Hi Bellisimum,
One of the best ways to encourage your daughter to speak more is to encourage her to ask for what she wants. If she just points, and you reward her by doing what she wants, then she'll learn that she doesn't need to speak because she'll think, "Mum is really good at figuring out what I need, so why talk?".
Obviously, when a child is very young and doesn't have the capacity to communicate with words, then we have to figure out what they want or teach them baby sign language so they can communicate non-verbally. But your daughter is at an age where she is able to communicate verbally, so it's now just a matter of encouraging her to speak.
If she points to something, ask her what she wants. If she can't communicate it in words, and if you know what she wants, ask her to say the word. If she wants water say to her, "say water, and Mama will get you some water".
I'd also encourage you to read to your daughter every day. As you're reading, point to different things on the pages and say the words. Ask her to repeat the words. It may not sound perfect, but at least she will be trying and will be practicing her speech.
And then just spend a lot of time talking to your daughter each day. If it's Christmas time and there are pretty lights to look at, point to the lights and say, "Do you see the pretty lights?" What color is this one? If she doesn't know the color, then point to a color and say "red", "green", "blue", etc. The more she hears you talk and the more you draw her into the conversation and experience, the more she will want to practice her words.
If you really feel your child should be assessed, then you can contact your local school district to ask if they have a speech program. This is what I did, and the speech therapist came to our home and did a very relaxed assessment on my daughter. It was determined that she did not need any speech therapy and she was right on or even above in her speech and communication skills. I was probably overly sensitive to her speech development because she was my first child, and I had had a nephew who had speech challenges.
I also heard of a little boy who didn't talk at all until he was 3 years old. One day he just started speaking and when he did, it was in sentences.
I hope this gives you some idea on how to encourage your daughter in her language development.
Warm Regards,

Good day everyone!
So I already gave birth and my son is turning 11 months now. He is so active and hyper at the same time. I am thinking if this is normal. He crawls a lot and now beggining to walk and run. Should I seek help from a professional? Thanks!!

Hi bhebs23,
Thank you for your post. What you have described about your 11 month old sounds completely normal to me. What was it you were particularly concerned about?
Once children start getting about more they become 'into everything'. I often joke that toddlers always run everywhere and never walk! The world is just too much of an exciting place to take it slowly.
It is wonderful that your son is so energetic and wants to explore everything.
How does he compare to other boys his age that you know? There is a big range in 'normal' at this age. By around 12 months of age you could expect your child to:
- be able to understand simple instructions
- make word-like sounds (although it is totally fine if they are not actual words)
- start to stand alone for a few seconds
- point to what they want
- copy your gestures
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is not normally diagnosed until a child is at least 3-5 years old. It can worsen if a child has too much sugar in their diet. In fact, many children become hyperactive for a short period of time if they eat too much sugar in one go. At 11 months of age, milk (or milk products) should still be your child's main source of nutrients with other healthy and balanced foods gradually being phased in.
At 11 months old my son was very excitable and loved life, he would rush about from room to room (crawling).
I hope this has helped to reassure you. If you are still concerned then I would speak to your health visitor or doctor.
Best wishes,

LJ gave you some wonderful advice. Your child needs to have opportunities to crawl and pull himself up and walk and even run (some babies start walking when they are 8 months old, and are running at 11 months).
Warm Regards,

I will give his approach (enabling encryption) to see if I can at least get that portion working, but whether it then works or not I definitely want to figure out why this isn't working without encryption!

The U.S. government, sometimes referred to as the "federal" government, has decided that a number of activities are criminal. These federal crimes are typically very serious and are tried in federal courts under special federal rules of procedure. Some examples of federal crimes include the use of biological weapons, acts of civil disorder, kidnapping, and racketeering, just to name a few. If you are accused of a federal crime, you should enlist the services of a federal crime lawyer who works with these federal laws and understands the federal courts and their procedures. This lawyer will be familiar not only with the elements of the crime you are charged with, but also with the defenses available to you.

Inside Lacrosse chatted live with six-time Major League Lacrosse Champion Brian Spallina via Google+ Hangout on Friday. The veteran defenseman comes off his second straight MLL title with the Chesapeake Bayhawks and also talked about his new endorsement deal with Wreckless Lacrosse, a new lacrosse lifestyle and apparel company.
Spallina is the only six-time MLL champion, having now won two with the Bayhawks, three with the Barrage and one with the Lizards. In 13 MLL seasons, he's only played less than 10 games once (in 2002 when he played in seven for Long Island). He's been successful in six of his eight playoff appearances.
The elementary school teacher is one of MLL's most ferocious defensemen, with an MLL-record 151 career penalty minutes. He also sits second all-time in games played at 134, just 16 behind leader Matt Striebel.
From Wreckless: "Wreckless is an apparel company that is dedicated to the growth of the sport through the world of fashion as a lifestyle brand, while providing the players with the essential clothing they need to participate in the style game. Brian Spallina will be a brand ambassador to Wreckless Lacrosse and do signings and appearances for Wreckless lacrosse.
This is the second time that he has won back-to-back championships. He is the only player in Major League Lacrosse history that needs two hands to hold all his rings. Spallina is the founder of Team 91 Lacrosse, a travel organization that provides an unparalleled level of teaching by MLL coaches and players. Wreckless provides practice and game apparel for Team 91 athletes for the 2014 season and forward. Spallina also sits on the MLL Player Council. He is a leader within the lacrosse community because of his involvement in growing the game.
Team Uniform and Apparel Orders Available. Wreckless Apparel will be in sporting goods stores December 1, 2013. Follow us @WrecklessLaxxx @Team91Lacrosse."

As regular readers of DeSmogBlog know, ExxonMobil has been a regular target of bad ink for their continued funding of "think" tanks and industry associations that spread misinformation about the scientific evidence for human-caused global warming.
While Exxon is continuously vilified as the leader of the attack on climate change science, the Koch Foundation is heavily involved in the same type of activity, but receives very little of the bad press.
Anyone want to start www.kochsecrets.org?
As regular readers of DeSmogBlog know, ExxonMobil has been a regular target of bad ink for their continued funding of "think" tanks and industry associations that spread misinformation about the scientific evidence for human-caused global warming.
However, an organization that you may not have heard of is equally guilty of such activities.
The Koch (pronounced "coke") Family of Foundations is run by David and Charles Koch, sons of the founder of Koch Industries, Fred Koch. Koch Industries is the world's largest privately owned company and while it now boasts a diversified portfolio of companies, it cut its teeth in the 1940's as an oil refining company and today produces 800,000 barrels of oil per day through one of its subsidiaries.
While Exxon is continuously vilified as the leader of the attack on climate change science, the Koch Foundation is heavily involved in the same type of activity, but receives very little of the bad press.
Some examples:
The Cato Institute was founded by Charles Koch in 1977, and has received a reported $13.2 million from the Koch Family foundations since 1986. Cato has received $110,000 from ExxonMobil since 1991.
The Heritage Foundation has received $2.4 million from Koch, while receiving $585,000 from ExxonMobil.
The Reason Foundation has received $2.2 million from Koch, while receiving $381,000 from ExxonMobil.
The Competitive Enterprise Institute received $666,000 from Koch, while receiving a whopping $2 million from ExxonMobil.
And the list goes on, but the media and NGO spotlight remains heavily focussed on the funding activities of the publicly traded oil company, while the private one remains, for the most part, private. We here at the DeSmogBlog are just as guilty of focusing most of our attention on the activities of ExxonMobil, as are many others. And why not. With ExxonMobil publicly disclosing its funding activities on an annual basis, they make an easy target.
In the Fall, 2006 the Royal Society in the UK issued a public letter demanding that ExxonMobil discontinue its think tank war on climate science and this demand was met with a small measure of success. ExxonSecrets.org, operated by Greenpeace, has done amazing work as well in this area. Such efforts are to be commended. However it is imperative that when it comes to such things we do not put on our Exxon blinders to the exclusion of all others.
To that end I have registered the website domain name www.kochsecrets.org if anyone is interested.

Some thoughts on your comments
What makes you think that the disappearnace of the glaciers on Mt. Kilimanjaro are not caused by global warming? Just because the local temperature may not show much of a rise does not immediately invalidate the concept of global warming. The theory that deforestation is the cause is just more junk science. The most probable reason is that global warming is causing increased temparatures in the Indian Ocean and that is causing major climate changes in the African continent (droughts in the interior and major flooding in coastal areas). This is pretty well accepted now.
As for the old canard about temperature change preceding CO2 rises this is discussed in a number of places. Realclimate is a good place to start:
As for the medieval warm period, there has been no evidence produced that there was a global increase in temperature during this period. There may, and even at that it is highly unlikely, that certain areas may have experienced a localized warming at that time. Please do not get excited about warming and wine making in Greenland, any warming there was very localized. It is unlikley that the Northern hemisphere experienced more than 0.2 degrees C of warming.
For information on the Antarctic see Realclimate:
If you read these articles and approach them with an open mind and know a little bit about science I think that you will be less inclined to believe the pseudo-science put out by the AGW deniers.

Kevin, you are arguing the position that we, the general public, can not be trusted to absorb, assimilate, or discard information that is presented to us. But we can, and we do.
Canada's government has spent vast sums of money, and so have environmental groups, on the dangers of AGW, yet the general public remains largely unmotivated to serious action.
I believe the real "enemy", if there is one, is us; average ordinary Canadian citizens. Something to think about. Regards,

Borrowing from the wisdom of rant-boy
Dear Ignoranus, the Cato Institute lost its credibility when, as a libertarian group, it supported stronger central government and reduced liberties at home in support of a "war on terror" which amounts to corporate welfare. If you held a consistent philosophy, you would know that. Also, you would not be able to write the above paragraph regarding Desmogblog without also applying the same argument to the Heartland Institute, etc.
Eco-Hitler replied on Permalink
Steve L's parallel universe
"Dear Ignoranus, the Cato Institute lost its credibility when, as a libertarian group, it supported stronger central government and reduced liberties at home in support of a "war on terror" which amounts to corporate welfare."
Do you even know what you're talking about? Evidently not.
In what alternate reality did the Cato Institute ever advocate a larger government in support of the war on terrorism? And what on Earth that would have to do with "corporate welfare", is anyone's guess.

I'll stop here because Cato's claims to libertarianism are quite distant from the topic of this post. The original post is about groups other than Exxon funding climate misinformation. Thanks Kevin, it's all well and good to point out Exxon's role, but it's also important to know that there are deep pockets elsewhere demanding the services of AEI etc.

Now, this isn't the place to argue the libertarian bonafides of other websites (sorry all), so I'll emplore you to read and to shove your underserved elitism wrt tolerance up any one of your equally unenlightened orifices.

Metasploit has it's own version of ruby which is independent of either ruby1.8 or ruby1.9.2.
I am unclear how you managed to mingle the msf ruby and the BT5 ruby....
Hi all,
I've seen that there are similar topic to this, but no one related to this issue.
I've tried with both kde and ubuntu bt5 and is always the same.
The problem.
By default bt5 uses ruby1.9.2 the problem is that there is no way to install gems, or better, seems like that interpreter can't load it.
I have metasploit 3.8 and i can't run it with ./msfconsole instead i must run it with ruby1.8 msfconsole and now i will explain why.
If I install pg via gem
gem install pg
it installs in the folder of ruby 1.9.2 but when you try to load it via irb i get the error:
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> require 'pg'
LoadError: no such file to load -- pg
from (irb):2:in `require'
from (irb):2
from /usr/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
So I've tried installing the driver with ruby1.8
gem1.8 install pg everything works fine:
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> require 'pg'
=> true
What drive me crazy ( and trust me I've spent 2 days before posting here ) is that the pg module is installed!
root@bt:/pentest/exploits# gem list --local | grep pg
pg (0.11.0)
I don't know what the problem is, anyway I've tried reinstalling rubygems and I've got this error:
update-alternatives: error: alternative gem can't be master: it is a slave of ruby
dpkg: error processing rubygems1.9.2 (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
By default of course I have ruby1.9.2.
Thanks in advance.
Metasploit has it's own version of ruby which is independent of either ruby1.8 or ruby1.9.2.
I am unclear how you managed to mingle the msf ruby and the BT5 ruby....
The best information security training, period.
Anyway how i can fix? i can't find other way for installing the postgresql module..
anyway i don't know what you mean with " has it's own version of ruby which is independent of either ruby1.8 or ruby1.9.2."
As far as i know it uses the version of the enviroment....
I'm having similar issues, but Metasploit will run for me. I'm having issues as described here concerning the pcaprub gem embedded in Metasploit (and I have not gotten the "recompile" fix described here to work either), however my min concern is with the BT5 ruby implementation as I was having a hell of a time getting my gems to load into my scripts.
The problem poizon describes here:
Is what I'm talking about. I've install ruby gems and have not been able to use them in my scripts, they I can verify both through gem list and the install location that they are there. However, I stumbled upon a work around and a possible cause for this behavior. In my install, if you print the ruby Gem.path variable, you get an array of two directories. One is the local user location (/user/.gem/blah/blah?) and the other is a location in the /usr directory. However, checking gem env shows that the install path and the gem directory there are both in /var. If you install gems using the --user-install (I think this is the option, I might be off in syntax, but gem help install should clear it up), you can then include your gems as you would normally be able to do. I've tried finding where the Gem.path array is set, and I thought it was going to be in rubygems/defaults.rb, but I couldn't find anything definitive. It seems that at least part of this would work as expected if that value could be changed. Until then, install your gems locally and they should be able to be loaded. As far as the Metasploit issue goes, I'm unsure of how that's going.#irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'rubygems'
=> false
irb(main):002:0> require 'pg'
LoadError: no such file to load -- pg
from (irb):2:in `require'
from (irb):2
from /usr/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'
Hi all,
Just had this problem and came up with what looks like a fix to it.
The problem is that the GEM_PATH isn't pointing to the location that ruby 1.9.2 is installing the gems into.
you can see the gem path by doing
ruby -r rubygems -e "p Gem.path"
and the path that a gem is installed into by doing
gem contents <gem name>
For my installation the gems are getting installed into /var/lib/gems/1.9.2/gems/ and the path in GEM_PATH is /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.2
so my resolution was
cd /usr/lib/ruby
ln -s /var/lib/gems gems
which seems to work
Have anyone tried to use RVM? (Ruby Version Manager) I just install it and at least for Rails it's cool.
The versions from the Repositories (1.9.2) always end with configuration errors, like the one above.
For what I have been reading that version it's very buggy.
I have the same problem. But the directory /var/lib/gems/1.9.2 contains no file or directory. I did re-install the "libruby" package, still the files are missing. By the installation I am getting this error, on the other hand: E: rubygems1.9.2: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Any hint?
ok so i am roughly new to the hole forum thing so please be easy if im in the wrong place please re direct me but im having issues with my gems when i do things wit SET like such
WARNING: File '/var/lib/gems/1.9.2/specifications/daemons-1.1.9.gemspec' does not evaluate to a gem specification
WARNING: File '/var/lib/gems/1.9.2/specifications/ansi-1.4.3.gemspec' does not evaluate to a gem specification
i was trying to backdoor into my comp is this normal and will it cause me issues?

Baharampur(Cochin) Overview
You can reach Baharampur(Cochin) from Kota by road in about using a cab upon driving using a cab.

Says it should work for slackware as well.
I've found a simple workaround: 'man 'command' | most', probably with the most.rc file 'borrowed' from Zenwalk provides colored man pages.
I'm trying to add some color to the man pages (since I'm using them all the time). So far I've added an 'export PAGER="most" statement to /root/.bashrc and a config file (?) /etc/most.rc 'borrowed' from my Zenwalk desktop installation.
This should do the trick. But it doesn't.
Can anybody help me please.
The MoD
Hi Pureh@te,
this is exactly the link I used to learn what to do.
Right now it doesn't work. Maybe because I've changed the wrong script file?
Will do some more investigations.
The MoD
Well it works for me in gentoo. Are you sure backtrack has "most" installed?
Version 4.10.2, it says. However, the directory /usr/most-version/ -as said in the howto on humanreadable (your link) - does not exist in BT
whereis most returns a lot of entries, most of them are for the man page or .../X11/... of most.

Kate Middleton Gets Waxed (No, Not Like That!) at Madame Tussauds
The Duchess of Cambridge is finally getting her own wax statue as part of the Royal Family at Madame Tussauds wax museum!
-Lucia Peters
Have you ever been to a Madame Tussauds? If you haven't, we highly recommend a trip; yes, they can be kind of touristy, but they also feature the most stunning wax sculptures you'll ever see (some of them even look more lifelike than their real-life counterparts!). For those of you not in the know, Madame Tussauds is a chain of wax museums with locations all over the globe. The museums feature everyone from celebrities to historical personages, but no matter which category you fall under, it's kind of a big deal when you become famous enough to earn a wax statue of your own.
And hey, guess what? Kate Middleton is finally getting her own wax figure! She'll be joining her Prince William (aka the Duke of Cambridge and Kate's hubby), Prince Harry, Prince Charles, Camilla, Diana, and (of course) the Queen in the Royal Family section of the museum this spring. But here's the big news: Kate's statue won't just be appearing at one of Madame Tussauds many locations. Nope: She'll be making her debut at FOUR of them. Why is this a big deal? Because this is the first time that it's ever happened. A rep for Madame Tussauds told People, "It is the first time that we have had a member of the royal family make their debut in multiple locations." Mazel tov!
So: What will all these Kate statues be wearing? Well, in London, she'll sport her iconic blue engagement dress by Issa:
In New York, the lilac, Grecian-inspired Alexander McQueen number she wore to the BAFTA gala in L.A.:
Read Are These William and Kate Royal Wedding Barbie Dolls Really Necessary?
In Amsterdam, the black lace Temperley dress from the War Horse premiere:
And in Blackpool, she'll be wearing Jenny Packham. We don't know which dress in particular yet, but we're hoping it's this romantic blush-colored gown from last June's ARK gala:
The rep for Madame Tussaud went on to tell People, "All four designers have been involved in making the dresses and the Duke and Duchess have kept informed at every stage of the creation process." The London, New York, and Amsterdam statues will all be unveiled simultaneously on April 4, while the Blackpool statue will make its first appearance later in April.
Madame Tussaud was a real person, by the way; born in 1761, Anna Maria Tussaud got her start in wax modeling when Dr. Philippe Curtius, a man who was employing her as a housekeeper, taught her the art of wax modeling. She managed to survive the French Revolution (though narrowly—she was almost beheaded), during which she made death masks, and in 1802, she moved to London and started what would become the Madame Tussaud's we know and love today.

BREVARD, N.C.- The Brevard College women's basketball team (8-13, 6-11 SAC) took a two-point lead on a pair of Taylor Hiatt free throws with 25 seconds left in the game but couldn't hold on against Coker College (11-10, 6-11 SAC) in a 65-64 loss at Boshamer Gymnasium on Saturday afternoon.
Coker's Tanesha Stenson answered Hiatt's free throws with a game-winning three-point play on the Cobras ensuing possession, completing the play with 19 seconds remaining.
Hiatt missed a three with nine seconds left to give the ball back to Coker before Madison Lenox stole the Cobras inbounds pass to give BC one more chance at the win.
The Tornados used their last timeout with six seconds left to draw up their final play, but Katie Williams' heavily contested layup was off the mark as time expired.
The Torndos took their only other lead of the game on the first possession of the second half with a layup from Shelby Wolfe.
Williams and Wolfe poured in a game-high 19 points apiece for the Tornados, while Williams added a game-high six assists. Hadara Bannister and Lenox both distributed three assists for BC while Lenox dropped 17 points.
Jessica Cohen helped the Cobras to their biggest lead of the game with a layup at the 3:53 mark in the second half to put Coker up eight points. Cohen led the Cobras with 17 points while teammate Priscilla Fenty had 12 points.
Brevard will host Carson-Newman at Bashamer Gymnasium on Monday at 6 p.m.

Best Contraceptive
I gave birth through ceasarian section 11 months ago. I am so scared to get pregnant accidentally again and so my partner and I are really very careful. I am not sure if this is the correct forum to discuss this but I would like to have ideas on experiences and what could you recommend regarding birth control.
Thank you.
23rd July 2013 02:20 AM #2
Hi bhebs23,
Thanks for your question - this is an issue that lots of new parents consider.
I will ask our midwife Jane if she would like to add any extra comments on this thread; in the meantime I will add my experience and advice below.
Condoms are over 98% effective (at preventing a pregnancy). Some women find they need to start using/ use extra lubrication after having a baby. This can make sex more comfortable.
If you are breastfeeding, you can still use the mini-pill. Some couples who particularly want to prevent a pregnancy use condoms alongside the pill. You do need to take the mini-pill at the same time each day. As life can get very busy with a baby or toddler you may want to set a reminder on your phone to take it.
You can also have injections which last between 8 and 12 weeks depending on the type of injection. The Depo Provera injection is generally thought to be safe for breastfeeding mums. However, you should consider when/ if you want to conceive again as these injections can reduce fertility for up to a year after the injections.
The following forms of contraception should be avoided if you are breastfeeding as they can affect your milk supply: the combination pill, monthly injection (Lunelle), the vaginal ring (Nuvaring) and the contraceptive patch (Orth Evra).
Some couples choose to use natural birth control - there is a thread on natural birth control here which you may find useful.
I hope this information is useful to you. Please do post back if you have any further questions.
Best wishes,
23rd July 2013 06:36 AM #3
Contraception alternatives
Hi bhebs23 - I will just add a little to Laura Jane's comments on contraception. If you have a Family Planning Centre near you they can go through all your options in detail. Otherwise visiting a women's health doctor or nurse is another option. Many GPs have done family planning training - like the GPs at the PBB Health Centre.
Other options of contraception include:
- Diaphram - like the condom the diaphram is a barrier method of contracteption. The diaphram is generally made with latex and is spring loaded. It is placed inside the vagina and prevents sperm reaching the cervix.
- IUD - this is a T-shaped device that is inserted inside the uterus and is left in place for long term contraception. It is highly successful at 99.2% effectiveness. You would need to talk to a doctor experienced in inserted IUDs.
- Implanon - this is a hormonal form of contraception that is inserted under the skin of your upper arm. It is rod shaped and is made from a hormone called progestogen.
I hope you find this information helpful

Not So Fast!
Authorities say a Melrose businessman has been charged with defrauding two businesses out of nearly $50,000.
State police in Saratoga County say on Monday they charged 48-year-old Allan ``Rick'' Anderson with two counts of grand larceny.
Investigators say Anderson, the owner-operator of Titan Power Systems LLC, was hired to install a thermal solar hot water system in one case and a solar wind turbine in another. Police say he defrauded the businesses out of $49,000.
Officials say Anderson's business has had multiple complaints made against it, earning his firm an ``F'' rating from the Better Business Bureau.
Anderson was released from Saratoga County Jail after posting $10,000 bail.

Jay Z & Beyonce attend Trayvon Martin rally in Manhattan
Listen to Jay Z on iHeartRadio | Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Jay-Z and Beyoncé are showing their support for the family of Trayvon Martin - the Florida teenager killed last year by George Zimmerman.
Earlier this month, Zimmerman was acquitted on charges of second degree murder and manslaughter. According to the "New York Daily News," the hip-hop power couple took to the streets Saturday, attending a rally in Manhattan in protest of Stand Your Ground laws and in support of Trayvon Martin.
Alongside Jay and Bey was Trayvon's mother, Sybrina Fulton, as well as civil rights icon Reverend Al Sharpton. During the rally, Sharpton praised Jay-Z and Beyoncé as "two of the baddest artists that's ever been." Their presence was also felt through Jay-Z's song "Empire State of Mind," which apparently played as the gathering was wrapping up.
Taking the stage at Yankee Stadium Friday, Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake dedicated Jay's song "Forever Young" to Trayvon. The two are currently on their "Legends of the Summer" tour.

'The Rangers had a pair of shorthanded goals in the game, but it was Callahan's that was the backbreaker. With Brandon Dubinsky in the box for boarding and the score tied 1-1, Callahan picked up the puck at the Rangers blueline and raced into the Buffalo zone. While Christian Ehrhoff was able to close the gap on him in front, Callahan held on to the puck, spun to his left and slid the puck through Jhonas Enroth's legs.'

I CLASSED, appraising once,
Earth's lamentable sounds; the welladay,
The jarring yea and nay,
The fall of kisses on unanswering clay,
[5] The sobbed farewell, the welcome mournfuller;—
But all did leaven the air
With a less bitter leaven of sure despair,
Than these words—'I loved ONCE.'
And who saith, 'I loved ONCE?'
[10] Not angels, whose clear eyes, love, love, foresee,
Love through eternity!
Who, by To Love, do apprehend To Be.
Not God, called LOVE, his noble crown-name,—casting
A light too broad for blasting!
[15] The great God changing not from everlasting,
Saith never, 'I loved ONCE.'
Nor ever the 'Loved ONCE,'
Dost THOU say, Victim-Christ, misprized friend!
The cross and curse may rend;
[20] But, having loved, Thou lovest to the end!
It is man's saying—man's! Too weak to move
One sphered star above,
Man desecrates the eternal God-word Love
With his No More, and Once.
[25] How say ye, 'We loved once,'
Blasphemers? Is your earth not cold enow,
Mourners, without that snow?
Ah, friends! and would ye wrong each other so?
And could ye say of some, whose love is known,
[30] Whose prayers have met your own,
Whose tears have fallen for you, whose smiles have shone,
Such words, 'We loved them ONCE?'
Could ye, 'We loved her once,'
Say calm of me, sweet friends, when out of sight?
[35] When hearts of better right
Stand in between me and your happy light?
And when, as flowers kept too long in the shade,
Ye find my colours fade,
And all that is not love in me, decayed?
[40] Such words—Ye loved me ONCE!
Could ye 'We loved her once,'
Say cold of me, when further put away
In earth's sepulchral clay?
When mute the lips which deprecate to-day?—
[45] Not so! not then—least then! when Life is shriven,
And Death's full joy is given,—
Of those who sit and love you up in Heaven,
Say not, 'We loved them once.'
Say never, ye loved ONCE!
[50] God is too near above, the grave, below,
And all our moments go
Too quickly past our souls, for saying so!
The mysteries of Life and Death avenge
Affections light of range—
[55] There comes no change to justify that change,
Whatever comes—Loved ONCE!
And yet that word of ONCE
Is humanly acceptive! Kings have said,
Shaking a discrowned head,
[60] 'We ruled once,'—idiot tongues, 'We once bested,'—
Cripples once danced i' the vines—and bards approved,
Were once by scornings, moved!
But love strikes one hour—LOVE. Those never loved,
Who dream that they loved ONCE.

I believe in the here and the now approaches to therapy, such as Reality, Person Centered, Solution Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapies, however, sometimes it is beneficial to explore a client's past experiences to look at hurts, needs, behavior patterns, etc. in order to make positive changes in their current lives. The past does sometimes affect ones current behavior and attitude. It is necessary sometimes to hear a clients past to help them recover and rebuild from their hurts. To accept and let it go, realizing they are still lovable, worthwhile, and can be successful and happy. I use a thorough assessment and behavioral techniques to help validate and encourage clients.

Feminism | Posted by Crystal on 04/25/2012
I work as a bagger in a grocery store where the majority of my co-workers are male. Ever heard someone say something like, "To him, women are just a piece of meat?" Well, that's the mentality of most guys at my work place.
The men at my workplace discuss women a lot. They have a phrase for them even: they call women "burgers." Often when a few guys are on break or about to get off work, they talk with the other guys about how they are going to go get some "burgers." Then they discuss what they want on their "burgers." Lettuce for pubic hair. Bacon for under age of consent. Toasted bun if they want the girl to be intoxicated. And so on. …

Sharp as a flaming arrow and as explosive as when one hits a powderkeg, "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" is the rousing, thought-provoking action epic the first movie failed to be.
Give the credit to star Jennifer Lawrence, an Oscar under her belt and determined to show her mettle, and director Francis Lawrence (no relation), who provides the pacing and the gravity the series needs as novelist Suzanne Collins' series grows into an epic drama set in a world on the brink of revolution.
That potential for revolution was sparked in the first film, when Katniss Everdeen (played by Miss Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson), from Panem's poor mining region District 12, were the upset victors of the 74th Hunger Games and defied the rules by surviving the kill-or-be-killed televised spectacle as co-champions. And it's that spark that President Snow (Donald Sutherland) wants snuffed out.
First, Snow threatens Katniss' family and her true love, Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), if she doesn't play along with the official story line that she and Peeta are actually lovers. Katniss and Peeta try to keep up the pretense during a post-games tour of the districts, but the public protests get louder and harder to quell. Snow decides Katniss must be eliminated.
Not so fast, suggests Plutarch Heavensbee (Philip Seymour Hoffman), the newly installed game master and easily the movie's most fascinating new character. Heavensbee's idea comes right out of the reality-TV playbook: an all-star edition, with Katniss, Peeta and other past victors returning for another run through the deadly game. If the public sees Katniss betraying her allies in the arena, Heavensbee tells Snow, "they're gonna hate her so much they just might kill her for you."
Katniss and Peeta again have their friends outside the game: boozy former victor Haymitch Abernathy (Woody Harrelson), plastic-haired image consultant Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) and the soulful fashion designer Cinna (Lenny Kravitz). In the ring, the District 12 stars find new allies in the muscular Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin), ax-swinging Johanna Mason (Jena Malone) and the tech-savvy Beetee (Jeffrey Wright) and Wiress (Amanda Plummer).
With a screenplay that passed from Simon Beaufoy ("Slumdog Millionaire") through Michael Arndt ("Toy Story 3," but taking a pseudonym here), the director Lawrence ("I Am Legend," "Water for Elephants") builds up the emotional drama in the first half. Once Katniss & Co. hit the arena, he delivers strong action sequences, which are more crisp and coherent than the stomach-turning handheld work director Gary Ross employed in the first film.
More than in the first film, Jennifer Lawrence holds "Catching Fire" together by delivering Katniss' many moods: post-traumatic shock, steely determination, romantic confusion and burning defiance. Her Katniss has to keep us involved, as she's the pivot for the movie's inconclusive ending, which sets us up for the two-part finale, "Mockingjay" (which Francis Lawrence also will direct, for release in 2014 and 2015). As long as the two Lawrences stay on target, as they do in "Catching Fire," their end product could set the world on fire.

Discussion in 'Sports Zone' started by TheCowboy, Feb 26, 2012.
Expecting a great race like the Nationwide series race yesterday. Go Jr!
I'm expecting a rain out.
Looking forward to it....Go Jeff Gordon
hopefully a quick wreck by Danica so we won't have 2 hours of closeups of her running 35th.
Thank God for the lights in Daytona if the rain continues until tonight.
This will be the first Daytona 500 ever postponed for rain.
Sucks. Having your biggest event of the season on a Monday afternoon is a ratings nightmare for Nascar.
Is it officially delayed?
The race is delayed but not idea as to when they'll run it. They're going to try to get it in tonight. NASCAR will be updating the situation around 4pm EST.
It's not postponed yet but the radar doesn't look good and it takes 2 to 3 hours to dry the track.
I'd say it's a real longshot to get it in today.
*looking at the radar* Yeah they will be racing tomorrow
This is really bad for Nascar. Can you imagine the NFL having to play the Super Bowl on Monday afternoon?
Oh my God.
I know they do this for every delayed race but come on they should not make the Daytona 500 rescheduled on a Monday afternoon. I was so pumped for the race and now I can not even watch it. Great...
I have been a huge advocate of having all NASCAR Cup races on Saturday or Saturday evenings for this very reason.That way, in case of a rain out they still have Sunday to get the race in. I know it might would conflict with College football during the season but they don't mind competing with the NFL. Further it really shouldn't be an issue for them to be worried about other leagues.
These tracks are capable of running multiple events each day especially since they can now light all the tracks. I think it's foolish to put all your eggs in one basket then have it turn out like this.
I will have the race on in my office but don't know how much I will be able to pay attention to it. Thank God for my DVR!
Wow was I so pumped when I saw this was delayed from my twitter account. Smartest move by NASCAR in a long time!
Interesting race. Gotta love Montoya plowing into a jet fuel truck and igniting a blazing furnace that damaged the track. Gotta love Danica getting put out right off the bat. Gotta love Junior snatching defeat from the jaws of victory again. But most of all, gotta love that they FINALLY got this race finished! I was off to bed the second it was over, and it was 12:59 AM EST. Boggle.
How exactly did Jr snatched defeat from victory?
Just by failing to win again Didn't mean to imply that he had a lead and messed up.
OK. I had watched the race lastnight and did not see anything Jr did that was wrong. Great way to start the NASCAR season for Jr
Carl Edwards wins the pole for tomorrows race. Unfortunately Jr is like 35th to start...

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West's Chinatown Photo Shoot Smooch
With her demanding career not even affording her 24 hours off on Mother's Day, Kim Kardashian was hard at work in Chinatown, Los Angeles on Sunday (May 13).
The E! reality hottie donned a shorter 'do and sexy black frock as hair, makeup and wardrobe staffers got everything just right for a fashion magazine photo shoot.
Also getting a special visit on set from her rap star beau Kanye West - with whom she shared a smooch in between poses - Miss Kardashian tweeted of the day's doings, "Happy Mothers Day!!! Had an amazing breakfast with the family...now off to a special shoot today!"
Meanwhile, Kim also took time to pen a heartfelt message to all of the mothers in her tight-knit family - including her mom, Kris Jenner, her sister, Kourtney, and her grandma, MJ.
Posting the note on her personal website, the 31-year-old told, "To my mom on Mother's Day. I love you more than you know. You are more than my mother, you are my best friend. You have always been there for me no matter what, and my sisters, my brother and I are all so lucky to have you. Where would I be without you?
To Kourtney, my big sister and the most incredible mom to Mason. I am so proud to call you my sister and my friend. This next next year we will have another little angel with us, and I can't wait to meet her. You are such an amazing mom to Mason and I know you'll be the best mom in the world to your new daughter.
To my grandma MJ, you are my inspiration and I love you so much!
To all the moms and grandma's out there, Happy Mother's Day!"

Sketch Blog Hiatus/George Bush Adventures
I'm not doing a sketch today, and possibly tomorrow either, because I'm resurrecting a little pet project I started almost a year ago, after I had a really entertaining dream about an old school 8-bit RPG (a la "Final Fantasy," "Dragon Quest," etc) where you played as George Bush and tried to save the world from terrorists and homosexuals. Determined to make it a reality, I found some really cool Japanese software that lets you create your own old-school RPGs, and I began tinkering around with it in my spare time. But like most of my pet projects, it fell to the back burner and remained neglected for many months... until now. I'm going to put a little time in on this here and there and see if I can get at least a demo together. I have the first two areas done: Inside and outside Bush's Texas ranch. I'm currently working on the protest scene outside the ranch, which is pretty complicated. In the meantime, here are some in-development screenshots of the soon-to-be-legendary GEORGE BUSH SUPER ULTIMATE ADVENTURE!!

Suspension overhaul and Koni FSD impressions
I completed my suspension overhaul before Christmas and gave a member my impressions in a private e-mail when I realized other people might be interested; thus, the thread......
Yes, the suspension is all in. In addition to the Koni FSD's, I did the entire front end (control arms, tie rods, end links, polyurethane sway bar bushings, and strut mounts) and the rear (powerflexx polyurethane rear trailing arm bushings (RTAB) - HUGE difference BTW....highly recommended!, polyurethane sway bar bushings, strut mounts - no new control arms or bushings at this point). Then threw on a new set of Michelin Super Sport tires all around and had it aligned.
I did this work in stages as follows;
1) the entire front end
2) the RTAB'ings
3) rear shocks and mounts
4) alignment
5) Tires
Therefore, I got a feel for the changes as I was working through the project. After doing the front end, I couldn't really tell any difference with the Koni's in place which also had to do with the fact the alignment was out a bit. When I replaced the RTAB, wow what a difference to the overall feel of the car particularly the stability in the rear end through corners and under acceleration. When I finished the rear end suspension, I didn't notice much of a difference. The alignment helped, but more as a piece of mind that all was in place correctly. Once I threw on the new tires, it all came together immediately.
Now that it all came together, it's now winter here in Vancouver, Canada so it is wet and cold at ~40 degrees. Therefore, I haven't got the opportunity to push the car really hard, but so far here are my impressions of the Koni's;
1) At city speeds or slower speeds, the Koni's are not noticeable and pretty much indescript, if anything I'd call them 'soft'. I imagine from what I've read, if I'd had gone with Bilstein's performance or HD, it would give a 'firmer' ride feel at all speeds. This is NOT so with the Koni's.
2) At higher speeds, 60+ miles an hour, they really start working. Even before the new tires and alignment, it felt like it was on rails the faster you would go. After the alignment, it only got better at higher speeds. The car feels COMPLETELY stable even when pushing to 100+. I'm really impressed. Highway speeds, are a sheer pleasure. On top of that, the ride is smooth and not harsh in any way. Almost feels "graceful".
3) When cornering hard, again, the koni's come into their own. The car feels like it's stability increases and it also become very predictable which I'm sure also has to do with all the other work done. But, it is apparent the dampening on the shocks are definitely working. Again, the car feels 'graceful". I'm not sure how else to describe it. However, at low speeds (~ 10 -15 miles per hour) when flicking the wheel of the car back and forth, it doesn't seem to firm up the shocks so tends to feel "loose". Not sure it matters that much because at the speed you should still have plenty of control over the car.
In conclusion, I'm very happy with how they perform especially when you push them and need them. It really is an odd shock though. It just shows up (does its thing?) out of no where when you start hitting it. Its not like you feel them "come on" like a turbo or something. They are "just there" when you need them. They are very chameleon like. There is no doubt they are a great shock and a great purchase for the price - I got mine for $635 shipped. However, I can understand how others would prefer the firm "it is there" feel of other shocks particularly at slower speeds. Other than that, I haven't experienced any other draw backs.
[Edit: Additional conclusions from further driving is the car feels lighter than it had with the stock suspension - the wife has also noticed it. I haven't been able to figure out why, but I'm "guessing" it is the Koni's as I don't believe any of the other suspension parts would have made this kind of difference. Again, this is only a guess on my part.
The lightness of the suspension suits highway driving as I noted above there is no harshness in these Koni's. However, I find the "lightness" (or gracefulness?) challenging as I'm a bit of a hamfisted driver with little dexterity. Therefore, I think the stock heaver feeling suspension better suited my driving style. In no way am I criticizing these Koni's, they just seem they may not match my gorilla like driving style.]
As a matter of information and my opinion, the really noticeable surprises in the suspension job were;
1) RTAB. They are a MUST in my opinion. Maybe mine were really worn out - although they didn't like they were from a visual inspection - but what a difference in the stability of the rear end of the car; obviously, improving the overall stability of the car.
2) Tires. I originally had the Michelin Pilot Sports on the car when I got it. I was really happy with the tire, but ended up replacing them with the BF Goodrich G-Force as I was being a tight wad. What a mistake! I hated those BF's from the day I got them on the car. IMHO, the old worn out Michelin Pilot Sports where better than the new BF's. Going back to the Michelin Super Pilot Sport has been sheer heaven. I don't think I will ever change away again. And, BTW, Costco carries them.
One other item of note, is the polyurethane bushings in the sway bars are a very nice touch. Between them and the RTAB, the poly gives a touch more firmness and noise when hitting square ended lips on the road, but, other than that, they seem unnoticeable except to firm up the car so it has less of a roll "feel" when cornering. It really gives you a good impression of what an upgraded role bar could do for the car. I would recommend them although most say the sway bar is the last item on your list for suspension upgrades.
Hopefully, this will be helpful to a few folks.

100% agree on the FSD description. I have the Eibach Pro-kit as well, and it is a very sorted, comfortable set up. Great analysis of suspension parts to upgrade as well.
Great writing!
Also...I LOVE my Michelin PSS tires. Cost more, but are excellent in every regard. Comfortable, sticky, quiet, light.

My Ride: so turbo wow
Woo! This is basically what I'm going to do as well. I dunno if I'll go polyurethane for RTABs because I'm afraid it will really compromise ride quality

Zell - I avoided poly for the same reason. You may get a tighter ride and more control, but I wasn't willing to risk it. I'm VERY happy with M3 rtabs with limiters.

Zell - I went with the polyurethane RTAB to avoid having to do the preload setup required for the non-poly RTAB'ings. It was a "chance" I was willing to take to avoid the extra effort and chance of screwing up the preload. I'm sure any new RTAB is going to make a big difference which was more my point with respect to the RTAB rather than it was the "poly" RTAB that made the specific difference. In saying that, I definitely don't regret using poly RTAB's as I have absolutely no complaints.
There seems to be a lot of debate about the polyurethane bushings being louder and harsher than the rubber ones. IMO, I think they are slightly louder over rougher roads (I image the noise would be more pronounced over concrete interstates), but not necessarily harsher. Instead of harsher, I would call them "firmer" in their response to bumps. Now this could be because the Koni FSD's take up the "harshness" and turn them into "firmness", I don't know, but I still wouldn't call them harsh. It is really difficult to confirm given all the changes to the suspension.
BWOODM3 - I purchased the parts from a number stores as no one store was the cheapest. There are a number of forums on here which lay out the list of parts depending on what you want to do. From there, I just did searches on the parts, but ended up using Bimmer World, ECS Tunning, and Pelican Parts.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a problem of not being able to focus, being overactive, not being able control behavior, or a combination of these. For these problems to be diagnosed as ADHD, they must be out of the normal range for a person's age and development.
Causes of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
ADHD usually begins in childhood, but may continue into the adult years. It is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder in children. ADHD is diagnosed much more often in boys than in girls.
It is not clear what causes ADHD. A combination of genes and environmental factors likely plays a role in the development of the condition. Imaging studies suggest that the brains of children with ADHD are different from those of children without ADHD.
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder Symptoms
Symptoms of ADHD fall into three groups:
- Not being able to focus (inattentiveness)
- Being extremely active (hyperactivity)
- Not being able to control behavior (impulsivity)
Some people with ADHD have mainly inattentive symptoms. Some have mainly hyperactive and impulsive symptoms. Others have a combination of different symptom types. Those with mostly inattentive symptoms are sometimes said to have attention deficit disorder (ADD). They tend to be less disruptive and are more likely not to be diagnosed with ADHD.
Inattentive Symptoms
- Fails to give close attention to details or makes careless mistakes in schoolwork
- Has difficulty keeping attention during tasks or play
- Does not seem to listen when spoken to directly
- Does not follow through on instructions and fails to finish schoolwork or chores and tasks
- Has problems organizing tasks and activities
- Avoids or dislikes tasks that require sustained mental effort (such as schoolwork)
- Often loses toys, assignments, pencils, books, or tools needed for tasks or activities
- Is easily distracted
- Is often forgetful in daily activities
Hyperactivity Symptoms
- Fidgets with hands or feet or squirms in seat
- Leaves seat when remaining seated is expected
- Runs about or climbs in inappropriate situations
- Has problems playing or working quietly
- Is often "on the go," acts as if "driven by a motor"
- Talks excessively
Impulsivity Symptoms
- Blurts out answers before questions have been completed
- Has difficulty awaiting turn
- Interrupts or intrudes on others (butts into conversations or games)
Tests and Exams
If ADHD is suspected, the person should be evaluated by a health care professional. There is no test that can make or exclude a diagnosis of ADHD. The diagnosis is based on a pattern of the symptoms listed above. When the person with suspected ADHD is a child, parents and teachers are usually involved during the evaluation process.
Most children with ADHD have at least one other developmental or mental health problem. This problem may be a mood, anxiety or substance use disorder; a learning disability; or a tic disorder. A doctor can help determine whether these other conditions are present.
Treatment of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
Treating ADHD is a partnership between the health care provider and the patient. If the patient is a child, parents and often teachers are involved. For treatment to work, it is important to:
- Set specific, appropriate goals.
- Start medicine and/or talk therapy.
- Follow-up regularly with the doctor to check on goals, results, and any side effects of medicines. During these visits, information should be gathered from the patient and if relevant, parents and teachers.
If treatment does not seem to work, the health care provider will likely:
- Confirm the person has ADHD.
- Check for medical conditions that can cause similar symptoms.
- Make sure the treatment plan is being followed.
Medicine combined with behavioral treatment often works best. There are several different ADHD medicines that may be used alone or in combination. The health care provider will decide which medicine is right based on the person's symptoms and needs.
Psychostimulants (also known as stimulants) are the most commonly used ADHD medicines. Although these drugs are called stimulants, they actually have a calming effect in people with ADHD.
Follow the health care provider's instructions on how to take ADHD medicine.
Some ADHD medicines have side effects. If the person has side effects, contact the health care provider right away. The dosage or medicine itself may need to be changed.
Therapy for both the patient and if relevant, the family, can help everyone understand and gain control of the stressful feelings related to ADHD.
A common type of ADHD therapy is called behavioral therapy. It teaches children and parents healthy behaviors and how to manage disruptive behaviors. For mild cases of ADHD, behavioral therapy alone (without medicine) can sometimes be effective.
Support groups can help the person and family connect with others who have similar problems.
Other tips to help a child with ADHD include:
- Talk regularly with the child's teacher.
- Keep a consistent daily schedule, including regular times for homework, meals, and outdoor activities. Make changes to the schedule in advance and not at the last moment.
- Limit distractions in the child's environment.
- Make sure the child gets a healthy, varied diet, with plenty of fiber and basic nutrients.
- Make sure the child gets enough sleep.
- Praise and reward good behavior.
- Provide clear and consistent rules for the child.
There is little proof that alternative treatments for ADHD such as herbs, supplements, and chiropractic are helpful.
Prognosis (Outlook)
ADHD is a long-term, chronic condition. If it is not treated correctly, ADHD may lead to:
- Drug and alcohol abuse
- Not doing well in school
- Problems keeping a job
- Trouble with the law
One third to one half of children with ADHD continue to have symptoms of inattention or hyperactivity-impulsivity as adults. Adults with ADHD are often able to control behavior and mask difficulties.
When to Contact a Health Professional
Call the doctor if you or your child's school staff suspect ADHD. You should also tell the doctor about:
- Problems at home, school, and with peer relationships
- Side effects of ADHD medicine
- Signs of depression

The coin-op industry is marking several landmark anniversaries this summer.
Atari Games was founded 40 years ago -- June 27, 1972, in Milpitas, CA. Famed for such coin-op titles as Marble Madness, Paperboy and Gauntlet, Atari was sold to Warner Communications in 1984, to Namco the following year and to Midway Games in 1996. The latter shuttered Atari in 2003, but the name has been revived as a consumer videogame source.
To celebrate the company's 40th anniversary and that of its most famous game – Pong -- Atari hosted a Developers Challenge with a $50,000 prize for creating the best new Atari game app.
Atari founder Nolan Bushnell is also the originator of Chuck E. Cheese's, which he launched 35 years ago. The arcade-pizzeria, which just updated its eponymous mascot this year, is still going strong with 558 locations.
Canada is marking the 25th anniversary of the $1 coin, known familiarly as the "Loonie" for its depiction of a typical Canadian waterfowl, the loon. The coin began circulating on June 30, 1987. Canada's $1 banknote was removed from circulation at the same time, ensuring the coin's success. Some 1.5 billion Loonies have been minted since 1987.
The coin also proved something of a popular favorite, leading to the release of a $2 Loonie, called the Toonie, in 1996. The Canadian Mint has issued a special commemorative Toonie to mark the Loonie's 25th anniversary; it sells for $34.95. | SEE STORY

CWD is a serious neurologic disease affecting elk, white-tailed and mule deer. Although it has been associated with captive deer and elk in the past, CWD has more recently been found in free-ranging white-tailed deer in the Midwest. This disease has been a serious concern for a number of western and plains states for the last several years and has now been found in free-ranging white-tailed deer in Illinois and Wisconsin.
Although the methods of transmission are not completely known, evidence suggests that infected animals may transmit the disease by animal-to-animal contact or by environmental contamination. CWD is always fatal to the infected animal and there is only a limited diagnostic test available to detect CWD in live animals.
While CWD is related to other well-known diseases, such as scrapie in sheep, bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease) and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in humans, public health officials have not found any evidence that CWD in deer or elk can be transmitted to humans. For more info on precautions for hunters click here.
Beginning Oct. 27, 2003, farmed-cervid owners will have the opportunity to import into Indiana cervidae that meet specific health requirements, under an importation permit issued by the office of the Indiana State Veterinarian.
The specific criteria for importation was adopted by members of the Indiana State Board of Animal Health, during their July meeting, following a public hearing and comment period.
A summary of the key criteria for cervid importation can be viewed on line by clicking here. The full text of Indiana's importation laws may be found at 345 IAC 1-3.
If you have any questions regarding CWD or other deer diseases, you can contact the Indiana Board of Animal Health at 1-877-747-3038 (toll free) or the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Fish and Wildlife at (317) 232-4080.
CWD has not been reported in Indiana. To guard against the possible occurrence and spread of CWD, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health (BOAH) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) are working to prevent the importation of diseased animals into Indiana and to monitor wild deer and captive deer and elk for any signs of the disease.
DNR biologists and state animal health officials staffed deer hunting check stations on opening weekend of firearms season to test deer for disease. The 5,400+ deer tissue samples tested did not show any signs of CWD. This deer season, biologists will continue to focus sample collection in northwest Indiana (due to confirmed cases of CWD in northern Illinois) and around deer farms.
There is no known connection between CWD in deer and any diseases in humans. And CWD is not known to be present in Indiana. For information on maximum precautions that you can take, click here.
If the deer you have harvested tests positive for CWD, you will be notified by mail. If your deer does not test positive for CWD, you will NOT be notified, though you can get updates on the monitoring program here. No samples that were collected in 2002 or 2003 showed signs of the disease.
Sign up for Wild Bulletin to get updates on CWD testing via email.
This is a personal choice. There is no known connection between CWD in deer and any diseases in humans. The CWD sampling that we are conducting is not a meat safety test. It is a check on the health status of our deer herd. Test results may not be available while the meat is at it's best. Get updates on test results at deerhealth.IN.gov.
DNR biologists and BOAH veterinarians will continue active CWD surveillance programs.
Biologists will man deer check stations during peak periods of the firearms deer hunting season. They will ask hunters to voluntarily donate samples of deer for testing. Biologists won't be able to sample every deer. They will be actively seeking deer from counties in northwest Indiana and at scattered other locations across the state to get a statistically accurate sample.
No. Participation in the CWD monitoring program is optional.
There is no way to tell if a deer is infected with CWD by appearance. DNR officials recommend that hunters not process or consume any deer that is obviously ill or emaciated. Click here for precautions.
While field dressing your deer, look for white or red- blister-like sores (lesions) on internal organs or inside of the carcass. In the unlikely event you see lesions, exercise caution in handling the animal.
Do not proceed with further processing until the carcass is examined by a State Board of Animal Health veterinarian. Refrigerate (or ice down) the carcass if possible.
Keep the animal, including the head, intact until examined. To contact a veterinarian, call 1-877-747-3038 (toll free). This number is answered Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Messages left on weekends or holidays will be returned as soon as possible. A veterinarian will advise you, free-of-charge, about the appropriate use of the animal and may collect tissue samples for further testing.
By reporting any suspicious lesion, you are helping to protect the health status of Indiana's white-tailed deer resource.
If you submit your deer for further testing, the DNR will replace your permanent/temporary deer tag to allow revalidation of your existing license.
After field dressing or handling any carcass or other raw meat, wash your hands with soap and water. Hand washing removes disease-causing bacteria, including tuberculosis. This practice should always be followed, even if the animal appears healthy.
Fragmenting by lead bullets has been a hot topic in recent years following research out of North Dakota and Minnesota that found lead bullet fragments in deer meat at food pantries. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention conducted a follow up study confirming a link between lead levels and wild game consumption. Lead is a toxic substance, and exposure may pose health risks to hunters and their families, especially children and pregnant women.
Previous research has focused on ammunition from high-velocity center fire rifles, which are prohibited for deer hunting in Indiana. The Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW) recently conducted a study on whether fragmentation was a concern for deer hunters given their most popular ammunition choices: rifled slugs, sabot slugs, and conical in-line muzzleloader bullet.
The DFW found evidence of fragmentation in each of the 43 deer sampled. The muzzleloader bullets had the most fragments and the greatest average distance traveled by fragments from the exit wound. The average distance a fragment traveled was typically between 1 and 2 ½ inches, though the furthest traveled just over 8 inches from the exit wound. Simply gutting the deer often removed 45-57% of the total fragments.

Photo Gallery: Shabbat service
REDLANDS - Congregation Emanu El held its first Shabbat services Friday evening at its brand-new 15,000-square-foot synagogue at 1495 Ford St.
Many hugs and a few tears were seen at the congregation's new facility, which will serve as a place of worship as well as classroom and office space to the Jewish community of Redlands and neighboring cities.
The congregation, transplanted from San Bernardino, first broke ground on the new synagogue in September 2011.
And on Friday evening, the smell of new paint still filled the synagogue as congregation members gathered in time for Friday night services to begin.
Many congregation members were astonished at how good the building looked. There were comments on its beauty and amenities.
An outdoor patio also provides an area for reflection and an opportunity to see the view of the mountains surrounding Redlands.
"I'm overwhelmed. It's just beautiful," commented one congregation member
Friday night's Shabbat services were preceded by the affixing of mezuzas on the synagogue's entry doorposts, the placement of Torah scrolls in the Holy Ark and the lighting of the Eternal Light above the ark.
Rabbi Doug Kohn called the religious facility a blessing.
"This is a gift to the Jewish people," he said. "This is the oldest congregation in Southern California and the newest synagogue, as of this evening, and so it is a gift to the Jewish world, the Southern California Jewish community and to the community of Redlands, California, and the Inland Empire."
Before coming to Redlands, the congregation was located at 34th and E streets in San Bernardino for 50 years, but traces its roots in the San Bernardino Valley as far back as 1851.
The congregation was officially charted by the state in 1891.
Once in Redlands, it took up residence at a temporary facility at 1473 Ford St. until enough funds were raised to build and design the new synagogue and until its construction was complete.
Jeff Spears, a longtime member and a capital campaign co-chair who helped raise funds for the new facility, expressed joy while walking into the synagogue for the first time.
"I'm coming out of my skin," he said. "I'm so excited. I walk into this room and I feel spiritual and I feel close to the higher power of God. I feel God in this building. It's an absolutely unbelievably significant moment in the life of this congregation.
"It's so wonderful."
The congregation's first morning Shabbat service and Torah reading in the new synagogue will be held today, starting at 10 a.m.
An open house for the public to tour the new facility will be held in the spring.
To learn more, visit emanuelsb.org or contact the congregation's office at 909-307-0400.

WWE is so much better than fake MMA its insane. MMA fighters dont have chins they get KO'd in like 3mins while WWE FIGHTERS take punches for about 30mins no stop ! WWE guys also get hit in the face with chairs and hammers , this is so much more of a bloodsport than MMA.
Fights are hyped up so much more ! i mean no mma fighters are sleeping with their opponents girlfriends to rile them up and give them the advantage, this happens once a year in wwe !
Kurt Angle would beat up all MMA fighters and brock lesnar nearly did ! also put undertakes in with any ufc fighter on wrestlemania night and he will win also ! chyna would also destroy cyborg back in the day !

The French chateau style house at Kimberly Crest was built in 1897 and is considered a well preserved example of the Victorian Era in California.
Kimberly Crest was originally built by Cornelia A. Hill, a widow from New York state, who commissioned architects Oliver Dennis and Lyman Farwell to design a house in the style of the 16th-century chateaux of France's Loire Valley.
The home is likely better known for its subsequent owners, J. Alfred Kimberly-cofounder of the Kimberly-Clark Corp.-and his wife Helen Cheney Kimberly who bought the house in 1905.
Their daughter, Mary Kimberly Shirk, lived in the home after being widowed and remained there until her death in 1979.
Because the city met Shirk's challenge to raise the money to purchase property surrounding hers and transform it into a botanical park, Shirk bequeathed Kimberly Crest and its more than six acres to the city of Redlands.
The three-story chateau is a California historic landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It boasts 7,000 square feet and sits on a more than 6-acre estate on Prospect Drive. It is surrounded by terraced Italian gardens, lily and koi ponds, statues and orange groves. The grounds were designed by G. Edwin Bergstrom, a Los Angeles architect and a son-in-law of the Kimberlys.
More than 11,000 visitors tour the house and gardens annually, and hundreds turn out in December for the traditional Christmas tree lighting and Shirk's famous ginger cookies. This year's ceremony will be Sunday, after the home tour.
The Y Home Tour is from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday and all proceeds of the tour support the YMCA of the East Valley Legal Aid program which provides low-cost legal services primarily to women and families in domestic matters. The demand for these services has quadrupled since 1999.
Tickets for the tour are available online at www.ymcaeastvalley.org, by phone at 798-9622 and at the three YMCA branches:
Redlands: 500 E. Citrus Ave.
Highland: 7793 Central Ave.
San Bernardino: 808 E. 21st St.
Cost is $25 for advance tickets, $30 on the day of the tour, and $65 for the patron package which includes the tour, brunch and VIP home access. Opportunity drawing tickets for holiday baskets donated by local businesses are also available for $1 each or 15 for $10. Drawings will be held at the close of the home tour and winners need not be present.
The YMCA is also again hosting its holiday boutique and pantry from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday in the Roy Coble Gym at the Redlands location, 500 Citrus Ave. Entrance to the boutique and pantry are free.
