight through to start of weaning at seven weeks and then reduced by half a litre per day to wean at 8 weeks.
There's plenty of research around that shows that calves can be fed successfully on once-a-day feeding systems. Once-a-Day feeding involves significantly less labour, uses less calf milk replacer and promotes earlier weaning, but to secure the cost savings from once-a-day systems.
Provided you use the right calf milk replacer formulation, once-a-day feeding will be more cost-effective for many UK calf rearers. Switching from a twice-a-day milk feeding system to once-a-day could save UK calf rearers around £6/calf and cut labour input to as little as 23 seconds/calf/day.
This milk powder has been shown to give live weight gains up to 12% higher than feeding twice daily whole milk, and can reduce your work load by up to 40%. It contains Skim + Butter oil and is designed for mixing with water or with whole milk for once a day feeding.
Once daily feeding is best suited to calf milk replacers based on skim milk powder. This is because skimmed milk forms a cheesy curd or clot in the calf's stomach that takes over 14 hours to be digested. This clot forms using casein protein produced in the cow's udder specifically for the calf.
Milk replacers that claim to contain milk, but make no reference to skim milk powder or buttermilk are unsuitable for once-a-day feeding from an early age because they contain no casein protein, do not form a slowly digested clot in the calf's stomach.
By incorporating vegetable oils, along with the natural milk emulsifiers found in buttermilk, rather than by pushing up fat levels fat digestion digestion is improved and dry feed intake is increased. Due to the extremely high quality and digestibility of this product calves can be started on 3 litres fed Once-a-Day at one to two weeks old. This would not be possible with lower quality replacers or with whole milk.
For Once a day feeding milk solids need to be at 20% making whole milk unsuitable for Once-a-Day feeding unless calf milk replacer is added to the whole milk to increase the solids content of the feed. In reality it makes no economic sense on most farms to feed whole milk to calves, but where necessary cows milk can be incorporated into the system using a combination of milk and replacer.
With the right milk replacer, a once-a-day feeding system works fantastically well for both the calf and the rearer. Apart from the obvious labour benefits, calves eat more dry feed and their rumens develop more quickly. This allows weaning to occur a week or two earlier, saving the farmer even more time, as well as cutting the amount of milk replacer used. Most importantly calves actually do better.

Kalvolac Calf Milk Replacers
For several years RWN supplied Kalvolac Unique which is the best calf powder that we have seen. Customers consistently reported that Kalvolac Unique produced increased growth rates and healthier calves than other calf milk replacers. Kalvolac Unique is no longer available in the UK. However we now have available a range of very high quality calf milk replacers from the same manufacturer.
As well as being of extremely high quality this range is very competitively priced.
Elite Calf Milk Replacer is formulated using skimmed milk powder to give calves a good bloom. Elite is particularly appropriate for calves being marketed between at 2 - 5 weeks of age. Elite is a superb product for use in both twice day bucket feeding systems and in computerised feeding systems.
Elite also produces excellent results on Once a Day feeding systems. Being skim based it has the ability to form a clot in the abomasum which is digested slowly and efficiently over 6 - 8 hours. This avoids the problems associated with most calf milk replacers which are based on whey powder or vegetable protein and which are generally much less effective when used in Once A Day systems.
Elite is an Excellent Alternative to Shine Once A Day at a Lower Price
Premium Plus Calf Milk Replacer is a very high quality whey based powder designed for optimum growth rates. Premium Plus can be fed to all classes of calves and is highly recommended for both bucket rearing and for automatic computerised feeding systems.
Independent trials have demonstrated higher growth rates to 12 weeks with significantly decreased costs than with skim based milk powders.
Advance Calf Milk Replacer is a specialist high fat continental style product which is designed to be mixed using a mechanical mixer. Advance is very high energy, very economical and very effective. We can supply stainless steel mechanical mixers on wheels which takes much of the work out of mixing milk powder and feeding calves. Advance offers much lower rearing costs than standard calf milk powders.
Gold Start Calf Milk Replacer is a very economical yet effective calf powder designed for bucket feeding to dairy heifers.
