Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
A protein involved in bone formation and calcification has provided new insights into the development of smoking-related cardiovascular disease and may represent a new biomarker for assessing the harmful effects of tobacco smoke. The protein, osteoponin, is a noncollagenous bone matrix protein produced by macrophages and endothelial cells, and has already been implicated in inflammation, tissue remodelling, and cardiovascular disease via its activity as a soluble cytokine.
Researchers at British American Tobacco (BAT), and R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company have now found that human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) markedly upregulate expression, production, and secretion of osteoponin in response to exposure to the nontoxic levels of particulate matter from cigarette smoke. This production of osteoponin was likely linked to oxidative stress, as treating the cells with the antioxidant ascorbate reduced levels of the protein.
Soluble osteoponin interacts with cell surface integrins to regulate cell adhesion and migration, and can be differentially cleaved by thrombin and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), and in particular MMP-3, to generate fragments with different functional attributes. Interestingly, report BAT's Ian M Fearon, Ph.D., and colleagues, MMP-3 was also upregulated in response to the tobacco smoke exposure, but unlike upregulation of osteoponin, increased MMP-3 expression wasn't itself directly due to oxidative stress. Nevertheless, Western blotting studies confirmed that the enzyme acted to cleave full-length osteoponin into its active fragment. "Oxidative stress therefore may be differentially involved in the production of functionally-dissimilar osteopontin fragments, and functional changes in osteopontin effects can be mediated by cigarette smoke acting on distinct and nonoxidative stress-dependent parts of the pathway," the researchers write in their published paper in BMC Cardiovascular Disorders.
Finally, to assess the link between smoking, oxidative stress, inflammation, and osteopontin expression, the team measured serum levels of the protein in healthy regular smokers both before and after they refrained from smoking for five days. The results confirmed that cessation from smoking rapidly led to reduced levels of both osteoponin and the inflammatory marker IL-6.
The researchers say as far as they know their results provide the first direct report of increased osteoponin production by endothelial cells in response to smoke exposure. "Furthermore, our studies highlight a potential role for MMP cleavage in regulating the levels of cleaved forms of osteopontin, which have different functional attributes," they state. "While further studies are needed to examine the longer-term effects of smoking cessation on both biomarkers of oxidative stress/inflammation and on the levels of osteopontin in serum, this study indicates that osteopontin can be a potential short-term biomarker of inflammation/oxidative stress."

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

My security officer came to me yesterday, and said the CEO had clicked a "viruses detected, click yes to scan" popup, after which of course his laptop was crawling with viruses. So the SO wants to distribute directions on how to keep people from making the same mistake.
He asked me: "If I say, 'just close popups, don't click anything in it,' is that good enough?" I plan to talk to him about popup blockers and explaining to users about the social engineering aspect of what they see, but I'm interested in how to answer his question.
Specifically because I know a malicious coder could put an onunload() or unbeforeunload() event catcher in the popup code, so if they close the window, (I assume) the same code that runs when you click "Yes, please make a mess of my computer" can be run when you click the close box. But on the other hand if that's true, if a hacker had you open a popup window that is entirely under their control, why bother needing you to click a button in the first place? Why not just have attack code run in the popup?

The Martyrdom of Troy Davis. It's Not Over!
By brotherjesse on October 11, 2011 at 5:45 PM
I will admit I took this execution pretty hard. I went through anger, depression, sadness and was literally sick to my stomach. I didn't even feel like writing or blogging about it because my head and heart was aching. I fought through it to meet my news story deadlines but this is my first full blog about it since that dreadful night a few weeks ago. Troy Davis' body was laid to rest, but he's celebrated as a martyr. The fight continues. …

Execution date set for Troy Davis. Too Much Doubt…
By brotherjesse on September 14, 2011 at 11:03 AM
This is very disheartening. No, this is sickening. America's injustice….ahem, justice system has run its course. For the fourth time, the clock is ticking on the life of Georgia death row inmate Troy Anthony Davis. A Chatham County judge recently signed his death warrant and the Georgia Department of Corrections has set his execution by lethal ejection for the evening of Sept. 21. Yes, in only a few days! …

Tools to succeed: Decreasing divorce by strengthening marriages
In comparison, only $600 million in federal funds were used to bolster healthy marriage initiatives — just 0.06 percent.
"This is one area where we could actually prevent problems, rather than just trying to help them out when the problems arise," Hawkins says. "At some point you have to try and build fences at the top of the hill, rather than buy more ambulances at the bottom of the hill."
Hawkins has studied various marriage education programs across the country and is encouraged by what he says are small, but positive, and encouraging results.
In the "Building Strong Families" review site in Oklahoma, couples who received the program were 20 percent more likely to be together after three years than those who didn't.
In Hamilton County, Baumgardner said they already know of eight men who took their prison fathering class and have been released, landed a job and are active in their kids' lives.
On a global scale, these changes may seem small, but they matter dramatically in the lives of these people's children, and they save the state and federal governemnts thousands of dollars in avoided problems.
"This is a pay me now or pay me later kind of thing," Baumgardner says. "If we are all about the next generation and the future of our children, if we do not do something on the prevention side, we are going to be in some very serious trouble."
Bill Coffin is quick to agree. A former special assistant for marriage education in the federal Administration for Children and Families for nine years, he knows the national impact of fragmented families, yet he's encouraged by the preliminary reviews of marriage and relationship education programs, which he hopes continue to grow.
"(Sometimes) I feel guilty because there are couples starting off who are going to have problems, some of whom are going to end up divorced, separated, in therapy. And they could say, 'If some folks knew what … healthy relationships were all about, why didn't they tell us?'"
Some people may not speak up because they worry that by promoting strong marriages and two-parent families, they — as a divorced person — will seem hypocritical. Yet, Gersten says these individuals may actually be able to better drive home the severity of the issue.
"We have to find a vehicle where a divorced congressman or divorced governor can say, 'I'm for protecting children," he said. "This legislation (or class) is significant and maybe if this had been around when I got divorced, maybe it could have saved my marriage."
But it still doesn't make the discussion easy, says Carrie Gordon Earll, Senior Director of Issue Analysis for CitizenLink, the policy arm of Focus on the Family.
While everyone recognizes the pain of broken families and fatherless homes, everyone also knows someone who's been divorced and they don't want to offend or hurt feelings.
"One of the hurdles will be to get people to see when you're talking about divorce reform, we are not talking about preventing people who are in really bad, dangerous marriages from still being able to protect themselves," she continued. "What we're talking about is raising the bar so that couples know their marriage is worth fighting for."

Not to mention downright falsification of lab results in two recent prominent papers proporting to demonstrate omnipotency in differentiated somatic tissue cells.
There would be no contention between the two lines of research were it not for the religiotards. Embryonic stems cells are promising but the need to clone to the host is a huge hurdle. Pluripotent somatic cells don't require host-cloning but they are only limitedly pluripotent at best. The one line of research complements the other, for everyone who's not a religiotard.
Okay so adult stem cells suck at stuff as probably all except idiots know by now but the ones found in the umbilical cord are pretty much as good as embryonic ones. And the dude mentioned those too in his speech.
I understood like 2 sentences of what kinaidos said. Chill dude, we're not all Biology majors here.
Also we really don't need to be inventing new words to insult people. C'mon you're better than that, right?
If you had actually read the scientific papers the articles were based on, you'd see the actual yields are more like one or two proto-stem cells for millions of skin cells.
Time to face reality, children - and I do call neocons children, since they act like it - and fund science fully.
@3. I'm working on a future column about umbilical cord stem cells.
The short of it: They are little different than adult blood stem cells. Great if you have leukemia or aplastic anemia, but not close to being as "good" as embryonic stem cells.
Well, of course your citation of Chuck Murray and the quoted block indicate data from the 90's and early part of this decade. Whereas many of the promising adult stem cell results are more recent in the past year or two. I fail to see where the 'gotcha' is on George Voinovich's quote, other than standard R-bashing. There's some selective representation going on here.
From Chuck's own paper you link, he mentions what is one of the greatest problems for ESCs, namely:
As appealing as this approach might be, subsequent studies, including our own, have shown that this method leads to the formation of teratomas (a tumor type composed of cells derived from all three embryonic germ layers) (80 and 81). Teratomas are arguably the greatest risk associated with ESC-based therapy. In fact, recent studies have shown that the formation of teratomas can counteract the benefit provided by the intended cellular therapy (82 and 83).
I think it is more responsible to approach these complicated issues in an even-handed and methodical way. I know this is slog, and you're probably contractually required to throw some red meat out there, but adult stem cells do not 'suck' for everything as another poster said. Similarly, ESCs are not the cure-all panacea that politicians would have you believe.
But the point is, the only possible reason for objecting to the use of embryonic stem cells is religiotardation. Opposition to embryonic stem cell research should be a criteria for not being allowed to discuss it. The grownups have work to do. It's like creationism.
just got the call -- they want to start a stem cell transplant on me, next month.
i haven't researched the current state of my disease or my diagnosis, percentages of this or that, and the scheduler actually called before the doctor called so i didn't even know we were going to be at that stage. i am not up on whether this stem cell stuff actually relates to the discussion in this thread. but i now know this:
this republican b.s. hurts real people.
maybe someone you know.

How can I execute a program on a remote machine using powershell?
The cool new way to do this is with WinRM. I've seen this demo'd on Windows Server 2008 R2, although there is a download with powershell v2 & WinRM for other windows operating systems.
The not so cool (or new) way to do this is to use psexec, which isn't powershell, but I'm sure there's some way to invoke it via powershell-esque syntax.
You could also use WMI and remotely start a process. It won't be interactive and you'll have to trust that it will end on its own. This doesn't require anything on the remote computer other than open ports for WMI.
Sample usage:
Here's the psexec/powershell link.
Interesting enough I used this to run notepad on a remote computer and it didn't appear. I checked the Task manager and the process ID that the call returned was indeed there!
Windows stated that this was a security concept and the process would run hidden/ or in the background!
This code helped me execute a bat file remotely, hopefully this helps someone in the future. You'll need to replace the creds and ComputerName vars at the top of this script.
RE: Nick's answer
Yes, PowerShell v2 (with WinRM 2.0) is bundled with Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7. A downlevel version should be available soon for XP, Vista, 2003 and 2008.
You always have the option of using WMI also to run remote stuff, but it is must interact with the console, that won't be a viable method.

Galax is a beautiful location and we enjoyed visits to Chestnut School of the Arts and a local winery as well as visiting downtown. Restaurants were of the "all you can eat" variety rather than fine dining. Hampton was probably the newest and finest motel and was well appointed although rather expensive for the area!

Maryland first time home buyer grants can help you move in today! Continue reading to learn about grants for home buying in Maryland.
Interested in owning a home in Maryland? The project of finding and closing on a house anywhere in the country is an awesome endeavor!
You want to know your credit score and determine if you need credit repair before proceeding. Unfortunately, without a credit score of at least 580, you will not be able to qualify for those low down payment programs like the FHA 203b loan that works so well with the various grant programs out there. You want to be able to qualify for these programs and with a higher credit score, you'll qualify for a better interest rate as well.
If you think you are ready, be sure to get a mortgage that works with the various grants or programs for home buying out there.
Awesome, exciting and yet sometimes daunting buying a home can be! However, don't let
yourself become paralyzed with the project. I've designed this site to
give you some useful information about Maryland grants.
I bet you would love to receive a money house by qualifying for one of the home buying grants available.
To begin with, the State of Maryland doesn't offer a Maryland first time home buyer grant program for its residents. But it does offer a deferred loan program. The state agency which maintains this grant program is the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development.
It is called the Downpayment and Settlement Expense Loan Program (DSELP). As I mentioned above, it is a loan. This loan is for some of the down payment and closing costs and is repayable when you payoff or refinance the house. So its not a grant, but a deferred loan.
There are restrictions and requirements to qualify so be sure to do your homework before you apply.
However, the good news is that the federal government does offer grant assistance for first time home buyers in Maryland. This program is maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development and is called the Homes and Communities program.
Their website contains useful information and applications. The website for the grant program maintained by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development can be visited by using this link, HUD Grant Information.
Another website I would recommend that you view is Government Grants. This website offers a list of all federal government grant programs. It would be a good idea to take some time and browse through this site to see what it offers and the qualifications for application.
It is important to note that there are several local first time home buyer grant programs available from specific private organizations in Maryland.
Every state is different, but most of them get funding for their programs early in the year. Thus you need to apply early otherwise the monies may run out for the year your applying or you may have to wait and reapply the next year.
While you are in the process of waiting for your approval, why not start saving a little money each week. If you don't receive a grant, you may have enough for a program that has a low down payment requirement. But if the grant does come in, then you have monies for other things. That would be a win-win situation for you.
Any program usually has specific lenders who will work with them. That means you will have to find just such a lender.
If you need help estimating your mortgage closing costs, check out this FREE closing costs calculator by clicking here.
Thank you for visiting our website for first time home buyers. Below you'll find more information to help you with grants for housing.
Click here for additional information on Maryland First Time Home Buyer Grants.
This link will take you to the HUD website and you will see a map of the USA. Click on your state and then you'll find a list of the local counseling agencies in your own area.
Please tell others about this FREE information. Everybody else on the web charges for this kind of stuff!!

Happy House Hunting!!

Benign Neglect: Exploring the Urban Landscape
There are plenty of examples out there of art that explores utopian and dystopian futures—futures in which things continue to grow and blossom, whether the results are good or bad. But what about art that explores things that won't grow, pockets of city life that will fade, crumble, and become empty over time—and doesn't necessarily see that as a bad thing? That is the premise of "Benign Neglect," a show that features work by emerging and established artists. Though the exhibit is about the aging of neighborhoods and businesses, it is not about spaces getting dumpy or being wasted. Rather, it explores the beauty in abandoned spaces and urban areas, as well as the natural ebb and flow of people and society and the areas they inhabit. Artists include painter David Holmes, landscape architect Jennifer Kotting, and sculptor Matthew J. Olson, who draws inspiration from his past work in the construction industry. The opening reception should be a good time filled with people, and will feature live music by Cities of the Plain and Tiger Gash from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday, July 18. (photo by Mark Murrmann)

Garcia's short Phillies career could be over early
Updated: June 12, 2007, 10:01 PM ETESPN.com news services
Getting Freddy Garcia looked like a steal, but now the Phillies might be left empty-handed.
The injured right-hander will see renowned surgeon Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Ala., on Wednesday for a second opinion on his ailing shoulder. An MRI exam on Monday showed fraying in Garcia's rotator cuff and a problem in the labrum.
The 31-year-old Garcia said surgery is a "last resort," and he hasn't ruled out returning to the mound this season.

Portage on Scott Seekins, recording in an attic, and impromptu lyrics
Photo by James Cook
Witness the evolution of a young band. Duluth transplants, Portage, bring to Minneapolis a string of harmonies that bring to mind the guts of rock music which are culled from the disheveled corners of generations past. The group is set to release their sophomore album Landings, with songs that segue into needle-like hooks, sharp guitar riffs, and even sharper lyrics.
Gimme Noise spoke with the band before the album release to get their take on the Minneapolis music scene and the work that went into the new record.
Adam Rosenthal (drums),
Dave Mehling (keys, guitar), Jason Hildebrandt (bass),
Trent Waterman (vocals, guitar) The band is originally from Duluth.
What brought you down to the Cities? Dave Mehling: Trampled By Turtles.
Jason Hildebrandt: Have you ever seen Homeward Bound?
What's the difference in the music scene up north compared to the Minneapolis music scene?
Jason Hildebrandt: The entirety of Duluth's music scene looks a lot like Minneapolis', just compressed. There's a lot of overlap of people in different types of music. The community is very cozy and welcoming. Growing up, there were a lot of group efforts to get shows together at community centers, basements, or garages.
Dave Mehling: In Duluth it seems a little more tight-knit and there is a real feeling of togetherness. A lot of that exists down here too, but in more diverse and separate circles.
I hear a lot of classic '70s rock in the music. Do you hear the same thing? Where did you draw inspiration when writing? Adam Rosenthal: Being from the Midwest, I think '70s rock is an unavoidable influence, but it's certainly not a sound we were intentionally referencing. Jason Hildebrandt: It's a big old nasty combination of everything we listen to getting filtered through us and put back together.
Dave Mehling: We all draw influences from different places -- I think a lot of our arrangements come from a need to entertain ourselves (i.e. play something interesting). Your first album was recorded in an attic. Why was this? What have you learned about recording since the first album? Trent Waterman: When we recorded the first album, we had just graduated from college and didn't have any money to go into an actual studio. So we went in the complete opposite direction and used this really live-sounding attic in a beautiful house our friends Rich and Emily own in Duluth. The space itself became a vital instrument on that record. Adam Rosenthal: In a professional studio, you have to be focused and prepared to make the most of it. This time around we came into it with a full set and a pretty good idea of what we wanted it to sound like. Dave Mehling: It was still done live -- just with more people and better equipment. Having a dedicated and passionate engineer like Ben Durrant helped us feel comfortable and saved time due to his technical wizardry. Jason Hildebrandt: I had nothing to do with the last album, but the main thing that's different from previous recording sessions I've done is having Ben and his toy box at our disposal. "You want to play through this head that I got from the core of Mt.Fuji 15 years ago? Cool."Besides the recording, how else has the music evolved since the first album?Trent Waterman:
As far as the songwriting goes, melody and mood bigger priorities for me. For most of these songs that made it onLandings
, I didn't have set lyrics until the day we recorded them. I would make up lyrics on the spot every time we played a new song at a show, and eventually I found myself repeating some of the same lines at later shows if they stuck in my memory. For me, it was a good exercise in not getting too attached to one idea, and it was entertaining to never know what the song was going to be about.Dave Mehling:
We feel more comfortable arranging songs as a four-piece; our live shows have become more dynamic and the songs without a doubt goofier and a bit more abstract.
Jason Hildebrandt: It's a whole new world now. We've got a fantastic point of view, with really no one to tell us where to go. Sometimes they say we're only dreaming. It's been a thrilling chase to get this music together, a wondrous place when we get it. For you and me.
How did you meet Ben Durrant, and how did you come to work with him?
Jason Hildebrandt: Dave knows everyone.
Dave Mehling: Toby Thomas Churchill introduced him to me and the band loved all his recordings. He has a tremendously gifted ear, and is one of the most efficient engineers any of us have worked with. Any favorite tracks off the new album? Jason Hildebrandt: "Save You Now" and "Rainbow Bridge."
Dave Mehling: "Down to the Floor" was a blast, because I loved playing fuzz organ. It should be noted the original name was "Al Dente." Thank you. Trent Waterman: "Rainbow Bridge."
Adam Rosenthal: I really like the way "Truth Be Told" worked out. We experimented with these gated break-beat drums and the final mix surprised me in a really good way.
What can we expect to see at the album release show? Jason Hildebrandt: Good people with good attitudes playing good music for other good people. Dave Mehling: We'll be playing all the songs from the record and a few favorites from The Unsalted Sea. Trent Waterman: We're really excited to have our friend Chastity Brown supporting us for the release. There will also be unlimited free food and liquor for everyone who comes. And that might not even be true, but doesn't it excite you?
Portage will release Landings with Chastity Brown at Icehouse on Saturday, December 1, 2012.

Giuliani Wasn't Always Down on 'Cosmopolitan' Cities
Though Giuliani's mockery of Obama's 'cosmopolitan' background was absurd on its face, we bothered to go back and find a time when the word didn't seem like such a slur to him.
After Rudy Giuliani cartoonishly suggested that Wasilla, Alaska, wasn't "cosmopolitan" enough for Barack Obama, we did some digging into his archives. Despite the air quotes and funny voice he used when saying the word, there was a time when a city's "cosmopolitan" nature inspired him. From a 1995 address to the U.N.: "After several days of being confronted with New York City's diversity, any resident or visitor will conclude that our many differences are vastly outweighed by our similarities. That's why New York is not only the world's most diverse city, but also the world's most cosmopolitan and tolerant city."

I have been looking around this forum for help with my problem(s). But I haven't found anything that has worked for me yet, so I therefore start this topic. If this has been answered allready, please point me to where!
I'm running WP v.2.8.2. Everything (including auto updates / auto install plugins) was working smoothly before, but now I have these problems...
- Admin Dashboard (screenshot)
As you can see in the screenshot, all feeds and the incoming links doesn't work.
All of these are working on another blog I have that is running on WP 2.7.1!
- Add New Plugins (screenshot)
I can't auto install new plugins (or update current ones) anymore. I get this error when I search for plugins and when I click any of the links (featured / popular / newest etc...).
This doesn't work on my 2.7.1 blog either, but there it gives me "An Unexpected HTTP Error occured during the API request."
- Akismet (screenshot)
Akismet isn't working any longer.
- Scheduled Posts
Not working anymore, I get a "Missed Schedule" message when I try. This was working earlier!
- Auto Updating WordPress
This was working before, this is how I got to version 2.8.2. But now when I try to update my other blog it doesn't work.
Downloading update from http://wordpress.org/wordpress-2.8.2.zip
Download failed.
Installation Failed
I have tried to deactivate all of my plugins, changing the theme to default and manually re-install the 2.8.2. But nothing seems to work to fix my problems!
What can I do to fix these problems? I'm guessing that they are all related, and that it might be something with my host... But what should I ask them if thats the sollution?

Posted on 09/11/2013 2:40:26 PM PDT by nickcarraway
It's no joke, but a hoard of wild pigs has gone hog wild in suburban San Ramon.
Over the last few months as many as 20 of the nocturnal beasts (at least, that's how one neighbor remembers it) have ripped up grass and turned over gardens - all in the hot pursuit of grub. When homeowners in the Henry Ranch neighborhood have woken up, they've been shocked to find their manicured lawns all askew.
"It looks like a tornado has hopped from yard to yard," Carrie Spurlock said. "We've tried to deter them, but they keep coming back."
And it's not just Spurlock's lawn that has been wrecked.
A recent visit to the neighborhood by NBC Bay Area on Wednesday revealed a dozen or so front lawns looking like they had been professionally Rototilled -- and left a mess -- by the rotund mammals destroying property in a neighborhood where home prices start at more than half a million dollars.
Neighbors have been frustrated with trying to get rid of the pigs. They've used pesticides to kill insects, which the pigs like to dine on. They've installed motion-sensored lights hoping that would keep the animals away. They said they've called the Dept. of Fish and Game, but haven't gotten the runaround. And they've called a trapper, who initially set up cages, but has since taken them down.
All to no avail.
For now, neighbors are left to replant their grass and smooth out their bumpy lawns.
"We're very aggravated," Spurlock said. "They might even be a danger to people."
Root hog or die!
"What they need is a damn good whacking"
Shoot, gut, & grill 'em!
George Harrison?
"hoard" "horde"
Excellent proof reading there, nbc
Just one of the many reasons wild pigs are legal to hunt in CA, one pig per day is the limit, the season, I believe, is year round. I can't get out and walk like I used to so don't keep up with the hunting laws the way I used to, but I am sure hog season is year round. Used to be one a day one in possession but I believe you can have unlimited in possession now. They just keep multiplying, like our imported wild turkeys.
The wild pig population is growing in San Diego County. They do a lot of damage to native vegetation and native species. There should be unlimited hunting of them. I hear that it is not easy to shoot them.
Get a bow.
Pigs multiply rapidly, and you have to kill lots of them to keep their numbers in control.
Check out this white paper (top of page 3 has the stat I'm referencing): http://www.oregon.gov/OISC/docs/pdf/swine_ra.pdf
hoard horde
"Excellent proof reading there, nbc"
As well as this:
"They said they've called the Dept. of Fish and Game, but haven't gotten the runaround."
I'm not even going to say it.
Why don't you EAT them Carrie. Oh, that's right, you hate guns and hunters. Bad, very bad. Relocate them, or spay and neuter them (they've actually tried both).
I had a minor pig problem for a while. They were after acorns (which I don't mind them eating, but I don't want them tearing up the place). Eventually, I called Fish & Game and got a depredation permit. Then I built a trap (at a cost of nearly a grand). I was about to start baiting them with soured corn so that I could get the whole family in there when I tried something simpler and a bit more creative.
Pigs don't see very well. They tend to travel a scent by night. So I found their trail, cut down a tree, and spread the branches across the trail along its length.
The pigs came in, got their feet tangled up, got frustrated and confused, turned around, and went back whence they came.
"Neighbors have been frustrated with trying to get rid of the pigs. They've used pesticides to kill insects, which the pigs like to dine on. They've installed motion-sensored lights hoping that would keep the animals away. They said they've called the Dept. of Fish and Game, but haven't gotten the runaround. And they've called a trapper, who initially set up cages, but has since taken them down."
Oh, for cryin' out loud, just shoot them already and have the neighbors over for a pig pickin'!
Shotgun with slugs?
What kind of gun is the guy useing. It looks like the round goes through the pig and stirs up dust before the pig falls.
Big man, pig man
Ha ha, charade you are
You well-heeled big wheel
Ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Sayin' "keep on diggin'"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find
Down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry...
i dont think shotgun is legal to take wild hog in california. need to use rifle or handgun with calibre over .22.
or bow.
root hog or die
"Root hog, or die" is a common American catch-phrase dating from well before 1834. Coming from the early colonial practice of turning pigs loose in the woods to fend for themselves, the term is an idiomatic expression for self-reliance.
Professionally accredited journalists at work there, dontcha know.
Send them to the Gitmo kitchen.
Not that I'm any kind of expert, but if you watch the video I think you'll see that each shot consists of three or four projectiles. I'm guessing it's a shotgun with "ball" ammo.
The guy is a amazing shot though. There are other helicopter pig-hunt videos where the shooter takes seven or eight shots to hit pig. This guy rare needs more than two; he hits quite a few on his first shot.
.45-70 with 500 grain hard cast lead bullets. Goes clean through stem to stern
Or spitballs.
Or your bare hands.
California is just giving our porcine friends better odds...
how to get through journalism school...
slut walk?
Kill the pigs. Kill them with guns. Kill them indiscriminately. This is the only cure for wild pigs.
California fish and game regs regarding hunting wild pigs (excerpt)
b) Shotguns capable of holding not more than three shells firing single slugs may be used for the taking of deer, bear and wild pigs. In areas where the discharge of rifles or shotguns with slugs is prohibited by county ordinance, shotguns capable of holding not more than three shells firing size 0 or 00 buckshot may be used for the taking of deer only.
Shotguns are OK for hunting wild pig (with the usual qualifications) according to CA regs.
You are correct. My depredation permit said, "centerfire rifle." The video to which I was referring was probably not shot in California.
It is clearly a shotgun, but I wouldn't expect a clean kill with anything less than a slug. He is an amazing shot though.
I suspect that over the last few days, the fire has driven lots of wild life over the ridge into Danville and San Ramon.
You can use a shotgun in Cali to kill pigs, but only with slugs, not shot.
The turkeys now own the upper Clayton Valley, Pine canyon, Walnut Heights, and Round Hill.
Baby turkeys are running around everywhere.
Apparently, there are fossil indications in the LA Basin that there was once a "native" wild turkey in California, one that the Indians may have extirpated farther north.
I think that's a "horde" of pigs, not a "hoard." SOmebody get a dictionary, please!
I hope no one has been hoarding pigs. That's bound to create a scarcity of bacon.
The journalist that committed this should be dismissed, forthwith, and join the horde of out of work folk.
LOL, I know, right?
There's no one, nowhere, nowhen, more pathetic than California Liberals.
Nor more sociopathic.
Solution is 1 part night vision goggles mixed with 2 parts AR 15 with suppressor. Fire up the barbie. :-)
Actually, the proper collective noun is a "sounder of pigs."
Here's a cool site.
Well, there's a good supply up here now anyway.
On one client's property on the east slopes of Morgan Territory there are so many turkey nests under the big oaks that its hard to drive around there.
A great Thanksgiving dinner!
Maybe they'll eat the extra acorns. It would help.
No problem. But load up on slugs. No shot.
Now that looks like fun! I'd pay to go on a hunt like that.........
Turkey and pork at thanksgiving dinner?

Hi there,
my problem is that i use Advanced Custom Fields but Buttons of tinyMCE Editor in Wysija Newsletters disappear.
Wysija FAQ says the problem is that "Advanced Custom Fields plugin" do not use jquery the "right way".
You say: "Most of these issues are related to a plugin's javascript being loaded in every page. They should only be on the pages where they are needed."
But how to prevent?
Best Regards

Turkey grants visa on arrival for Schengen visa holders. I'm guessing this should be at all entry ports, including roads. Just wanted to confirm that if I'm travelling by bus with a valid Schengen visa, I'll be able to get the visa at the border checkpost.
Indian citizens are eligible for single entry e-Visa. You should apply for your e-Visa at least 24 hours before your departure.

Here's an interesting project i'm currently working on. It's called "1 Free Dollar". What happens is you put your name on the waiting list and each day someone is chosen to get a free dollar!

This is good and quick to make!! Made to freeze, I am going out of town for 2 weeks and DH will need lunches and dinners while I am gone. I had a small bowl for "quality control" before I froze it. Added shredded cheese and it was perfect. Made for Spring 2009 PAC.
