Siamangs (SEE-uh-mangs) belong to the family Hylobatidae, which includes all 11 gibbon (or lesser ape) species. Siamangs are native to the island of Sumatra and the Malay Peninsula.
Tropical and montane forests at altitudes ranging from 2,000-7,000 feet (606-2,121 m). Siamangs prefer the middle canopy level, but will travel from tree tops to low bushes while feeding.
Height 30-35 inches (75-88 cm). Siamangs are the largest of the gibbon species. Male and female siamangs are about the same size.
18-35 pounds (8-16 kg).
25-30 years in the wild; up to 30 years in zoos.
In the wild: Siamangs eat approximately equal amounts of leaves and ripe fruit, also insects, birds and bird eggs.
At the zoo: Romaine, spinach, kale, celery, cabbage, broccoli, apples, oranges, bananas, yams, carrots, mealworms and crickets. High fiber biscuits are available at all times.
Siamangs mature sexually at 5 to 7 years of age. They form long-term monogamous bonds. Gestation period is seven to eight months (230 days). Females bear single young whose average birth weight is 6 ounces (170 gr). Females reproduce approximately every two to three years.
Siamangs provide a high level of parental care for their young. Infants are born naked (hairless) but are soon covered with soft, dark hair. They will not grow their long, adult hair until 2 to 3 years old. During the first year, mothers closely guard and care for their infants. Young are weaned at about 1, at which time fathers take over their daily care until the juveniles can live without assistance at about age 3. Between 6 to 8 years old, subadult siamangs leave their family units to establish their own families.
All gibbon species use brachiation (hand-over-hand locomotion) as their primary means of travel through their forest habitat. Powerful upper limbs and limited body weight enable siamangs to swing on branches and vines with great agility. Siamangs hook, rather than grasp, branches with their hands. In the wild, siamangs rarely descend to the forest floor. When required, however, they are efficient at bipedal walking on the ground or along branches, holding their arms above their head for balance.
Of all the gibbon species, siamangs form the closest social ties within the family unit. The siamang family group consists of one adult male and one adult female (probably a monogamous pair), and two or three offspring. Siamangs are diurnal (active during the day), with family members remaining close together while they forage for food. Food is generously shared among all family members. Rarely will family members become separated from one another by more than 100 feet (30 m).
Grooming among family members is their most common social behavior, followed by play centered on the infant. Unlike the great apes (gorillas, chimpanzees and orangutans) which build sleeping nests or platforms, siamangs sleep sitting upright on a branch high in the forest canopy, with arms folded and head between their knees.
Early in the morning, the tropical rain forest usually resonates with "singing" siamangs. Described as a combination of a dog's bark and a grouse's hoot, siamangs sing (or call) to communicate between family groups. Singing communicates location between different family groups, establishes and maintains feeding area boundaries and is also for defensive posturing. It is believed that singing also helps form, maintain and further develop bonds between a mated pair.
Siamangs sing so loudly that it can be heard for up to 3 miles (4.8 km). To produce this loud call, siamangs have a hairless, reddish-brown or gray throat (laryngeal) pouch which acts as a resonator to enhance the carrying of their call. When not in use, the pouch is hidden under their long, shaggy, jet-black fur. When inflated, the pouch is about the size of a siamang's head, and amplifies its hooting and barking to ear-splitting levels. Usually involving the adult pair, the male and female sing different but coordinated parts; songs have a definite beginning, middle and end. Each elaborate duet begins slowly, then accelerates in speed. A song lasts about 18 seconds and is repeated for about 15 minutes.
Woodland Park Zoo's siamang area, located at the Trail of Vines exhibit in the Tropical Asia bioclimatic zone, simulates their natural environment through the innovative use of dense foliage, vines, massive rock outcrops, pools and waterfalls. Visitors can observe the siamangs as they may behave in the wild. The area also has a heated indoor enclosure where the siamangs can reside during inclement weather.
Siamangs are an endangered species. Overpopulation, logging, agriculture and other human activities are rapidly destroying forest environments required by siamangs and other gibbon species for their survival.
Woodland Park Zoo is dedicated to conserving the siamang. The zoo supported a genetic analysis of captive North American siamangs to determine if there were distinct subspecies within the captive population. This study concluded that there was not sufficient genetic variation among siamangs to support subspecies designation. As a result, North American captive siamangs are managed as one population.
The effort to save threatened and endangered species requires cooperation and support at the international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations of your choice. Please do not buy products made from wild animal parts. Let your elected representatives know your views about conservation of endangered species and wild habitats.

I'm on the verge of sending off the 200 hard earned dollars to the BATFEPQRX for to build my own can. I had originally thought about building one that would work on both my 10/22 and my Galil, but the more I think about it, the more I want to make one specifically for my 10/22.
I've got a qestion though. I'd like to not have to spend the money to SBR the little Ruger, but I'd also like to have the barrel w/can about the same lenght as original. If I permenently attatched the can (like 8" long) to a short barrel (like 8" or 9"), would that negate the need to SBR it?
Yay for me!
Little caveats must be aware of, such as you can't have "spare parts", they count as a second device. And don't start working on it until you have the papers.
Just make sure the can maintains it's length when disassembled, as in weld on the rearcap to the tube. You might also want to leave the bbl a bit longer and extend and port it into the rear of the can to form an expansion chamber.
One other thing you might want to do is drop off the rest of your rifle with a family member or friend before you chop and weld the extention/can to the barrel at a differant place. get your barrel length to legal rifle length before you have it all in one location as an unregistered sbr even if it's only for a little while.
I was thinking of making a 2-piece design where the outer can and rearcap are one piece, and the monolythic core and endcap another piece. If I'm making it integral to the barrel, I guess I could go as big I want, to facilitate an expansion chamber.
Getting approval from the spouse will probably be harder than from the ATF! I'll just have to send off the forms without her knowledge, then when it comes back, I'll play dumb.
"I didn't tell you about this? I thought I did 6 months ago."
Why call them "cans"? isn't that a toilet?? hmmmm

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Wisconsin is trying to move past an excruciating and bizarre loss, and focus on its Big Ten opener against Purdue.
The No. 24 Badgers (2-1) lost 32-30 to Arizona State when officials erred in allowing the clock to expire, denying the Badgers the opportunity to attempt a possible game-winning field goal. The Pac-12 issued a statement Monday acknowledging the errors by its officiating crew, saying it has ''reprimanded and taken additional sanctions against officials'' in their handling of the final seconds.
''To us, it doesn't matter. It's probably the PC (politically correct) thing to do and something they had to do,'' said Wisconsin linebacker Chris Borland. ''But, we don't care about that. We lost the game, so that's all we care about.''
''You can't afford to dwell,'' Borland said. ''You really don't have time, our busy schedules, the practicality of things that we need to do next Saturday, make it easy to forget about what transpired, regardless of if it was something like last week or if it would have been a game-winning kick, we'd have to move on either way.''
But athletic director Barry Alvarez remains unhappy. He said on radio station 1070-AM in Madison on Monday that it didn't matter how long the loss would linger for him because he was no longer playing or coaching.
''It's going to bother me for a long time. I can't wait to see that official again,'' he said with a slight laugh on a podcast of the show posted on the station's website.
What would he tell the official?
''I'd rather not say,'' Alvarez said.
In looking for answers after the game, Alvarez said he never got a good explanation. Among responses given, Alvarez recounted on the show, was that players thought there may have been a fumble.
He stood steadfastly behind coach Gary Andersen, and praised the Badgers for doing what they were coached to do.
Alvarez said on the radio show that he thought there might be a situation where a replay official can buzz to the field if there was a problem.
''You get an apology. You get an admission that they were at fault, they made a number of mistakes. There's nothing you can do with it, but you know that you weren't wrong,'' Alvarez said. ''Our players did the right thing, does that help our record? No. But it's closure to know what we've coached and what we've practiced.
''You want the kids to decide the game, not the officials,'' he said.
Andersen said he didn't expect the result of the game to be changed.
''It doesn't change the outcome obviously and, like I said earlier, I don't expect that,'' Andersen said. ''But, it's accountability and at the end of the day, that's what we asked for.''
One aspect of the play that seemed to throw everyone off was quarterback Joel Stave planting the ball on the field and backing away. One Wisconsin player started to lunge toward the ball after seeing it lying on the ground and Arizona State's players converged on it as their coaches yelled from the sideline that it was a fumble.
Andersen said Stave did exactly what he was taught to do.
''The idea of him putting the ball on the ground is to give the officials the opportunity to get the ball spotted quicker and cleaner,'' Andersen said. ''The officials, wherever they were, but they weren't there to turn around and get the ball. That whole process of Joel looking around behind him, walking back there, where am I going to put the ball, how am I going to put the ball, that takes time, that takes valuable seconds and moments.''
Wisconsin's last 11 losses dating back to October 2010 have been by a touchdown or less, including the 37-31 ''Hail Mary'' loss to Michigan State in 2011 on the final play of the game.
The Badgers, who dominated Massachusetts and FCS school Tennessee Tech in a pair of shutouts, were shredded for 468 yards by the Sun Devils, including 352 passing by Taylor Kelly, who completed 29 of 51 passes.
''Did we play great defense, which was in the plan to winning that game? No, we did not,'' Andersen said. "It was solid enough to keep us in the game and put us in a position to be able to do some good things.''
Purdue (1-2), which has lost seven straight to Wisconsin, is next for the Badgers in the Big Ten home opener. Wisconsin has won four consecutive Big Ten home openers and nine of its last 10.
''I think everybody's a little edgy, everybody's a little excited,'' Andersen said. ''Coming back home, first Big Ten game, all that is there. I think our kids will bounce back will. It's part of life. It's life lessons that can be learned, you can only control what you can control.''

NH hero killed in Texas to be buried in Arlington Cemetery
Sgt. Maj. Lawrence Boivin, 47, grew up in North Stratford and survived tours of duty in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan. He was wounded by a grenade attack in Iraq in 2004, was awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart and retired after 24 years of service.
Although the date for Boivin's burial has not yet been set, calling hours will be tonight from 5 to 8 p.m. at Rogers & Breece Funeral Home in Fayetteville.
Much of the family, including Boivin's parents, Leonce and Lucette Boivin, have lived in Fayetteville for the past seven years, Leonce Boivin said.
A memorial service with full military honors will take place Wednesday at the U.S. Army Post in Ft. Bragg, N.C., a funeral home spokesman said Monday.
Boivin - a 1983 Stratford Public School graduate - was one of four previously wounded military veterans killed Thursday in Midland as they rode on flatbed trailers that were hit by a fast-moving Union Pacific freight train at a railroad crossing.
They were headed for a ceremony scheduled to honor their service to the nation.
Seventeen others, including servicemen's family members, were injured. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Witnesses at the scene told reporters that Boivin was one of two servicemen whose final acts were to push their wives off the float and to safety as the train struck.
Boivin's wife, Angela, was injured, but survived.
She was reported to be in shock following the crash.
A family spokesman in Fayetteville Monday declined to comment on her condition.

I was finally given a shout out on Christmas Day for wearing The Dark Night, I was so excited! I've been wearing, my growing collection all the time.
I wish I'd gotten in on the hoodies & stuff, forgot until the day after they were gone.
Waiting to see one in the wild...been grabbing some vintage ones on www.teetrade.com with my randoms & buying them.
My first television sighting! Whilst watching last night's "Face Off", I noted that one of the contestants, Jerry, was wearing "Death Served Till Noon".

Aww you beat me to posting it! I was so excited to see this
My physics teacher's assisstent was wearing the d and d this is how we roll. First woot sighting!
Aww man, you beat me too! I was just coming over to post this, hahaha. Pretty awesome.

I love that show! I'll have to check it out on Hulu since I don't have Syfy anymore.
I saw Fatheed's It Came Out Of Nowhere at work tonight. Seems one of my co-worker's husbands is a huge shirt.wooter.
Check out one of the cartoon characters, he has a woot shirt on.

ROFL that's Soulmates by Patrickspens
It's not in public, but this guy is making rounds on tumblr:
Woo for publicity!
That's amazing.
I was at a restaurant this week and my kids started getting excited when a guy walked by wearing Changing Sides and was seated at the table nearby.
"Mom! He's wearing a Woot shirt! Isn't that a Woot shirt?!?!"
I was wearing Escape at the time.
Sadly I have yet to see someone wearing one myself, but I got a shout out while at Universal Studios a couple months ago. I was wearing The Cheese is a Liederkranz, and someone pointed and exclaimed, "Woot shirt!" It made me smile, haha.

Aw man, I used to work at Universal Studios, but it was before my woot addiction. Imagine the shirts I've seen and didn't realize were woot shirts! Ack!
saw a floormate wearing caffeine powerup. Instant comment from me naturally. I must say it looks better in person than it does online
yesterday in the neshaminy mall bucks county pa, the dark knight and seasons. today i saw code of arms.
I saw "Toucan sheds his Tint" on a Dorito's commercial tonight at Applebees. I was excited, just bought this print too.
Not a sighting, but a possible new customer conversion story:
Tonight I had a friend over for dinner. I was wearing qetza's reading rocket ship, and almost the first thing she said when she came in was, "Wow, I love your shirt!" I happened to have another one in the next size down (I wasn't sure which size would look better, and figured it wouldn't be too hard to find SOMEONE who'd want whichever one wasn't the right fit), so I gave her that one... and told her about shirt.woot in the process. She wears t-shirts most of the time and is always looking for good long-sleeved ones, so especially with the new weekly sales, she might develop a shirt.woot habit worse than mine!
My bf and I are going to a small board gaming convention here in Massachusetts in a few weeks. I plan to wear woot shirts the entire time (with the possible exception of my Spamalot/Monty Python "I'm not dead yet" tee), and I'm hoping to have some good woot shirt sightings to share when the weekend is over! I see a lot of guys wearing thinkgeek shirts around here (Boston area), but I haven't spotted many woot shirts - though it's possible I just haven't been paying close enough attention...
I've been buying off woot for awhile now, so much that i started a blog
I'm wearing a different shirt every day for an entire year. Probably over 100 that will be woot ones.
I don't know the names of the people that designed them, but thanks to everyone that makes this so much fun.
EDIT Before everyone gets on my hair, I am growing it out to donate to locks for love.

Every single day woot shirt would be much cooler, but kudos on you for your efforts and best of luck!

That would be difficult!!!
I'm always worried when I wear my Intermission shirt that someone will get onto my back about it because it has a case of cigarettes on it. I've never smoked in my life, but love the shirt because my father works at a movie theater. Anyway a few wks ago I stopped into a Chick Fil A for lunch when a cop walked up to me and asked to see my shirt. I thought oh no, not only am I finally busted, but by a guy in uniform. Needless to say I was quite taken aback and relieved when he said "woot?". Needless to say thanks for spotting me, definitely helped on a tough day
At Disneyland over the weekend, spotted "School" and "Donut Panic".
If you follow the stats there's only so many woot shirts that make it to international destinations and even less to Australia. I was holidaying in Darwin and saw a guy wearing Ro-boss in Casuarina Shopping centre. I said 'Hi' and complimented his shirt taste. I was wearing Intensive Candy Unit at the time.
Saw someone wearing a 'Winning the Race' while in line at Washington Dulles Airport for the bus shuttle to terminal A Saturday night (the trains were down).
Because this shirt is one of my least favorite derby winners ever, I said nothing to the guy wearing it. Instead, I imagined a metastory where banditos stole his luggage, he engaged in a high speed cart chase only to crash on the airport train tracks, then got stuck borrowing this shirt from a friend of a friend who'd acquired it as a Random shirt purchase.
If anyone is going to Katsucon next weekend, I will have a few of mine on down in Art Show (which I believe is with AA this year) which I help staff. I have so many to choose from, but most likely "Makin' Bread", "One Arrow Left", and "Schrodinger's Cat" will be among them. Feel free to drop words.
Does this count?
Don't know who made it. (the cupcakes, that is)
Update. Looks like Jerry did his laundry, as he had the same shirt on again in tonight's new episode.
I saw a girl wearing Fresh Cake this morning at the Waffle House in Clemson. I was just getting off work & didn't notice until she was walking to her car in the parking lot. I almost beat on the windows, lifted my scrub top, and pressed myself against the glass so she could see that I had on Donut Panic underneath my scrubs. Then I reconsidered.
Two weeks ago I saw Lucky's white rabbit design at a farmer's market. A few days ago at Epcot and the monorails, I saw Tgentry's "Me Too Birds Flee a Pander Tree," Lucky's 3 states of matter design (with the dinosaur and tar pit) and Boots first ever woot print- the one with the "this way for water slides" sign. I also saw my "Green Means Go" design a month ago at Ikea (exciting!)
I swear I see woot shirts all the time (I think b/c I'm selfishly looking for my designs)- I'll try to post more when I see them...
G4TV's Attack of the Show! this week had their "threads" segment, which featured tshirtspotlight.com, which itself featured some ramy shirts...
Had my coolest sighting ever tonight!! I had the pleasure of briefly meeting Ms. Anna-Maria Jung at an event at MoCCA. She was sporting her own Mr. Poe's Guilt Trip, which looked really impressive in person - my monitor didn't do it justice!
This guy!! He added the gun rack to a volt to prove Newt Gingrich wrong and in the article/video look what he is wearing!!! Funny enough, and totally true, I was wearing the same shirt while I read this because I slept in it last night.

I saw the top half of Always Leave a Note peaking out from behind a jacket in my Western Civilization Class today.
I saw "Family Portrait" yesterday at work. i was wearing a pink shirt woot exclamation point Potty Emergency! under my hoody.
I saw a bunch of them during Furry Fiesta in Addison, TX this past weekend. Too many to recall off the top of my head.
Over the weekend I wore my "District 14" and "8-Bit Tux" shirts.

Oh My Gookie! . I think I might have to try to make that on Halloween.
At Hunter College in NYC yesterday I saw two in a row then none all day! I was wearing Rainbow Worrier from Threadless.
Four Classmates http://shirt.woot.com/Friends.aspx?k=20370
and The Legend of Pancakes http://shirt.woot.com/Friends.aspx?k=21104
I gave a nod to the Pancakes dude but I don't think he understood what I was saying considering the confused look he gave me. Four classmates was being worn by a girl at a table across the room and I didn't make any contact.

I've been researching the ROTJ cape designs by TK409 and Brak's Buddy and they're very well done, particularly since this item is one that we don't often see very well in reference photos.
There are small differences in the two capes, though, notably the attachment grommet location. I just picked up a cheap US Army half-shelter and I'm ready to start working on it, so I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this. Is one grommet location more screen-accurate while the other is more practical? Does it even matter? Am I obsessing over something that nobody is ever going to notice?

Those character models P_P
And yea the Paladin looks a bit like the Cleric in Neverwinter . That weapon in its left hand .
The Cryomancer
We've been excited to show off some of the beautiful scenery and GDC demo locations from Skyforge. Today, we'd like to lift the veil of secrecy on the first of two classes played by GDC guests, the Cryomancer!
These masters of ice and snow wield the latest in science and engineering achievements, a portable cryogenerator. This device allows them to harness the energy in the air around them and focus it into deadly spikes of ice and violent snowstorms with a simple thought.
Cryomancers have the ability to perform powerful attacks and defensive abilities such as the Cryonic Pulse, Icy Missile and the Ice Statue. They can be a very dangerous and calculating enemy who knows no mercy!
The Paladin
A few days ago we revealed the Cryomancer , one of the playable character classes in the GDC demo. Today the community gets their first look at the second class, the Paladin!
Defender of the weak and oppressed, the Paladin empowers his blade with divine energy to bring down the righteous wrath upon his enemies! The Paladin also wields a powerful artifact, a seal, capable of both inspiring allies and creating serious threats for his enemies.
The Paladin is capable of performing devastating attacks and engage in prolonged battles with abilities such as the Righteous Blow, Seal of Light, Punishing Bolt and Celestial Shield.

The Institute of Medicine has been asked to make recommendations about how to protect healthcare workers against swine-origin H1N1 influenza. They have been hearing presentations concerning the effectiveness of facemasks in preventing respiratory infections.
Not being an expert in respirators, are there any options other than the N95 studied that offer protection against influenza? Or, in other words, what should a discerning consumer look for in a protective "surgical type" mask if they want to protect themselves from exposure or from exposing others?(I assume the masks work both ways?)

Lesley University is a paid parking university. Any vehicle parked on the Lesley University campus must have a parking pass, either in hang-tag or printed form, displayed on the front mirror or dashboard of the vehicle. Because parking at Lesley is limited, a violation and fine system has been developed to help maintain control of our parking lots.

Vehicles without a valid permit or parked in restricted areas or impeding traffic, including blocking, are subject to citation and immediate towing at the owners expense.
Lesley reserves the right to have an illegally parked vehicle towed from the property at the operator/owner's expense without warning. A third violation will result in an immediate tow.
All employee and student parking fines must be paid online. All fines must be paid within 21 days from the date of issue in order to
avoid a late fee. Late charges of $15 will be added to any overdue
The holder of a parking permit who fails to pay a parking fine is subject to towing/or non-renewal of his/her parking permit. Employees with unpaid parking violations will not be issued new semester permits. Students with unpaid parking violations will not receive their grades or be permitted to graduate.
Lesley University maintains a fair and objective appeals process.

Discussion in 'January 2008' started by Dlev59, Jan 20, 2008.
Tay actually commented on the pick -n- roll defense. Said something like they were playing it wrong, or the coaching staff waiting to long to change it and let Turkeyglue kill us. I love these backhanded comments against the coach coming from all our players lately.
They actually did better percentage wise last night 23/30 (77%) than they did the prior 2 game/osses where against the Bulls they missed 10 FT's shooting 19/29, and then again vs the Kings on Friday where they were 19/30. If you are getting 30 FTA you probably should win those games, but of course the right folks have to get to the line and shoot.
Matt Goukas made similar comments last night indicating that the turkmiester was killing us on the pick and roll and Dice was hanging Tay out to dry trying to defend Howard and stop the Turkyglue penetration. Gouky knew all our all faults and development issues...he must be a member or frequent visitor to this forum. If Flip reads it, he totally ignores our suggestions
To be fair, some of them are anatomically impossible. Unless you're the snake lady.
Like the suggestions that require balls to implement?
That could be one example.
I've noticed that too. First Rip, then Chauncey, now Tay. I know Sheed had to have said something in private as well.
So, are we saying that the players don't think this coach is good enough and they are starting to tune him out?
Looks like it to me.
Who is the "snake lady"?????

Arsène Wenger believes Arsenal's defensive work is improving all the time - and the statistics back him up.
A difficult start to the campaign saw the Gunners concede 14 times in their first five Premier League fixtures but they have let in just 27 in the following 28 league games.
Last Wednesday's 3-0 win at Wolves was Arsenal's fifth shut-out in seven matches in all competitions and Wenger believes the thirst for clean sheets is reminiscent of the fabled defence he inherited when he arrived at Highbury in 1996.
"It is getting there," he told Arsenal Player, "because everyone does their job well.
"What we used to think is that clean sheets are only linked to defenders but it is not like that. It is more a team effort and on that front I believe we have improved.
"Of course our overall defensive record is still not good, but if you take into consideration that we conceded eight at Manchester United and four at Blackburn at the start of the season, our record since that period is quite good defensively."

Hey guys, I couldn't find nothing interesting to post on so I'm creating something for us. This post is just about saying if you like or not teaching to young learners?
Personally, I really enjoy teaching to them because they are so fun, entertaining and loving. It's so nice to see them smile and laugh when they do things, they are so interested in most of what they do and their childish enthusiasm is awesome. Of course, sometimes there's a lot more discipline to do because they are so excited, but at the same time there's some discipline to do at the secondary level too. But, the biggest difference between the two is the interest level of students, at the secondary level you have to bust your ass to interest them while young learners are a lot more likely to be interested in what you do.
What do you think? (or say whatever you want)

Arsène Wenger admits Marouane Chamakh's form has dipped recently but is confident he will be back to his best sooner rather than later.
If anything, the Moroccan striker has been the victim of his own success after raising expectations with a flying start to his maiden Premier League season.
The summer signing led the line tirelessly in the absence of Robin van Persie and Nicklas Bendtner in the notoriously demanding top flight and scored ten goals in his first 17 starts for Arsenal.
Chamakh's last goal came in the 4-2 win over Aston Villa on November 27 and Wenger expects him to rediscover his scoring touch soon.
"I think he had a little dip very recently because he gave a lot since the start of the season," said the manager. "But he will come back very quickly.
"He played most of the time on his own up front fighting for every single ball.
"He was highly decisive in many games and of course that's why in the last two games he was a little bit jaded and had less capacity to make a sprinting difference.
"I'm very happy we have him at the Club."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Horticulture specialists with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach answer homeowner questions about summer lawn care. To have additional gardening questions answered contact the specialists by calling or emailing the ISU Extension and Outreach horticulture hotline at 515-294-3108 or email@example.com.
Kentucky bluegrass and other cool-season grasses thrive in the cool weather of spring and fall. Hot, dry conditions in summer are stressful for cool-season grasses. Kentucky bluegrass lawns should be mowed at a height of 3 to 3½ inches during the summer months. Bluegrass lawns should be mowed at a height of 2½ to 3 inches in spring and fall. The additional leaf area during summer shades and cools the crowns of the turfgrass plants. The higher mowing height also provides more food-producing foliage and promotes deeper root growth.
When mowing the lawn, never remove more than one-third of the total leaf area at any one time. Removing more than one-third of the leaf area severely injures the turfgrass plants and reduces their ability to withstand additional environmental stresses.
Do not fertilize Kentucky bluegrass and other cool-season grasses during the summer months (June, July and August). The best times to fertilize cool-season grasses in Iowa are spring, mid-September and late October/early November. When fertilizing the lawn, do not apply more than one pound of actual nitrogen per 1,000 square feet in one application.
Gardeners have two basic options when confronted with hot, dry weather. One option is to do nothing and allow the grass to go dormant. The alternative is to water the turfgrass during dry weather to maintain a green, actively growing lawn.
Cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, can survive long periods of dry weather. In dry weather, the shoots of the turfgrass plants stop growing and the plants go dormant. Dormancy is a natural survival mechanism for turfgrass. While the leaves have turned brown and died, the turfgrass roots and crowns remain alive. Generally, Kentucky bluegrass can remain dormant for four to six weeks without suffering significant damage.
Cool-season lawns are at risk of dying if dormant for more than six weeks. To insure the survival of dormant grass, apply 1 to 1½ inches of water in a single application to lawns that have been dormant for six weeks. Water again seven days later. The grass should begin to green up after the second application of water.
If homeowners decide to water their lawns, proper watering practices help insure an attractive, healthy lawn and conserve water. Most lawns in Iowa require 1 to 1½ inches of water per week. When watering the lawn, apply this amount in a single application or possibly two applications three or four days apart. Avoid frequent, light applications of water which promote shallow rooting and lush growth. Lush, shallow-rooted turfgrass is less drought-tolerant. It is also more susceptible to pest problems. To determine the amount of water applied by a sprinkler, place two or three rain gauges within the spray pattern.
Early morning (5 to 9 a.m.) is the best time to water a lawn. A morning application allows the water to soak deeply into the soil with little water lost to evaporation. When watering is completed, the turfgrass foliage dries quickly. Watering at mid-day is less efficient because of rapid evaporation and strong winds may cause uneven water distribution. Strong, mid-day winds may also carry water onto driveways, sidewalks, or streets, wasting considerable amounts of water. Watering lawns in late afternoon or evening may increase disease problems.

"He was good," Pominville, who scored his fourth goal in five games, said of Auld. "They limited our odd-man rushes, they clogged up the middle really well. "We're a pretty good team and when we don't get those kind of chances it's kind of hard. We didn't battle and it ended up costing us at the end."'

The Canisius College men's basketball team travels to long-time rival St. Bonaventure Saturday night for the Golden Griffins' first road game of the year. This will mark the 162nd all-time meeting between these two Western New York schools.
• St. Bonaventure enters tonight's game with a 2-0 record after defeating South Dakota and Abilene Christian. The Bonnies have not allowed their first two opponents to reach 50 points in a game this season.
• The Bonnies went 14-15 overall last season and 7-9 in Atlantic 10 play.
• St. Bonaventure is led by senior Charlon Kloof, who is averaging 13.5 points per game this season.
•Canisius improved to 52-21 in home openers (since 1940) with its 71-66 win over South Dakota Nov. 11.
• The win over South Dakota gives the Golden Griffins back-to-back season-opening wins for the first time since the 2002-03 and 2003-04 campaigns.
• This is the 110th season of Canisius men's basketball. The Griffs are the first MAAC school to reach the 110-year varsity anniversary.
• The Griffs hold an all-time record of 76-32 in season-opening contests (no records for the 1913-14 and 1918-19 seasons) after defeating South Dakota at home Nov. 11.
• St. Bonaventure is closing out its three-game homestand to start the 2013-14 season tonight when the team hosts Canisius.
• The Bonnies have beaten South Dakota (68-46) and Abilene Christian (75-47) this season. This marks the first time St. Bonaventure has held opponents under 50 points in back-to-back games since 2009-10.
• Senior Charlon Kloof leads the way for the Bonnies offense with his 13.5 points per game scoring average. In the win over Abilene Christian Nov. 11, four of the Bonnies' starters posted double-digits in the scoring column.
• Junior guard Jordan Gathers scored 14 points in the team's win over Abilene Christian Nov. 11, and he comes into tonight's game averaging 12.5 points and 4.0 assists per game.
• As a team, the Bonnies have held their first two opponents to an average of 46.5 points per game, while limiting South Dakota and Abilene Christian to a combined 34.1 percent from the field and 23.5 percent from 3-point range.
• Tonight's game between Canisius and St. Bonaventure marks the 162nd all-time clash between these two long-time Western New York rivals.
• St. Bonaventure holds a 97-64 lead in the all-time series, but the series has been more even in the last 10 contests, with Canisius holding a 6-4 lead in the series since the 2003 game.
•Last season, Canisius defeated St. Bonaventure 72-69 in front of a sold-out Koessler Athletic Center. That game marked just the sixth time in 161 meetings where the final score was decided by five points or less. The Griffs are 4-2 in those games.
• This game will mark the 36th time the Griffs have played the Bonnies in the Reilly Center, where St. Bonaventure holds a 30-5 lead in the series.
• The Griffs lost 25-straight games in the Reilly Center before posting a 76-74 win Dec. 3, 1994. In their six previous trips to Olean, N.Y., the Blue and Gold is 2-4.
• Canisius has played more games against St. Bonaventure (161) than any other non-conference opponent.
• This is the 91st season these two schools have met on the hardwood. In terms of years, this is Canisius' longest running rivalry.


text: The estate was named Beau-Séjour in 1787 by General Jacques de Carle, the proprietor at the time. Michel Bécot bought the estate from Doctor Jean Fagouet in 1969 and further increased the area under vine from 10.5 hectares to 15 by acquiring 4.5 hectares on the Trois Moulins plateau in 1979. The château then took on the name of Beau-Séjour Bécot. The vines are planted on perfectly homogenous soil ideal for producing fine wine. Michel Bécot retired in 1985. His two sons, Gérard and Dominique, now manage the estate.

I'm not a breeder, nor do I plan to be. I think you've been given some good advice so far, but I know one thing a horse breeder told me (and she is one of the most successful warmblood breeders in the US), is not to be 'barn blind'. Her words 'cull, cull, cull your broodmares'
In other words, you have to take a hard look at what you have in front of you and even though they can be lovely animals as individuals, if they are not producing, you need to stop breeding them and/or rehome them. This is surprisingly difficult for a lot of people.
I also agree with it being an absolute necessity to put titles on your breeding stock. I think being dedicated to working with your dogs gives you much needed depth of knowledge as to what strengths and weaknesses they have.
Then you need to learn about the bloodlines, what they contribute to the gene pool, and this takes years and years of seeing dogs work and handling all kinds of dogs.
It's an ambitious goal, but an important one, so I hope you will pursue it with the guidance of a good breeder.

"I have a wonderful lady who I plan to have as my mentor if she'll have me." hope she knows her stuff
I started with the same goal 8 yrs ago. I first decided I wanted a dog I could title in Schutzhund. I then searched (about 6 months) for the right breeder of that dog. Having had a boyfriend that had owned a black GSD, I had decided that was the color I wanted as well. I got the total package with Yoko. Before I could be approved by the breeder to purchase Yoko, I had to find a trainer I was going to work with. Sent out a couple emails and was recommended to a couple. Did research on those individuals and picked the one I wanted to train with. Spent the next two years going to private lessons, group lessons, fun matches, etc. Yoko certainly proved herself to be breed worthy in the obedience ring. Yes, that is correct, we do AKC obedience. I had not done Schutzhund training with her. The trainer and I talked and thought that would be the best route for us, since I had never trained a dog before.
My trainer owns GSD's, titles GSD',s and has put an OTCH on one of her dogs. She is right now working toward an OTCH with her Schutzhund male. She is my greatest asset for our success in the obedience ring. She has been there, done that. Her trainer is one of the top trainers in the country.
When Yoko became of age, I did OFA's on hips/elbows. Did CERF (twice now), and also Cardiac testing. She was titled with her novice title in three trials. She is always in the ribbons and placed in the top 10 ranking for GSD's in 2008 and 2009. She was placed with me on limited registration and that was lifted with the health testing and title. We were now ready.
Breeding her was my original goal, but it was a long road to getting there. Was she a good representation of her breed? She was now almost three. My trainers male having being titled and health tested might be a good match. Spent about two months researching pedigrees and asking input from others on the match of the two dogs. We decided to go for it.
I have whelped litters before and have worked in animal hospitals so have experience in that area. I felt confident with myself that I could handle the whelping process. She delivered 8 pups, 7 survived. One black female was born with an open abdomen, so she didnt make it. That is all part of breeding.
I had help from friends to place the pups. I also have in my contract that I have first right to refusal if they need to be rehomed. One of the pups was placed with the friend of a friend (were supposed to get a pup from another breeding that didnt take). That male pup ending up having to be rehomed, but the friend took care of that. That pup ended up with a transitional vertebra and had to be rehomed again. Working K9 now, great placement, but I did not have great contact infor for placing him, some one else did. Very thankful for that. At two years old, had a male come back to me because he was not control able. (Had been placed with original owners parents). My house was crazy at that time with this male that couldnt be let out with the puppies I currently had because he would attack him. After two months, I drove him 600 miles to get him to a trainer to place him with a police dept. Now I had surgery and still had puppies from the second litter and no homes and unable to do anything with them. Advertising is not my forte. Now down to mom and one pup (who is now 1 yr old). And yet another pup from my first litter coming back as a 3 yr old. Again, uncontrollable and aggressive. Buyers just dont seem to listen to you when you tell them they need training. Now I have three bitches in my small house, and have to work at integrating the one and crate rotate. Things going okay, her mother and her want to kill eachother but her and her half sister want to play and as long as the aggressive one is leashed we are good. Notice some health issues with older pup. Save (working two jobs now just to pay for the dogs, so not much free time) up money for health testing. I know dogs can be placed in better homes with health testing. Spend almost $1,000 just getting allergy testing, hips, elbows, patellas, dentition, thyroid done. She came back totally healthy and very happy for that. Made another contact in the dog world by this time and took her an hour away for an eval by this person. He was able to place her with a breeder. Now she has an inverted vulva, of course we didnt know that. Person that originally took her spent a lot of money to try to breed her and it didnt take. She was adjusting well and he had to place her into another home, she is doing very well.
Third litter. Trying AI with male several states away. Got one puppy. Certainly doesnt cover the expense of progesterone testing and AI or the c-section for one pup. Good thing I have been working two jobs to pay for all this.
She is in heat now and going to try AI again. Same male. Hopefully this time we do better and I can get my female out of her to keep. This will most likely be her last litter. I must be crazy!!
Temperament - she listens, almost always with the first verbal command. We have 4 children, another dog (American Bulldog, neutered, male), and two cats. Our daughter, who is now two, has climbed, laid on, pulled, pushed etc on our GSD since we got her at 8 weeks, and our GSD has always been very good with the children. She has never bitten or tried to bite anyone, except in defense of her life (long story), and it was a fluke thing, mostly my and the other dog's fault.
She loves to learn new things, and usually does so within the first training session on simple things, and seems to remember them with no reminders to do them forever (it's been a year on one 'trick').
She never barks in the house, she does bark at people who get close to our yard, though, and dogs who do the same.
She will not accept food from strangers outside, even if they are with someone she knows and likes.

Thank you all, for the links, and information. You all pose some great questions. How does one go about getting my dog in events (like trials or what-not)? I have a wonderful lady who I plan to have as my mentor if she'll have me. I have raised one litter of puppies before (long story, and not with this dog), and I am 100 percent willing and ready to accept all returns.
It's there anything special that needs to be done to make sure law enforcement can use my pups?

Well, winter is indeed inevitable at this point and before long we will all be building snowmen. Those who have a passion for gardening might be looking for a little break considering the summer we have had. But, alas, the itch for green begins to creep back in sometime between now and January. What to do, what to do?? I have the perfect answer. Indoor gardening. Sounds difficult but actually there are many gardening projects you can complete while the ground is covered with snow.
I will cover more subjects in December, but for now I would like to start with the fabulous art of building a terrarium. Using a tightly closed or open transparent container for growing and displaying plants is a fantastic way to grow many plants which would not generally appreciate our normal home atmosphere. When set-up properly, these miniature gardens require minimal care. If you get started now, they can make excellent Christmas gifts!
Supplies needed are: (Suburban Lawn & Garden carries almost everything you will need):
- Almost any type of clear container (fish bowl, glass jar, etc… thrift stores are a great resource)
- Drop cloth (so you can be a little messy and have more fun)
- Long-handled spoon (used to distribute soils and gravel)
- Scissors (to prune plants prior to planting)
- Atomizer or Bulb-type sprayer (for watering)
- Growing medium (clean and sterile peat moss based potting soil preferably)
- Horticultural charcoal (to keep the soil from becoming sour)
- Sphagnum sheet moss
- Clean gravel (fish tank gravel, expanded shale or sterilized pea gravel will work)
- Plants (insuring light/moisture requirements are the same for each terrarium)
- Distilled water
- Decorations (optional)
- Rain-X rain repellent (optional if your terrarium will be a plant only environment)
- If you are using a container with a very narrow opening, you may need some long sticks, and one with a wire loop on the end for lowering plants/decorations into the container.
Be sure to ask for Janet or Nancy in our tropicals department for help finding your supplies and for other tips they may have to offer! Now that you have everything you will need gathered together, it is time to get creative!
If you are opting to use the Rain-X, this will be the first thing you do. Apply it to the inside of your container as directed by the product instructions. This is a spray on/wipe off product so use in a very well ventilated area and be sure to wipe all excess off of the jar. Never place animals in a terrarium with Rain-X applied as it can be toxic for them to be near.
Next you will fill the bottom of the container with a layer of gravel keeping in mind that approximately 1/4 of your container will consist of your base substrates. A 1/2 inch thick layer of horticultural charcoal will be applied over the gravel. The next step is optional, but will keep a cleaner looking presentation. A layer of sphagnum sheet moss is placed over the charcoal layer which will help to keep the soil from mixing into the gravel. You will need a minimum of 1 1/2 inches of potting soil on top of the sheet moss.
I have provided a list of appropriate plants for this project below. Be sure to select those which will be well suited in the container you have chosen and can be satisfactory companions (same water and light requirements). Click in the upper right corner if you would like to view a printable copy to take shopping with you.
When installing your plants, consider the visibility of your terrarium and arrange accordingly. Before placing them, loosen the soil from their roots. Make sure the leaves are not touching the sides of the glass, particularly if your container is closed. The excess moisture collected at the site of contact will cause the leaves to rot.
Don't forget to water your creation! The initial watering will be about the same for closed versus open containers, Quite simply, you will want to moisten the soil (do not cause it to be wet. Many people prefer to use an atomizer (sprayer) or bulb type sprayer for this task. Keep in mind that your closed containers may be able to go for a few months without adding any water. This is an excellent time to add decorations if you would like to. The soil is moist and will easily accept objects. Replace the lid on your closed terrarium after the foliage has thoroughly dried.
Your little plants in their glass house will need light, of course, but never direct sunlight. The temperature inside the jar will heat up very quickly and all of your hard work will be destroyed. Place in indirect light and monitor for plant happiness. During the first few weeks you will want to check on moisture retention, plant satisfaction and overall cleanliness (smell, etc…). If everything seems to be set up and in tune, the essential microbes will begin to grow which will complete the cycle of life within your bio-bowl.
Don't be afraid to have some fun with this project, it should reflect a bit of your personality, particularly if you are giving them as gifts. Unlike standard houseplants which require frequent attention, terrariums are easy keepers. Aside from the occasional misting of water, your terrarium will then be fairly self sustaining for quite some time!! Enjoy!!

Razor blade found with Halloween candy was from child's own pencil sharpener
NASHUA - Police say a razor blade found inside of a child's trick-or-treating bag Thursday night was a piece of a broken pencil sharpener left over from his school supplies.
Police had initially issued an alert Thursday night after learning the parents of a 12-year-old boy had discovered the loose razor blade mixed in with the child's candy after going door-to-door collecting candy on Halloween.
"At this point in the investigation, it appears that this blade was already within the bag prior to the child leaving his house to go trick-or-treating," police said in a release. "The bag that had been used by the child was a backpack that was used regularly to carry school supplies, to include a pencil sharpener."
Police say it appears that the child's pencil sharpener was removed from the bag before the Halloween festivities, and that it was discovered without the razor blade upon further investigation. Authorities believe the razor blade found within the collected candy was the same blade missing from the boy's pencil sharpener.

Green Bay Faces Detroit in Horizon League Opener
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Riding a five-game winning streak to close out non-conference play, the Green Bay women's basketball team (10-2, 0-0 HL) will welcome league rival Detroit (7-5, 0-0 HL) to the Kress Center on Tuesday evening for the highly anticipated 2012-13 Horizon League opener. The game will be broadcast on Time Warner Cable Sports32, with Chris Roth and former Green Bay player Mary Simonsen on the call. Tipoff is set for 7 p.m.
The meeting will be a rematch of the 2012 Horizon League Tournament Championship game, which Green Bay won 66-53 at the Kress Center to advance to a fourth-straight NCAA Tournament appearance last season. The win came a little more than a month after Detroit had upset then-No. 9/9 Green Bay at home to snap a program-best 40-game winning streak and give the Phoenix its first Horizon League loss at the Kress Center.
In its final non-conference matchup of the season, Green Bay continued its streak of defensive dominance against St. Bonaventure (7-8), holding the Bonnies to just 27.9 percent shooting in a 61-42 home win. Redshirt junior Breannah Ranger (Skokie, Ill.) posted a team- and career-high with 14 points on 70 percent shooting and grabbed six rebounds, while teammate Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) added 12 points. Senior Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) scored 13 while hitting three of five attempts from long range, and also had a game-high eight rebounds.
The win over St. Bonaventure marked the eighth time the Phoenix has held an opponent to less than 50 points this season. In NCAA stat rankings released on Jan. 6, Green Bay's 48.5 points allowed per game is the fifth-best in all of Division I women's basketball. After holding the Bonnies to just 27.9 percent from the floor, the Phoenix has now held an opponent to shooting less than 30 percent on four occasions this season. Green Bay also continued to own the paint, posting a 36-10 advantage over the Bonnies. During the winning streak, Green Bay has outscored opponents a combined 172-50 in the paint.
Detroit travels across Lake Michigan with a 7-5 record, having last played in a 74-60 loss at USF on Dec. 31. Led by sophomore Shareta Brown, the nation's second-leading scorer at 26.0 points per game, the Titans have scored 88 points or more in four contests this season. Before the loss to USF, Detroit had won three straight games by an average score of 93-50.
Green Bay is 36-7 all-time against Detroit, including a 22-1 mark under head coach Kevin Borseth, who has never faced Detroit in the Kress Center. The last time Borseth led Green bay against the Titans was an 81-58 win in the Horizon League Tournament Quarterfinals on March 7, 2007.
FOLLOW IT LIVE: Tuesday's game will be the third televised game the Phoenix has played this season, with Time Warner Cable Sports32 carrying the action. Chris Roth will handle the play-by-play, while former Green Bay player Mary Simonsen (Kulenkamp) will provide color analysis. Fans can also listen live on Saturday as Bruce VandenPlas will have the call on The Fan 107.5 FM, 1400 AM and WDUZ The Fan.com. Live stats and live video will also be available for the game against Detroit. Be sure to follow @GBPhoenixWBB and @JustinGrones on Twitter for updates throughout the game.
CONFERENCE OPENER SUCCESS: Since joining the North Star Conference in the 1988-89 season, Green Bay has never lost a conference opener. The last time Green Bay opened Horizon League play against Detroit was on Dec. 31, 2010, a 69-62 home win.
Senior Lydia Bauer has found her
stride from behind the arc, hitting six of her last 11 attempts from long
range. Bauer hit three of six attempts at Wichita State on Dec. 30 and followed
it up by hitting three of five attempts in the win against St. Bonaventure. At
34.0 percent, Bauer is second on the team in 3-point field goal percentage and
fourth on the team averaging 9.0 points per game. The Lake Zurich, Ill. native
is also averaging 5.1 rebounds per game.
NOTABLE CONNECTIONS: Detroit head coach Autumn Rademacher played for the Titants from 1993-97 and was a member of the 1997 MCC Championship team that defeated Green Bay in the championship game at the Phoenix Sports Center. Rademacher also served as an assistant coach at Green Bay from the 2003-04 season through the 2007-08 season before accepting her current position at Detroit.
NEXT ON THE SCHEDULE: Green Bay will remain at home to wrap up a three-game
homestand against Wright State on Saturday, Jan. 12. Originally slated for 2
p.m., the
game will be played at noon due to the Green Bay Packers' NFC Divisional
Round playoff game set for 7 p.m.

It's all about the hunt for these treasure hounds in Keene
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News | April 27. 2013 8:43PM
The Best O' North East four-day treasure hunters convention is being held in Keene this weekend. (MELANIE PLENDA)
"It's a great thing for a grandpa and grandson to do together," Guhse said, standing next to his 6-year-old grandson Andrew Sawyer, at the Best O' North East four-day treasure hunters convention Saturday. Andrew came prepared, armed with his trusty magnifying glass.
Guhse took Andre out for his first hunt. Right out of the shoot, the six-year-old found a dime in his yard. Grandpa still has that one.
"It teaches (kids) history," Guhse said. "It gives them a sense of what came before and broadens the horizons of a young person's mind."
Now in its 20th year, the convention is hosted by Streeter's Treasure Hunting & Prospecting Supplies, the oldest metal detector outfit in New Hampshire. The event brings out hunters, prospectors and the curious from all over New England. On Saturday, enthusiasts came out to the Keene Recreation Center for the exposition portion of the weekend, where they could find the latest detectors and metal-finding gadgets and ogle fellow hunters' finds.
But this year, it was a button that stole the show.
"It's from 1789," said Jim Doray, of Barre, Mass., speaking of the very rare George Washington inaugural button sitting on his table.
"Some buttons were given directly from George Washington to his troops, the elite troops that fought alongside him," he said.
Personal treasure
Doray loves this button. One can hear it in his voice.
It's in the excited way he recounts its history and the place of prominence it has on his table.
Doray recently found it in his hometown of Lester, Mass. And he worked hard for that find, he doesn't mind telling listeners. His sister-in-law told him that the house in which he found it had once belonged to a colonel who fought with George Washington.
"He was in direct command with Washington. He fought alongside him in the Revolutionary War," Doray said. "Once I heard that, I knew I had to get permission to get on that property."
The house was sold to a college and he thought himself sunk - until it turned out his brother knew a member of the grounds crew at the house.
After a week of red tape and "hanging by my thumbs," Doray got permission to carefully search the land surrounding the house.
"I knew there was going to be a lot of history in the ground," he said. "I knew I was going to find something."
And he did.
The button, though worn and dirty, still bears the year 1789 clear as day.
And where most non-hunters would immediately wonder why it was sitting under glass at his table in Keene, instead of turned in for a pile of cash, Doray just smiles.
"It has more historical value to me than monetary value," he said. "Why get rid of it? Because the money is going to be gone, and the button will be gone, and I won't have anything."
And that's at the crux of what treasure hunters love about their hobby.
These are all items that any museum could have in collection, but, said Doray, "This is mine. I get to hold it in my hand."
Tablemate Erin Stevens, also of Barre, is a member of the New Hampshire Bob's online treasure hunting community and has a similar take. She points to a box of buttons and coins on her table.
"I know these people," she said. "I know their history, I've read their diaries, I know who dropped this stuff. . I love the history (of treasure hunting), every single piece is special to me."
And she acknowledges, a little sheepishly, it's also the thrill of the hunt.
"It is an adrenaline rush," she said. "It's really addictive."
It was that way for George Streeter of Marlborough, the sort of granddaddy of treasure hunting in the Northeast.
He taught Doray and many others at the convention Saturday over the course of the 40 years he's been running his shop.
"Every person has a desire to get rich for free," Streeter said of how he got started.
"And I thought if a metal detector could actually find things in the ground, I knew of places where I could go and use it. And I got greedy. I got a whole bunch of metal detectors in, and without thinking I sold them all. So I never found out how good the detectors were, except from my customers. And they all found some really great finds."
Streeter eventually became a hunter, too. And, at nearly 72, he still takes groups of people out to the Caribbean for every-other-month treasure hunts.
"I search for lost valuables in the ocean," he said. "Whatever we find is ours. We return what we can and keep the rest. I've found so much, you wouldn't even believe me. "
And Streeter is no different from every other hunter at the convention, each of whom has that one thing he or she is looking for, their white whale. Streeter is still looking for his.
"Everybody is looking for something," he said. "The treasure may be in the ground, it may be a friend, it may be a place you want to visit. But it's fun looking for it.
"I don't think I've found it yet. I think that I found a lot of things and that if I drop dead tomorrow, I'm happy. I think I've probably found more than I should have," he said.
"I think I am a very lucky, fortunate person. I believe in God, and I believe sometimes he steers us in the right direction. And as long as he steers me, I'm going to keep looking."

Why can't/won't Petraeus testify?
posted at 5:47 pm on November 9, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Duane, what puzzles me is why Petraeus' resignation disqualifies him from testifying at all. I'm not the only one puzzled, either. NRO's Katrina Trinko can't figure it out:
Perhaps there is some protocol I'm unaware of, but I don't see why resigning should affect whether Petraeus testifies or not. He was in charge of the CIA when the Benghazi attack occurred, and the CIA has been under plenty of fire for how the attack was handled.
Neither can John Hinderaker:
This gets curiouser: Petraeus was scheduled to testify before a Congressional committee on Benghazi next week, but in view of his resignation his testimony has been canceled. That makes no sense to me. Why should his resignation have anything to do with testifying about events that occurred while he was the director of the agency?
The only explanation I can conceive is that Petraeus doesn't really have any information to tell Congress that relates to his own personal actions relating to the Benghazi attack. That seems curious in and of itself — after all, the attack involved the CIA annex and two CIA operatives died. Did Petraeus not take part in any decisions about the response to the attack or intel gathering before and after it occurred? If all Petraeus had to offer Congress in testimony was a rundown of the organizational efforts, then his deputy Mike Morrell can give that to Congress.
Don't be surprised to see a subpoena heading Petraeus' way from the House Oversight Committee to make sure that's the case, though.

Reviewed By Scott S (Kalispell, MT) Reviewed for a 2007 Toyota 4Runner —7/16/2008 8:43 PM
I installed a Flowmaster 50 SUV muffler on my '07 4Runner (cut gas mileage 1mpg!). The LOUD sound resonating back in the cab was like a sick cow, moaning from both ends at once (YUCK!)! Midas suggested that I try a turn down eshaust tip, but all they had was chrome plated- They said that the exhausst acid would eat it, and recommended stainless. The problem was that that Toyota used a metric diameter pipe tip (about 2 5/8"...), that no bolt on would fit over! Midas welded this tip on, and it matched perfectly! -Another plus is that it flares out to 3", and does not restrict exhaust flow at the bend! Bottom line!- It cut resonating by 70%, and I can live with the noise (now sounds like my neighbors John Deere diesel tractor). Wish I had never installed the Flowmaster muffler!

Things to try
My dog has allergies and they started young. We went through all the mites, fleas, skin disease stuff too before confirming on allergies.
A few things to try short of tests.
1. Coconut oil- try this instead of fish oil. All the same good omega 3's and 6's, but if your pup has a fish allergy, this will be better. I just put a little scoop on his food and my dog loves it. It should be cold pressed organic. You can google the exact ratio, but it is like 1/2 tsp per 15 lbs. or something close to that.
2. sensitive skin shampoo- We use Aroma Paws sensitive formula, every other week bath. It soothes his skin, helps limit any allergens he picks up on his paws/coat.
3. Look at all your food and treats. My bet is there are a lot of different ingredients, particularly grains. Try to limit the ingredients and see if that helps things. For instance, we are using venison and sweet potato food and all his treats are either venison or sweet potato. Sometimes I will let him try a something else like a raw bone, but we avoid grains of any kind now.
If any of those help, you may be on the right track for allergies. There are lots of different tests (saliva, blood, skin) but most Vets will urge you to try #3 before allergy testing anyway so you might as well do that before you have to pay someone to tell you to do it.
There are also a variety of drugs to try, but you'll need a Vet to tell you the ratios of even the OTC stuff like Benadryl or Zyrtec for dogs.
Allergies are no fun but hopefully you'll find things that work and you can manage them.
itchy puppy
My GSD pup is 6 mos. I have noticed he has been very itchy, he was on salmon oil before he was itchy and is still on it so it doesn't seem to help. He is biting at himself and is starting to get bald spots from it. He has been checked for mites and doesn't have them. I'm thinking its allergies and may have to do allergy testing, but would like to see if any of you have suggestions before I commit to spending that much. Thank you

The Hon. Damon J. Keith was appointed to serve as a United States Court of Appeals Judge for the Sixth Circuit in 1977 by President Jimmy Carter. Prior to his appointment to the Court of Appeals, he was a judge of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan from 1967 to 1977, where he served as Chief Judge from 1975 until he was elevated to the Court of Appeals.
As a member of the federal bench, Judge Keith has consistently been a defender of the constitutional and civil rights of all people. He presided over many landmark cases, most notably United States v. Sinclair, which is referred to as the Keith Decision. In that decision, Keith ruled that President Nixon and the federal government were prohibited from engaging in warrantless wiretapping because it violated the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution. The U.S. Supreme Court unanimously affirmed Keith's decision.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Hey guys! I'm new to the zine-making scene, and I was wondering if there were any zine distros out there that were just strictly dedicated to subjects about historical figures and places, (both local history and/or general world history).
I'm interested in beginning a series of zines about local historical figures in my city, and would love to read others for inspiration!
Views: 249
That would be neat if there was a distro that focused on history. I don't know of one. Here in Portland we have a series of Portland history zines being made by The Dill Pickle Club
I know of some history based zines (Simple History is the best, one of the best zines out right now) but not any distros.
Try zine libraries. The last 30 years of zine culture is pretty rich. Old issues of Factsheet Five could be used as a directory, with the reviews illuminating various zines' contents. One zine that uses researched history is Murder Can Be Fun which was made by a libarian--I think. But right under our nose is the plethora of personal/ first person zines. They act as folk lore, a people's history of sorts.
Zine libraries: NY-ABC NO RIO, Wisconsin- some College had a special zine collection also Madison Info Shop, Utah-SLC Main Public Library, Portland-IPRC, San Francisco SF public Library, SF- Gutteblud(retail antique zine store), Berkley- The Long Haul Info Shop, Oakland Rock Paper Scissors, Colorada (I think the Denver Main Library), FlagStaff, AZ.- Taala Info shop,New Orleans-Iron Rail, Gainsville, FL-Wayward Council, and Chicago Quimbys(retail store)
Good Luck
I don't know of any distros that just carry historical zines. But there's a really great zine called "100 Years of Modern Iran" that I really liked. You can get it here http://www.microcosmdistribution.com/catalog/zines/3084/
The SCA has newsletters in the form of zines across much of this country. It's all medieval stuff though, nothing US oriented.

Boockmeier Named Horizon League Golfer of the Week

GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The day after winning his second-straight tournament, Green Bay junior men's golfer Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) was named the Horizon League Men's Golfer of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Boockmeier trailed by four strokes entering the final round of the John Piper Intercollegiate, but used four birdies and a closing 35 on the back nine to post a one-stroke victory. After opening with a 75, Boockmeier played his final 36 holes at Bowling Green's Stone Ridge Golf Club in 6-under par (68-70).
Last week, playing in the Green Bay Invitational at Green Bay Country Club, Boockmeier trailed by three strokes entering the final 18 holes. That day, Boockmeier carded a 2-under par 70 to rally and win the home tourney by one shot.
In his six rounds this season, Boockmeier has posted four rounds under par and has played 108 total holes in 2-under par for a scoring average of 71.7.
Boockmeier becomes the first Green Bay golfer to be named Horizon League Golfer of the Week since Austin Ehlenfeldt on April 21, 2010.

Just for those who dont know, or arnt at C4... the actual suit (the SE Fett or special edition with ROTJ body and ESB helmet) is here. No glass, no barriers. My self, Darth Miller, and Spidey Fett are on the case getting HUNDRED of hi res photos and yes, even bending the ruels to get some pics that havent been gotten before.
A few things to notice when we start posting is,
1. The chest diamond has the raised portion like we all belive it origonaly had, this may be a repair and I am waiting on a confrimation from the archivest that I talked to for confrimation. As they belive this isnt a repair, but rather something else.
2. The knee darts have 3 fine grooves in the end portion. This isnt in previous pics.
3. The cape acording to the archivest has been on display inside out in every exhibit. I am trying to get a specail photo to show the weathering...
4. the helmet has a battery pack with circut board and switch in it I never noticed.
We got close to this suit, like I said no glass, I will say this... we got to close... broke rules and it now has 3 security personel around it becase of me, but all for the sake of some good photos.
We will share all we have once we get them organized so stay tuened.
I will say this, all of our jump suits are under weathered by 1000%, our helmets need more over misting, and the red in person on the mandibles is almost brown with out flash photos. I plan to re work alot of my gear.


text: I know I'm not the only one watching this tonight so I figured I'd start a thread here. I've been watching a few of the behind the scenes things this week and it seems like this is a really great group of women competing tonight. I enjoy Miss America much more than the others because of the talent competition and the fact that swimsuit doesn't count as much overall. Hoping Miss Ohio does well because she's actually from my alma mater university! Woo Ohio!!! SO happy for Miss Montana to make the cut as the audience choice!
