It might become the closest thing to a feral cat bill in the 2012 Legislature.
Coyotes could wind up with a price on their head, with one lawmaker looking to pay $50 for each pair of ears from animals that have been shot or trapped, a plan that could encourage hunters to kill more than 20,000 of the animals.
Sen. Ralph Okerlund says coyotes are jeopardizing Utah deer herds and doing extensive damage to sheep and cattle herds and is proposing raising the bounty.
"We've got a lot more coyotes than we've got livestock and wildlife now and we need to do something about that," the Monroe Republican said. "What we're hoping is this will encourage a lot more people to go out and hunt these animals."
There already is a smaller bounty program in place. Currently, hunters or trappers in certain counties that turn in a pair of coyote ears can be paid $20: $10 from the county, matched by $10 from the state.
But Okerlund said when gas and supplies are taken into account $20 isn't enough incentive to exterminate this member of the dog family. His SB245 seeks to raise the bounty, using the revenue from a $5 increase in fees for hunting licenses and additional funds from the state.
Last year, the House considered a bill that would allow feral cats and birds to be shot to try to control the nuisances. It created a stir among animal rights groups and a sideshow before it was abandoned.
Don Peay, president of the group Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, said the goal of the coyote control is to infuse $1 million into the program, which could remove 20,000 of the predators. Peay said sporting groups could give additional funds to control coyote populations.
"That's going to be local economic development, because it will send a lot of people out into remote parts of Utah, buying gas and hotels and lodging," Peay said. "Plus it will increase the deer herd and if the deer herd continues to decline, people aren't going to come here and buy hunting licenses."
But Gene Baierschmidt of the Humane Society of Utah said the bill could encourage indiscriminate killing, "annihilating all the coyotes" in one area that does nothing to help the deer populations. The group also opposes the use of traps and poison as inhumane.
"We think the whole idea of a bounty system is kind of abhorrent to us," Baierschmidt said. "It is very controversial and the question has to be asked is: Is it based on science or is it just based on guesswork?"
Peay said the Division of Wildlife Resources has spent $75 million restoring deer habitat, but studies have shown deer populations are stagnant or declining.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources also does coyote control and has spent $3.4 million over the past six years hiring trappers and aerial hunters to kill the predators, focusing efforts during the breeding season.
Okerlund said he decided to sponsor the bill after a constituent reported losing $30,000 worth of lambs to coyotes after he moved to a new lambing range.
"This program is really targeted more toward the livestock-men than the sportsmen," he said.
Sterling Brown of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation said the group supports the bill because coyote populations have increased and are claiming up to 15 percent of newborn lambs.
"Predators in general, coyotes being one of them, have taken a huge toll on the livestock community and wildlife community," he said. "Our wildlife services management says there are more coyotes out on the ranges over the years and there's been increased regulation from the federal government that restrict what ranchers can do to restrict or control them."
He said the government has restricted how ranchers can trap coyotes. Okerlund's bill would get more predator control resources on the ground.
Wolves as targets
Wolves, once listed as an endangered species, could be a target for hunters under a bill pending in the Utah Senate.
SB22, sponsored by Sen. Allen Christensen, R-Ogden, would allow the Division of Wildlife Resources to sell hunting licenses for wolves in the state, similar to the hunt for bears and cougars.
It is unclear whether there are any wolves in Utah and, if there are wolves, how many there are. There have been various sightings reported around the state.
"Technically, there are none," Christensen said. "But I've heard so many reports [that] there's a pack down here and there's a pack there and they're ripping things up."
But Christensen said he is getting pressure from sportsmen to go further
"A lot of people want to put it in the classification of coyotes so you can shoot it on sight, anytime, anywhere," Christensen said.
Don Peay, president of the Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife, said Utah is trying to get "ahead of the curve" when it comes to controlling wolf populations.
"The federal government has failed to keep its word on anything in the last 20 years on the wolf issue and the wolf advocates more importantly violated their agreements to keep it to 150 animals in each state," Peay said. "Until there's some honesty and integrity, we don't want any wolves."

Remove the child from the heat source.
Cool the affected area with cold water or cold compresses until pain is reduced or alleviated.
If a blister has formed, do not break it.
Protect the burn with a dry, sterile, gauze bandage or with a clean bed sheet or cloth.
If your child's clothing is stuck to the burned area, do not attempt to remove it. Instead, cut around the clothing leaving the burn intact.
Do not apply any ointments, oils, or sprays to the burned area unless prescribed by your doctor.
If your child has burns on the hand, foot, face, eyes, or groin, or burns that cover a large area, seek medical attention or dial 911 for emergency medical attention.

The title Castello & Co gives little away unless you know about obscure early 17th-century Venetian repertoire: as well as Dario Castello (c.1590–c.1658), the composers here are Frescobaldi, Bertoli, Marini, Scarani, Picchi, all writing in or around San Marco, Venice at a time of exciting musical transition, coinciding with Monteverdi and the birth of opera. The combination of instruments – mainly harpsichord, dulcian and high or low trombone, with violins and cornetts joining in for some works – may sound unpromising but proves varied and spirited. The international Caecilia-Consort, well known on the European circuit and regulars at the Utrecht early music festival, play with freshness, energy and precision.

Sheffield Wednesday's Jose Semedo says he's not moving from Hillsborough following the club's promotion back to the Championship.
The 27-year-old Portuguese was voted both players' player and Owls' fans player of the year in his first season with the club after being signed from Charlton last summer by previous manager Gary Megson.
Semedo said: "I still say to myself that I've made the right decision joining because if I didn't come here I would never know how big this club is or what it means to play for this club.
"To see Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship is the beginning of a good run for the club. It's the beginning of everything.
"I don't even think about leaving. Wednesday is my team, my club. I'm not interested in leaving."
Semedo, who has two more years left on his contract, has been an ever-present in League One this season.

I bought this in red and small (I'm a 10-12 with a 34D), and it looks super hot.
I couldn't put on any weight wearing it though, so if you're more 12 than 10, I'd recommend the size up.
Has a beautiful curve to it, gorgeous detailing, and luxurious material.
The matching string is sexy as well.
Can't fault this piece, it was worth the money.

Super sexy
Reviewed: April 7, 2014 by axa975, a Straight Going Steady Female
I have a few pieces like this, but this is definitely a favourite!
It feels smooth, not scratchy like some others, and being a bigger bust (34f in most), it's hard to find things that fit and still look sexy.
It was a bit small on the bust, but still a comfortable fit and well worth a buy!
- Pros
- The feel and colour make it super sexy!
- Cons
- Slightly small on the bust, but better than most!
- Bottom line
- A staple buy for a sexy underwear set!

Mills and Markets in Utah and Vicinity
Following is a list of Utah sawmills currently interested in buying logs from Utah landowners and some notes on their status. Utah sawmill update (UFN Spring 04).

They ship finished products all over the country, and are especially excited about the new six-inch interior paneling that they are making with the aspen; it is reported to be beautiful. (For more info see UFN Spring 2003, UFN winter 2002.)
Thompson Logging, Kamas, 435-640-3694. Buying pine and aspen. Thompson milled eight million board feet last year with 14 employees. They ship their finished products to California, Texas, Arizona, and other states. They make dunnage (used to protect goods from damage in shipping) with the aspen they buy.

They recently sent a portion of the mill to Pecos, New Mexico, where they purchased some burned timber. Currently, they are using logs from private property. They report that on average, a standing dead spruce in Utah will last 10 years, depending on many factors, and will still hold its value at the mill.
Carbon County Lumber, Wellington, 435-613-0500. Buying Douglas-fir, spruce, subalpine fir. Having recently reopened the log yard, they plan to begin sawing in early June. (For more info see UFN Fall 2002.)

Book Description:
"The seder service on Pesach is the oldest surviving ritual in the Western world, dating back some 3,300 years....Through the Haggadah more than a hundred generations of Jews have handed on their story to their children....Few texts have received more attention than the Haggadah. There are thousands of commentaries, and more are published each year. Anyone who contemplates adding to this number must ask not 'Why is this night different?' But 'Why is this edition different?' My answer is that I wrote this commentary because, amongst all the many I have read, I could not find one that explained in their full richness and scope the fundamental themes of the Pesach story: the Jewish concept of a free society, the role of memory in shaping Jewish identity, and the unique connection that exists in Judaism between spirituality and society, giving rise to what I have called elsewhere 'the politics of hope.' Nor could I find a Haggada that told me in detail about the role of Pesach in shaping Jewish identity through the millennia, or its influence on Western thought as a whole." -Jonathan Sacks This Haggadah is actually two books in one. At what would be the back of an English-language book is the Haggdah in large, beautiful Hebrew typography, with an English translation adapted and with a running commentary by Rabbi Sacks. The Hebrew text and accompanying English translation are carefully arranged so as to be easy to use at the seder table. As such, this book is an ideal companion for use at the Passover meal. At the other end of the book are Rabbi Sacks's Essays on Passover. The 21 short essays demonstrate the qualities that make Rabbi Sacks one of the world's foremost religious leaders: keen intelligence, acute moral sensitivity, and a wide-ranging historical and literary imagination. In passage after passage, Rabbi Sacks celebrates the magnificence and uniqueness of Judaism and shows how the Pesach story is not primarily about a distant past and an equally distant future but about the present and the values by which we should strive to live.

The damage from the natural gas pipeline explosion in Sissonville continues to cause problems.
The blast caused by a Columbia Gas pipeline failure on December 11, 2012, destroyed four homes and scorched parts of interstate 77.
Columbia gas representatives dropped off a $200,000 check on Monday to Kanawha County commissioners to help pay for the expenses incurred during the disaster.
While only four homes were destroyed, countless others were badly damaged by fire, smoke and debris.

Part Three Best Banking Service Change …
Part Three
Best Banking
That Guy in the White Wig? Every other day, it seems we're all making a
quick trip to the ATM to grab $300 to get us through the night. Then we head
out like a bunch of suckers with a wallet or purse full of $20s. Even worse–for
some reason known only to the banks–we're increasingly heading out
with wallets or purses full of $50s. Well, the banks are keeping a little secret
from you. Every one of those banks has tellers that sit inside those walls during
the daylight hours. And every one of those tellers is obligated to take a bank
customer's $300 and break it down into smaller bills. If that doesn't
seem like a big deal, then you're one of the many Manhattanites who long
ago began taking their rights for granted.
Rights, however,
come with responsibility. Keep in mind your own obligation as a good bank customer.
Flimflam men still walk our streets, and some banks have a policy to limit change-making
transactions. Your teller will be a lot more receptive if you show up with a
small note detailing how you want that $300 to be divided. Keep a token $100
in twenties. Go with another $100 in tens. This will keep the $5s flowing in
change from purchases. The $50 in fives from the bank will spend quicker than
you expect. Then indulge yourself with $50 in ones, and keep the unused ones
in your bedside bureau next to your gun. Grab a handful as you head out for
the day, and replenish when necessary.
The personal
benefits will be immediate. Aren't you sick of that bodega clerk staring
at your $20 and trying to figure how much he owes you for a purchase of $12.75
in magazines? Give him $13, and watch the transaction get narrowed down to a
mere five minutes. Your bartering clout will become vastly improved with the
ability to peel off a precise $17 at the vintage clothing store. Lend your friend
$5 you'll never see again instead of that $20 you'll never see again.
Oh, and fuck
the waiters of this fine city. How long have they kept you waiting for change
while your date is giving you a smoldering stare that offers your sex life a
precious 10-minute window of opportunity? Now leave the exact amount, while
enjoying the freedom to be very precise with your tip. Or, if you've already
had sex with your date, pay the bill in $20s and see if the bastard brings you
back the proper change for leaving a fair 20 percent tip. If he tries to get
cute, use your secret stash of cash to carefully count out an exact 10 percent.
What can he do about it? You're the one with the money.
Used Records
Housing Works Used Bookstore Cafe
126 Crosby St. (betw. Houston
& Prince Sts.)
& Scored. Housing Works Used Bookstore Cafe is one of our favorite used
book haunts. On rainy days, sit on the mezzanine level staring out the windows
at the rain falling on Crosby's cobblestones and it's easy to think
you're in your own private library. We'd gotten so used to escaping
into dusty volumes that we nearly missed the record bins. But once we saw them,
we obsessively combed through each disc until we ended up with a heavy, cumbersome
load of used vinyl: The Rolling Stones' Rolled Gold double-pack
vinyl, $5; J.R.R. Tolkein's The Hobbit, including a 12-page storybook,
$5; Talking Heads' Stop Making Sense, $3; Earl Klugh albums up the
wazoo; Blondie's Parallel Lines, one measly dollar; Klaatu, Earth
Wind & Fire, more Talking Heads, Nina Simone's Baltimore, the
soundtrack to Disney's Alice in Wonderland.
Nothing we
bought cost more than $5. We were sorry to be so greedy, when we had to carry
that beast of burden load uptown, but we got more records for our money than
we ever have. Most of the vinyl's in good condition, although some of the
jackets are a little roughed up. But that's not the point–we're
not talking fancy collectibles in polymer bags here, we're talking sheer
weight. For that, no place we've ever been to can possibly beat Housing
Works. You can almost feel good about being neurotically packratish when it
comes to vinyl: Housing Works donates all of its proceeds to programs for homeless
people with AIDS.
Girls' Surfer T-Shirts
Roxy Quicksilver
109 Spring St. (Mercer St.)
You're damn right we've got fat arms. And as much as we lift and curl
and flap our arms up and down in obsessive counterclockwise rotations, our fat
arms persist.
We dreaded
summer; dreaded the arrival of the shoulder-baring chick fashions we longed
to wear. So what a relief it was to find really cool, very comfortable t-shirts
that hide our faults and that happen to be cut in such a way as to flatter our
good parts (like, if we may say so ourselves, our shoulders). Roxy t-shirts
for girls are boxy. The hem falls right above the hip and the sleeves are cut
at an angle, shorter than regular t-shirts, so that your arms stay hidden. But–and
this is the best part–it won't look like you're hiding them.
Plus, they're designed to look a bit retro, with a little of that 60s-in-Huntington-Beach
groove. The best one's hot pink, with neon lettering.
We wore our
Roxy t-shirts everywhere this summer. Over swimwear at the beach; under Helmut
Lang pantsuits to boites; everywhere. Buy the whole lot and resist that
unfortunate tube-top-and-shrug combination, which looks like hell and is way
over, anyway.
Best Flowers
Pascal at Anne Bruno
115 W. Broadway
(betw. Duane & Reade Sts.)
A Bouquet
in Every Bathroom? Live a Little. With a Tintin haircut and sexy accent, Pascal
always produces the best floral arrangements downtown. Tell him French-style
or open and he'll provide. Needless to say, the flowers are always fresh,
and maybe because it's a new business the service is top-notch. Nothing
carnation or cheesy, everything in the finest of taste. And who wouldn't
like a guy named Pascal?
Best Camera
Supply Store
B&H Photo
420 9th Ave. (betw. 33rd
& 34th Sts.)
Gallery. Back when we were still overexposing Tri-X and making a mess in the
bathroom darkroom, it was more fun to shop for camera stuff than to suffer the
out-of-focus gray blobs that were the result of our early photography. And for
camera addicts here in the world's center of photo retailers you could
spend a whole day bouncing from little shops like Adorama to B&H to Cambridge
to Olden. While most of those camera stores are still crammed into overflowing
storefronts that can barely contain the stock, let alone the customers, B&H
has hugeified and moved into immense digs on the west side.
From the new
block-long store B&H peddles everything a shutterbug can use. It's
the likeliest place in the world to find the perfect tripod, weird infrared
films, funky large-format equipment and even old cut-film holders. B&H isn't
stuck in the dark ages, though: They've aggressively expanded their selections
of electronic imaging gear, and are an excellent source for video cameras, electronic
editing consoles and all the other space-age gadgets you'll need to record
all the oh-so-precious minutiae of your life. (We love our Epson Stylus photo
printer that B&H's resident digital image guru Phil Mistry sold us.)
An hospitable
warehouse is over there on 9th Ave., overflowing with stuff for both the finger-over-the-lens
amateur and the highest-end professional. Even if you don't own a camera,
go to the new store just to check out the Metropolis-like conveyor system
that delivers your purchases from sales counter to pickup area via overhead
Department in Macy's
151 W. 34th St. (B'way)
On. Oh, we hate Macy's most days. The crowds blow, the staff varies from
indifferent to incompetent and is often both. There was the time recently a
lady was standing behind a locked appliances counter. We asked if we could see
one of the appliances. No, she said. She was just standing there watching the
counter, she explained, and didn't have the key. Ooookaaaay, we said, who
does have the key? The woman who really works this counter, she said. And she
is…? we ventured. At lunch, she replied, quite calmly. Is there anybody else
who can help us? we asked. I really don't know, she admitted. We said,
Can we ask you something? If you don't have a key and you don't know
who does and there's nothing you can do for customers, why are you standing
here? She shrugged. Because they told me to, she said.
Macy's. Except, for some reason, the luggage department. Not like we've
bought tons of luggage, but when we have, over the years, we've kept coming
back to Macy's. The selection is very broad. There almost always seems
to be a damn good sale going. And the staff actually knows the products and
can help you comparison-shop and decide. Then they hustle into a back room and
hustle right back with the just-unpacked version of the piece you picked out.
They're somehow neater, more presentable and much more polite than most
Macy's drones.
What can we
say? Much as so many businesses in Manhattan try to beat this out of us, we
still like it when the salesperson is a clean, neat, courteous and informed
salesperson, not some ignorant dick who makes us want to shove the goods up
his or her ass. We're funny that way, you know?
Best East
Village CD Store
Mondo Kim's
6 St. Marks Pl. (betw. 2nd
& 3rd Aves.)
St. Marks
Still Rocks. Admit it–Other Music was cool at first, but now it's
just a pain in the ass. We, too, were impressed when the place opened across
from Tower, but now, squeezing into that cramped, always-crowded space, where
elitist atmosphere forever effuses from the store's tippy-top-high-end
speakers, we figure we'd just as soon support downtown's other
independent. The prices are mostly the same, the clerks are no less helpful,
the selection is wider (yeah, it's not quite as deep in German soundtrack
music or Japanese noise, but how many times do you need to flip through Other's
musical stamp collection until you're over it?), the elbow room is refreshing
and the "Used" sections are far more likely to house something worthwhile.
Kim's is the See Hear, the Porto Rico Importing, the Yaffa Cafe of music
retail. Other Music is the Bowery Bar.
Fly-Fishing Flies
355 Madison Ave. (45th St.)
Good Bastards and Fly
Bitches. Is there an outdoorsman's indulgence known to man that involves
more screwy crap than fly fishing? We're stumped. Hunting? Rifle, shells,
maybe some camo, maybe not. Dog. There you go: Hit the duckblind, beat the brush,
flush the quarry, don't shoot anybody. Skiing? Close, but not quite: skis,
poles, boots, duds–done. Okay, lift tickets. Attitude. Grog for the lodge
bimmies. But now we're pushing it, grasping. Golf? Sorry. It's a game,
not a sport.
on the other hand, compels its enthusiasts to participate in an orgy of gadget-buying
matched only by devotees of…hell, we don't know. Cakewriting? Spelunking?
Microsurgery? There are days when, trapped up by Grand Central and loath to
paw shirts at Paul Stuart or slip into Nat Sherman for an illicit cigarette
of exotic provenance, we choose to kill our time in idle fashion at Orvis. We
enter. The humid musk of waxed-cotton Barbour stormcoats accosts our decidedly
non-Anglophilic nostrils. To our left: a dishabille heap of corduroy
and tattersalls. To our right: a flight of stairs, bedecked with Labrador plush
toys and WASPy whatnots, ascending to the more serious sanction, the realm of
variable-flex rods, high-speed-retrieve reels, breathable waders, vests composed
almost entirely of velcro and pouches. Directly ahead: a strip of chalkboards
reporting the angling conditions on a variety of local rivers. We give the forest-green
"Battenkill" luggage a jiggle. We ponder the schlubby tweed jackets,
which appear to function less as garments and more as tasteful frameworks for
a dizzying array of concealed pockets. We tug on a Barbour, judge its damp heft–because
we've always wanted one and because CNN's Christiane Amanpour wore
one to assay the most recent cruise-missile fusillades in Baghdad, and she looked
gallant, Euro, prepared (Barbour should sign her to an endorsement contract).
But enough
dawdling. Time to gird ourselves for the business of scrutinizing the store's
upstairs merchandise, its raison d'etre. Orvis is a rinky-dink shop,
wedged here in the shadow of the monolithic former Pan Am Bldg., but Lord God!
What a bevy of wares they've crammed into this meager square footage! At
this juncture in our fly-casting self-education, the essentials are a tad off-putting–the
$600 rods and $400 reels–but we're game to study the relatively inexpensive
flies themselves, of which Orvis has thoughtfully provided hundreds, neatly
categorized in display cases accompanied by a dry-erase "What's Workin'"
white board that, we guess, is constantly updated according to local word of
mouth. The flies are an education in fanciful Yankee nomenclature, a poetic
taxonomy, a diverse catalog of etymological whimsy. Check it out. Among dry
flies there are the workaday "Mosquito" and "Black Gnat,"
but also the "Light Cahill Parachute," the "Blue Winged Olive
Thorax" and the regal-sounding "Comparadun Mahogany" (all $1.95).
Want a fish story? How about "Herter's Bastard Midge" for narrative
allure? Who was "Herter's Bastard"? Or was the midge itself a
"bastard," and if so, a bastard because the fish couldn't resist
a gulp? A good bastard, a bad bastard? There's a "Crippled Midge,"
too. Descriptive of an insect's plight? Or…possibly…something…else?
We're partial to the "Nymphs" category, primarily because it
contains this incongruous customer: the "Disco Midge."
Also in there
is the injuriously tagged "Bitch Creek," as well as the "Flashback
Scud," which puts us back in the mind of Christiane Amanpour. You want
drama? Dig the "Meg-A-Egg Sucking Leach," a $2.50 steelhead fly. Furthermore,
if you're inspired to try your own hand at this perverse escapade and hope
someday to name your own clever little windings of feather and thread, Orvis
has you covered. The "Premium Fly-Tying Kit" retails for $235 and
allegedly contains a least a few of the niftier tricks.
Street Vendor
Next Stop, Astor Place.
We only saw him once, sitting on the corner of 7th and 32nd, but we haven't
forgotten him.
It was lunchtime,
so 7th was packed–yet there he sat, oblivious to the crowds: a distinguished,
gray-haired Australian in a sharp gray suit, sitting on a cardboard box, another
cardboard box full of children's books open in front of him. There were
four other large boxes beside and behind him.
at these fabulous books, ladies and gentleman!" he shouted with an enthusiastic
authority. "This book here! Desmond the Dusty Dinosaur! As
beautiful a book as you've ever seen! Look on the back, and you'll
see that the original price is $14.95. Now that's very expensive, isn't
it? But we're not going to ask you to pay that!"
Then he opened
the book, and didn't start reading the book aloud so much as he simply
described the pictures on each page, while making up his own story.
at these beautiful pictures, ladies and gentlemen! Here's one of a dinosaur!
And he looks like he's having fun, I'll say! You don't find artwork
like that just anywhere–and we all know that the kids love the dinosaurs!
Go on to the next page and what happens? Well, our dinosaur friend looks like
he's about to get into trouble! There's a big spider there! It's
quite horrid–but I'm sure everything will turn out, don't you?
And your kids will love it!"
He went through
book after book like this, never once looking at the crowd, opening each book
as if he had never seen such a thing before, describing each one with almost
childlike amazement. We stood against the wall and watched him, waiting for
some kind of punch line.
After 20 minutes,
we got it. He'd describe each book–nice $15 and $20 children's
books these were, before putting it back in the box and grabbing another. When
he'd described every book in the box, he finally looked up and proclaimed,
"And this entire box, ladies and gentlemen–all these books–are
yours for a mere five dollars!"
Best Flyswatter
Philippe Starck's Karikter
19 Prince St. (betw.
Elizabeth & Mott Sts.)
Bug Spray.
Philippe Starck's $13 flyswatter is a deliciously perverse object. Both
a practical household tool–you could definitely slaughter flies with it–as
well as a cheeky esthetic treasure, with silly tripod legs and a cleverly etched
visage on the swatter's "face" (made visible by turning the flyswatter
at the correct angle), it possesses the necessary qualities–it's both
incongruous and inexpensive–that we demand in our tchotchkes. Buy one of
each color, arrange them prominently in your apartment and you've got an
"installation" worthy of P.S. 1 in Queens, where the things are displayed
in exactly this manner.
Karikter, a
newish decorative store in Little Italy, is one of the few locations that sells
high-end but low-priced goods from Alessi, that Italian manufacturer of architect-designed
toothbrushes and cheese graters. And Karikter also sells Little Prince watches,
Babar salt-and-pepper shakers and Tin Tin backpacks.
But stick with
the Flyswatter. For a mere $13, it brings a touch of postmodern whimsy to your
home. And God knows you could use it.
Best Tattoo
Josh at Rising Dragon
230 23rd St. (betw. 7th & 8th Aves.)
Ink-Stained Wretches.
We aren't sure how we chose Rising Dragon for our third, but first large,
full-color tattoo. The day we visited, a blond almost-hayseed type asked us
what we were looking for. Though first impressions are usually right, ours wasn't
with Josh, and within minutes of discussing placement and design, we were getting
pulled deeper into his diabolical plans. Our idea was relatively complex, but
we were too chickenshit to ask for the full forearm inkjob. Shit, we didn't
even know you had to tattoo at a certain size to get the right detail.
In hindsight
it seems obvious, but now Josh might half-smile and nod, barely acknowledging
our understanding. Holding our pale, uncolored arm, he traced imaginary borders
and talked color schemes and symmetry. His shading and special outlining technique
(the yellow line) are trademark Joshisms, as is his ability to spin brown, yellow
and orange pigments into gold. After 12 hours of pain, we've never looked
back. Every day at least one person comments on the excellent quality of our
tattoo and wants to know who did it. Josh is already bugging us about our next
piece, which we'll get soon. From Josh.
Cell Phone
Motorola StarTAC
Gimme Your Cell, I Gotta
Call Carmela. If you have to have a cell phone (were they really invented for
prisoners to use to call home?), why not have one that looks and feels 21st
century and not, like so many of the models, like a buttony Kirby cucumber?
The Motorola StarTAC is now digital and analog, and has that nice flip mouthpiece
so you're speaking at a real point, not just the ozone. It just feels good,
and unless you own a varied fleet of such phones and can compare them and thus
know better, it seems to work at least as well as others that are uglier.
Best Good
Idea Manhattan Travelers Take for Granted
Boston & DC Shuttles
Shuttle, Not Bugged.
Only when you consider their absence can you appreciate the cordiality of the
existence of the shuttles between New York and Washington, and New York and
Boston. Even the most disorganized or procrastinating individual is never more
than a half hour from a flight to either place, or back home. One good result
is that it has made going to DC from NY a small deal–always a good political
stance. Amtrak promises to deliver even faster service soon on its moderne train,
and the agreeable ease of flowing from center city to center city will enhance
still more the psychic pleasure of that mode of transport. However, because
it is often necessary to reserve on the Metroliner, its superior comfort will
have often to yield to the desperation of the dunce who's disorganized
and late.
And while we're
at it, another good idea Manhattan drivers take for granted: only paying tolls
one way on river crossings. A stroke of humane genius.

Tag Archives: Hemi Hip Replacement
Types of Hip Joint Replacement
Worn or damaged hip joints can be replaced with artificial parts during hip replacement surgery. This type of surgery is performed after traumatic hip fractures or long-term bone degeneration. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic arthritis of the hip joint can damage protective joint cartilage, which leads to hip bone degeneration and pain. Hip joint replacement relieves hip pain unresponsive to other treatment methods, and allows increased mobility and improved hip joint function.
Hip Anatomy
Your hip joint is located at the point where your thigh bone meets your pelvis. It is a ball-and-socket joint that allows backward, forward, sideways and rotating movement. The upper end of your thigh bone, or femur, forms a ball, which fits into a cup-like structure on your pelvic bone. It is one of your body's largest joints and should provide movement without friction or discomfort during daily activities. Painful hip joints can reduce your quality of life by limiting walking and bending activities. Hip joint replacement offers options of increased mobility and decreased pain.
Types of Hip Joint Implants
Many different types of implants have been created for use in hip joint replacement surgeries. Implants can be made of metal, ceramic or polyethylene. Polyethylene is a plastic. Your surgeon may decide to use metal, ceramic or polyethylene in both your thigh bone and your pelvis, or a combination of materials. The implants may be cemented to your bone or non-cemented, depending on the technique your surgeon prescribes. Implants can be long, short, smooth or rough. Whole implants will replace entire sections of bone, while partial implants replace only portions of bone or the surface of bone. Hip joint replacement is personalized to each individual.
Cemented Total Hip Replacement
Standard total hip joint replacement involves removing the top section of your thigh bone and the bone socket on your pelvis, which are then replaced with man-made implants. Both implants can be metal or a combination of metal and plastic or ceramic is used. Each implant is cemented to your bone using bone cement. Currently, cemented total hip joint replacement is used more often in older, less active individuals and those with weakened bones. The stability of cemented implants provides a shorter surgical recovery time than uncemented total hip joint replacement.
Uncemented Total Hip Replacement
Uncemented implants for total hip joint replacement are designed for bone ingrowth without the use of cement. Areas where these implants lie next to your bone have been mechanically or chemically treated to form a roughened or porous surface. This type of surfacing facilitates bone cell ingrowth, which provides implant stabilization For example, implants coated with titanium foam supplies a matrix for tissue adherence and cellular ingrowth. This type of hip joint replacement requires a prolonged recovery time to allow bone ingrowth and implant stabilization.
Hemi Hip Replacement
Hemi hip joint replacement surgery only replaces the top of your thigh bone, or femoral head, with a ball joint implant. No implant is placed into your pelvic bone. This type of surgery is often required after a person breaks their femoral head and has not damaged the pelvic bone socket. This implant sits within your natural pelvic socket.
Hip Resurfacing
Sometimes, hip joint replacement is performed using a hip resurfacing technique. In this technique the femoral head is resurfaced and capped with a metal implant. Also, the pelvic socket is replaced with a metal implant. A minimal loss of bone is the advantage of this system. Surgeons often use bone cement during hip resurfacing, although a few use uncemented implants. Combined with a conservative surgical approach technique, hip resurfacing may permit higher levels of post-surgical activity and a more normal gate.

text: How to be a feedback superstar 18 September 2014 Share: × Send to a friend Close Send Providing important feedback is about more than just giving your colleagues negative comments. Your feedback needs to be insightful and well-thought out or it may just fall on deaf ears. Here's how to make the most out of your words.Don't blab onIf you're giving feedback to someone, you should have knowledge about the subject, right? Right. Make sure you use that knowledge along with what you know about the company before you start telling everyone what should change. Every company has their own way of doing things and what worked for your previous company may not work for your current one. So get familiar with the company's systems and processes first before tleaping in - you don't want to be the colleague everyone avoids.Related articlesTips to help you mentor your employeesHow to make your boss love youHow to accelerate career growthTips for being respected at workHow to accept criticism at work and not take it too personallyPositive is better than negative Many people get this part wrong – feedback is best accepted when you give more positive than negative feedback. Telling people what they're doing wrong all the time is not going to earn you any brownie points with your peers. Make sure you give at least three positive things for every change you suggest. People will want to listen to you more this way.Talk and then do If you're worried about your ideas not being recognised as your own, it's a good idea to implement a few of them yourself rather than passing the task to others all the time.Make your boss look great Why is this important? Well, if your company encourages feedback and it has a positive vibe, it makes your boss look great. And if your boss looks great, he'll get promoted. Once your boss gets promoted there'll be an opening for the person who made him appear successful i.e. YOU! So go ahead and work your magic.Take feedback like a pro As much as you'd like to be the only one with feedback power, you probably aren't. Others will give you feedback as well, which is why you need to learn how to accept feedback graciously. Listen to their comments and ask questions; you never know what you might learn from them.Not everyone will listen, deal with it Unless you're the boss or his wife, chances are that everyone won't always implement your comments. Don't blow up like a loose cannon about it; let them be. Do you always do what others suggest? Thought not.Lack of respect in your workplace getting you down? Perhaps it's time to change jobs.

It is a common misconception that all poor Kansans are eligible for Medicaid. In reality, only a few are actually eligible. To inform the discussion KHI has released a new issue brief (link) that examines in detail who is—and who is not—currently eligible for the combined Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) in Kansas.

The Affordable Care Act of 2010 aims to increase the number of people with health insurance by expanding both private and public coverage. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimates the law will reduce the number of uninsured Americans under age 65 by approximately 27 million by the year 2017. However, in Kansas, approximately 182,000 people fall into an eligibility gap, and 78,400 of them currently do not have health insurance. Nearly half of Kansans in the gap are also employed.

The WAO Group
by Tim Ajax, Director
Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary
Some people monkey around a little, some people monkey around a lot, and then there's Tim. He's a prince among primates, presiding over hundreds of fellow bipeds in the often-brutal Texas outdoors. There's no ape escape for Tim and his crew, but no matter. They love to help macaques, baboons and vervets live out their lives with as much freedom as possible. And like peeling a banana, Tim's blogs take you to the good stuff inside — with a steady supplement of Texas weather updates, of course!
WAO Monkey Rescue Enters its Final Stage (UPDATED)
Born Free USA Primate Sanctuary Director Tim Ajax continues to post on Facebook as the Wild Animal Orphanage rescue enters its final days.
Wednesday, Sept. 26: It's almost hard to believe but the very last of the primates from the Wild Animal Orphanage in San Antonio arrived here late this afternoon. Kaleb, a hamadryas baboon, and 17 long-tails made the final trip down and were introduced to their new homes under bright blue south Texas skies.
After all these months of hard work involving so many compassionate, dedicated people, it feels a little anti-climactic for this huge rescue to be concluded.
Thanks to Mary and Michelle Reininger, Dr. Valerie Kirk, Dr. Elizabeth Pannill, our supporters — and of course our great staff and interns here at the sanctuary. One hundred seven monkeys and Kaleb the baboon have a new lease on life and an opportunity to live their lives as free as possible and safe from future exploitation.
Also, huge thanks to the great crew at Texas Purple Sage Services who worked so long and hard to build the great enclosures these monkeys now call home!
Frick and Frack, two older male long-tailed macaques who are fast buddies, were the last two primates to be unloaded. Frick immediately ventured out into the large enclosure while Frack hung back, suspicious of the new and open environment. Frick is pictured exploring new sights, sounds and textures for the first time.
Here's hoping everyone gets a well-deserved good night's sleep tonight!
Wednesday, Sept. 26: We released the rhesus macaques into their main enclosure this morning and they were quick to explore everything. We were a little anxious for a baby who was conceived before the males were sterilized and who had been temporarily abandoned by her natural mother. WAO caretakers Mary and Michelle Reininger worked hard to care for her and were successful at integrating the baby back into the troop. Our concern was that she might get separated or abandoned again due to the stress of the move, but we needn't have worried as males and females alike took turns scooping her up and making sure she was safe.
Tuesday, Sept. 25: Another long but rewarding day as we welcomed 19 rhesus macaques from WAO. Looks like they'll setttle in nicely but definitely not as laid-back as the stump-tails. The picture here is of Finnegan, a 31-year-old male rhesus who still likes to think he's boss. He casually strolled around the new enclosure and then climbed right up a mesquite tree like he had been doing it every day for years. Welcome home, rhesus monkeys!!!
Monday, Sept. 24: What a day! The remaining stump-tails (23 of them!) arrived in good shape late this afternoon and seemed excited (and definitely hungry) when they were let out into their temporary quarters. The staff and veterinarians assisting at WAO worked hard and had a long day but did a great job making sure all of the monkeys were well cared for and safe. Tomorrow the stumpers will be let out into their main enclosure and the rhesus macaques will be joining us. Wednesday it's the remaining long-tails and Kaleb, the baboon. We're almost there!
Sunday, Sept. 23: Everyone here at the sanctuary has been working overtime to make sure everything is ready for the next wave of monkey arrivals from WAO. Here's a time lapse video [find it on the sanctuary's Facebook page] of a "spider" (primate play structure) in the making. It may look easy but it's actually a lot of hard work — and totally worth it for the monkeys!
Thursday, Sept. 20: Staff member Raychel Steines puts nail to wood as we hurry to finish up the climbing structures in time for the final groups of WAO monkeys who will be arriving this coming Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. By next Thursday all 107 monkeys and the lone baboon will be in their new homes, ready to start a great new chapter in their lives!

I'm so tired of hearing girls complain about liking a guy
and they're all "omg why doesn't he ask me out already"
Like seriously, if you want him so bad
it's not illegal to ask him out yourself.
Get over yourself, you're not a princess.
Not all guys will just come to you.
and guess what happens if he says no?

A fast acting poison that leaves little trace or is too obscure to test for?
For the murder in my plot, I need a fast acting poison (under a day, best case, or over that but doesn't have any largely noticeable symptoms) that doesn't leave much of a trace on a body and is too obscure to identify or doesn't leave much of a chemical trace post-mortem. If anyone knows anything that would be great or if something like that doesn't exist and I should make up a new poison. Thanks.
The toxins in a destroying angel would work, and also could be written off as an accidental death as opposed to a murder (if that's what you're writing about).
I would probably go with arsenic. Arsenic is difficult to detect, but because arsenic grows in hair, the amount of arsenic at the scalp and most recently grown hair would have more arsenic than the tip of the victim's hair. If you use arsenic, then then the murderer could cut off the victims' hair so that the arsenic levels can't be compared, although I'm not sure if that goes with your plot.
Here are some other top poisons used to murder: http://listverse.com/2012/12/02/10-poisons-used-to-kill-people/
How fast are you looking for? I have the book "Deadly Doses: a writer's guide to poisons" and there are quite a few listed, along with timeframes and possible reactions along with other notes. I've found this a very useful book to have for writing things like poisonings
So, are you looking for something that works instantly, in minutes, in a couple hours, or takes most of a day?
Arsenic would require a dose of 5-50 mg/kg to be deadly. It generally is found in things like rat poison or such in a white powder form, but can also be inhaled as a dust or gas rather than being ingested. It causes severe gastric distress, vomiting, diarrhea with blood, etc. convulsions and coma come shortly before death and death is usually caused by circulatory failure. Symptoms begin in as little as one half hour and death may occur in as short as a few hours or may take up to 24 hours. Arsenic can be detected in autopsy specimen, even those that are quite old, so it would be possible to go back later and determine it as the cause of death (if you needed that plot twist).
Another good choice would be curare (a plant) or hemlock (another plant). The entire curare plant is toxic and will kill in as little quantity as less than 5 mg/kg. it is almost immediate in its effects and causes paralysis of muscles, starting with the eyelids and face, then moving to the diaphragm and then paralysis of the lungs. It is typical administered as an injection or IV. Labs give diagnosis of enflammed liver. Hemlock plants are just as poisonous (less than 5 mg/kg is lethal), and all parts of the plant are deadly. There are accounts of people accidentally ingesting the leaves in a salad. It has the added benefit of being common in the United States and can be found on the wayside in nature. It too paralyzes the muscles and causes quite a bit of pain in the muscles as you die. Sight is often lost, but the mind remains clear until death, which comes from paralysis of the lungs. The first symptoms start within a half an hour, but death takes several hours (but less than a day).
There's a few ideas, and the book has tons more. I just went for a couple quick ones that might be easy to find without special shopping or licenses or raising any flags. In fact, most of the plants listed would probably work well. Let me know if you have any questions. I just summarized the data from the sections in the book
Potassium chloride is good for stopping a heart without being easy to test for (or so my physiology professor says), but I'm not sure how fast it works.
Depending on when your story is set, you can always inject air into someone's veins (or, better yet, their already established IV line!). It can cause a fatal air embolism which kills fairly immediately, and it won't show up on a tox screen. If it happens to someone with an IV or to someone who injects drugs (or is made to appear to do so), it would probably be ruled as an accident if the ME recognized it as an air embolism.

Colombia Orders Mixed Fleet of Hermes 450 and 900 UAVs
Israel's Elbit Systems announced a multimillion-dollar contract to supply its Hermes 450 and 900 unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to a "Latin American customer." The buyer was identified in press reports as Colombia.
Elbit said the contract includes universal ground control stations and payloads from its Elbit Systems Electro-Optics (Elop) division and communications intelligence (Comint), multimode radar and other sensors from its Elisra division. Deliveries will be made over the next two years.
Elbit describes the Hermes 450 tactical UAS as the "backbone" of the Israel Defense Forces, with additional service in other militaries. The aircraft has an mtow of 1,212 pounds (550 kg), maximum payload of 396 pounds (180 kg), range of 186 miles (300 km) and 17-hour endurance. The larger Hermes 900 has an mtow of 2,204 pounds (1,180 kg), 772-pound (350 kg) payload capacity and 36 hours endurance, the company said.
Colombia was identified as the buyer of the mixed fleet by Flightglobal Unmanned Daily News, citing sources in the Israeli defense establishment. The Colombian embassy in Washington, D.C., did not respond to AIN's query seeking confirmation of the transaction.
In recent years, Elbit has been increasing its footprint in Latin America, winning electronics content on platforms such as the Brazilian KC-390 military airlifter. In June last year the company announced the first export sale of the Hermes 900 to a Latin American country identified by independent sources as Chile. The company has also sold the Hermes 450 to Brazil and Mexico. Its joint venture with Embraer Defense, Harpia Sistemas, is focused on unmanned aircraft systems.
