The friendly staff
close to major attractions Break fast was included friendly staff Too much furniture in the already small rooms. The fan doesn't work in the bathroom. Need bathmat and stopper in bath tub
Very close to highway , we were just staying to sleep on our way to the USA . I loved the feel of the lobby very retro cool feel Pretty dated( not retro like the lobby just dumpy ) , small room and long walk to room with suitcases and small child
Price and the room was warm
The hotel's location is ok for people not wanting to head into downtown Moncton. Located near the Casino When I arrived, I was presented a room that was very small, had an old style TV and had not been made up yet. I left for an hour and came back and the room was still not prepared. I asked for a different room and was upgraded. The 2nd room was better
Location was not bad. Rooms had a terrible odour, i could not stay in the room for long. The carpets were dirty and the overall experience was not good
Room was spotlessly clean and comfortable. Buffet breakfast was terrific and the staff very friendly and accommodating. Although okay with me, my sister had the room next door to mine and, due to mobility issues, found it difficult to climb two flights of stairs to get to the second floor.
Nothing at all. Completely terrible service and discusting rooms. There is not one good thing I can say about the hotel other than the location which ended up being of absolutely no use to us as they ruined the vacation anyways.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.

it was convenient and everything was reasonable, exactly as rated!
Location was good Room was freezing cold. Woke up to a snowball in my room and breakfast area
Despite being on a very busy road and our room at the front of the hotel it was super quiet. The room was huge, clean and nicely furnished. Loved the king sized bed and fluffy towels. The staff was very friendly and professional. Only that the comforter was a bit thin on the bed.
Very well kept No
Beautiful room nice decor plenty of space and clean Noisy no restaurant,river view was ugly t.v.had no info channel or guide ....who has that ???
Really nice Hotel. Great location.
The staff was super

Great location, lots of parking, close to everything, pleasant staff, and very clean room.
Convenient location, easy free parking, very clean room, helpful staff. Could not get wifi. I complained to front desk and three people tried to help but wifi was weak on 4th floor.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Beautiful rooms and clean
To close fromage the street to noise
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Gisselle the bar person, the night i stayed was courtiose, freindly and derserves a raise.
very comfortable beds, good water pressure in the shower, unobtrusive and helpful staff Didn't like the fact that there was no convenience store or tuck shop for small personal items in the hotel, and anything suitable was a long walk away.
Reception Entrance
The friendly staff No continental breakfast included. For the same price, all the other motels I've stayed in in Moncton include it. Also, the bathtub needs to be upgraded, the tiles were dirty.
Kayak allowed me to reserve (pre-pay) a 2 Queen bed room however, the Hotel did not have any rooms of this type available and had us booked in a 1 King with pull out couch for our family of four. Unfortunately, due to reserving the room through a third party (Kayak), the Hotel could not do anything for me.
Staff were great. Lobby was beautiful and the restaurants were nice. The pool was disappointing small. The water slide does not go into the pool. It's just a water slide by itself. It stops dead the picture shows that there is sand by the pool and water slide. No sand.
The staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly. Both of the restaurants in the hotel were outstanding as well. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Although common for city hotels, I did not like the extra charge for parking. I would rather they absorb it into the price.
Location Amenities Quiet Environment Upscale Facility Pricing / Choices for Breakfast
The hotel was very convienient for our viewing of the Christmas parade and just perfect for our grandchildren to come in afterwards to warm up I found that the room was a bit too "tight" with two queen size beds when we had asked for a king.
The design of the surroundings
Room and bed were great. Location surpurb and value exceptional.The restraunt meals was four star
Clean room and friendly service Cost of the room (small room for $200) and the extra cost for parking
Felt well managed and very clean, staff were friendly and helpful.
very clean, courteous staff Had to go pick up my own room service in the morning as there was no one to deliver
Room was very clean and staff were extremely friendly was given a room that was directly across from the ice machines which was very loud and kept waking us up all night. In addition, starting in the early morning people used the ice machine to fill coolers which increased the amount of noise
We loved that it was new , afforadable and close to the shopping. There's was nothing that we didn't like except that my little boy wished there had been a pool.
i love the convenience of the restaurant "Mavericks" right in the hotel, we had a fabulous meal and had wine and a couple of drinks...we just took the elevator back up to our room...no driving...no cabs...very relaxing...! no complaints here...we will recommend your hotel to our friends.
Very, very prompt service...we asked for extra towels for our 2 extra guests...they were delivered almost before I could hang up the phone! The restaurant is also excellent, both food and service. How long does it take Moncton to finish a road paving??? The street was torn up last year when we stayed, and it's still under construction f'cris sakes.
The Inn had very nice rooms and the restaurant was excellent. The location for shopping was great.
I liked the cleanliness of the room and the fact that it was situated just outside of the busy section, yet close enough to shopping and the highway. The restaurant was excellent. I would have liked breakfast included like all the other hotels we stayed in...just was more convenient.
The friendliness and helpfulness of the staff; the suite layout; the restaurant on site; the fact that the Internet worked quickly
The hotel recently opened. On arrival we were told that they no longer had a room with a king bed as we had booked and had confirmed. We spoke to the manager who told us that the hotel was full and that we would be given a room with two double beds. I showed her the reservation confirming a deluxe king room. After some time we were accomodated. This was a complete turn off for me. Noisy, in the early morning. You could hear everything going on in the hallways.
They need to update their occupancy status straight away with booking site. Last thing a traveller wants is to be there is no room in middle of night.
Please write at least 15 words
The staff were very good! The second night that we stayed we had a different room and it was very nice. Thanks to the hotel staff for there help. The roads round hotel were under construction, made it diffcult to get around. Other problems were addressed at hotel!
Very friendly staff
I liked the service and the fact that malls were close by for easy shopping We enjoyed eating at the restaurant. It was very quiet in the motel at night . Parking was very good. We both enjoyed our stay. Thanks for the great service. No.
Free water or beer, which we chose, was offered upon our arrival. Bottled water in the rooms. Snack bag to go in the morning. Breakfast buffet was fine. Windows that didn't open -- but that is becoming more and more rare.
Clean comfortable rooms Good location Breakfast was bad.
The breakfast had lots of options The bath towels could be thicker
I was there on business. The bed was the most comfortable I've slept on in a motel. Very important for business trips to rest well for the business activities of the following day.
The beds were really comfortable. Coffee pot in room...and at night someone tried to get into the room from the deck side. An honest mistake I imagine but I would suggest you paint the chairs outside different colors so that would be a clue when people arrive late at night when one parks the car and the other opens the door.
the family suite and the decoration the dinning room was too small and the breakfest was poor
We loved the morning breakfast, nearness to facilities and the highway and the helpfulness of the staff nothing
The accommodations are great and the room was super clean. That's a big one for me. Always enjoy staying there!!! I would definitely recommend it. No
The room was nice and clean, the TV was modern and worked well, and we appreciated the first floor direct access to the parking lot. After an overnight snowfall and cold temperatures, nothing was done during checkout time to sand and salt the walkways and steps. All ground floor rooms have wooden decks and steps, and these were very treacherous.
clean,location friendly staff. breakfast, a little too busy
Location was a big deciding factor when we looked for lodging. This one was very convenient for our needs. The layout of the bathroom was really different. There was a bowed shower rod above the tub for the shower curtain. Why???? Our 16 year old daughter did not understand that the curtain still had to in the tub. While trying to make things right, she slipped because there is no mat in the tub. Thankfully, she was OK and actually caught herself before she went down. Very sore the next day but, OK.
It was very peaceful, quiet and relaxing. Staff were very friendly and willing to assist. Will definitely stay there again.
We thoroughly enjoyed the level of comfort the room provided and the outside deck. The amount of space where the breakfast is served is very small and uncomfortable. Also it would be more convenient if you could leave the room through the patio door and have it lock behind you, if you wanted.
Staff's help and advice, especially that from Ingrid at the front desk, was exceptional. Moncton was a way-station on the way from Nova Scotia to Montreal, and Ingrid and the Inn's staff made an overnight stay a pleasure and delight.
The room was modern, nicely decorated, had good amenities and was quiet. An extra towel we asked for was quick to arrive. The breadkfast has lots of variety and the hotel swimming pool was clean and bright. We thought that the evening fingerfood "meet and greets" were a nice touch. At check-in we had to ask about everything, ie no details on where breakfast would be served, the "nickelodeon" program for (our) children that was available. Also the roll away bed we requested was not available and we had 4 people booked for our room and only 3 towels were in the room. It also wouldn't have hurt for the cleaning staff to vacuum the carpet behind the sofa bed every now and again. It was noticeably grubby as soon as I lifted it to use it. The down duvet for the sofa bed had no cover on it (maybe this is normal??) and only 1 extra pillow in the pack. The $12 plus tax per day parking charge seemed a little steep. Pretty small issues though as stay was enjoyable.
Rooms were very spacious and comfortable.
Very friendly staff No complimentary breakfast. Have to pay for parking
The atmosphere, the room the staff all good. We will stay again next time in Moncton.No No
Suited my needs. Room rate was expensive.
very good location, close to shopping and restaurants. also close to Farmers market (Sat.). I like that area to walk and shop. Nice rooms and many extras in the hotel such as pool and exercise area, a few restarants, the room had a coffeee machine and microwave and frig. The room was large. I could hear people in the hall talking easily. The doors don't seem to be sound proof. thye charge for parking.
V hotel located right in the middle of downtown Moncton was a perfect location for our stay. Ample parking, comfy beds, modern decor, price was terrific. Restaurant was cute with option to eat outside on the patio. Food was yummy. I will definitely be booking at the V Hotel again.
room was renovated fairly well. Close to down town and within walking distance many restaurants and coffee shops. Lobby very nice. Staff friendly, helpful. Pool small with 4 cement stools- unsafe. Bathrooms not renovated and old. Not sound proof rooms at all. Complimentary breakfast so small- only 1 cup of coffee allowed (free). Complimentary breakfast so much better anywhere else. I would spend and extra $20 and stay at a more reputable place, like Super 8, next time.
Nice pool area, friendly staff, nice restaurant Rooms were noisy, hallways smell like cigarette smoke
Friendly and helpful staff. Room was super clean and tidy. Plenty of free parking, restaurant on site had extensive menu and great breakfasts.
Our room was so modern and we lived the private door to the deck and pool. Very comfortable beds and great staff. Restaurant was amazing.

Allman Brothers Band postpones Beacon dates
Listen to The Allman Brothers Band on iHeartRadio
Gregg Allman's battle with bronchitis is forcing his band to put its remaining shows at New York's Beacon Theatre on hold.
Allman was forced to sit out two Allman Brothers Band shows this weekend but the group now says its postponing their last four performances with promises to reschedule. The affected dates include March 25th, March 26th, March 28th and March 29th.
Celebrating 45 years of music this year, The Allman Brothers Band began its 14-show run at the Beacon on March 7th.
A note posted on their Facebook page Sunday said there were no guarantees but offered that Gregg was improving and hoped to return to the stage for the last four shows.
Fans who were planning on going to the show should hang on to their tickets for rescheduled dates. For those New Yorkers in the area, Q104.3 will share any details that become available.

8 Best Spa Getaways Around the World
On the bustling star-studded red carpet before ELLE's 20th annual affair last night, most of the conversation centered on the eight honorees (Reese Witherspoon, Melissa McCarthy, Marion Cotillard, Shailene Woodley, Nancy Meyers, Eva Marie Saint, Naomie Harris, and Penélope Cruz) whose unbridled passion for their craft inspires an entire town of dreamweavers. The rest of the chatter? It focused squarely on hot button topics such as Breaking Bad, twerking, and crushing Colin Farrell's dreams. Click through for stars' most tangential talking points.

Snowy Owl
The snowy owl was recently reclassified in the genus Bubo, which is part of the family Strigidae or "typical" owls. This circumpolar owl inhabits tundra regions of Eurasia and North America. During the fall and winter, it migrates to southern Canada and northerly parts of the United States. During years when high numbers of owl young are produced, the snowy owl may wander as far south as the central United States.
The snowy owl prefers open areas for its breeding range, including tundra and grasslands. During winter it seeks open areas to the south, including prairies, marshes or shorelines.
The snowy owl is the heaviest North American owl, and one of the largest in overall size. They average 20-27 inches (51-69 cm) tall, with a wingspan of almost 5 feet (1.5 m). They have large, round heads, black beaks, no visible ear-tufts and yellow eyes. As with most owls, females are larger than males; females average 5 pounds (2.3 kg), males 4 pounds (1.8 kg). The female's body is white and highlighted with dark brown bars and spots. Males are nearly pure white. Both sexes of immature owls are heavily marked with brown barring.
Up to 25 years in captivity. Birds have been documented to live at least 10 years in the wild.
In the wild: Snowy owls prey primarily on lemmings, mice and voles. They also eat large birds, such as ptarmigans and a variety of waterfowl. Snowy owls have been known to wade into water to catch marine animals with their talons.
At the zoo: Mice, rats and coturnix quail.
Courtship begins in May, with males performing aerial displays of dives, soars and exaggerated wing beats. They often carry a dead animal in their beaks as food gifts for prospective mates. While on the ground, males may also spread their wings to impress females. Once paired, the owls nest on a prominent point that offers a good view in all directions. Nests are not elaborate, simply being a scooped-out area lined with feathers and moss. The amount of available food determines clutch size. An average of seven eggs are usually laid, but clutch size may be even larger if prey is exceptionally plentiful. During periods of few prey, owls may not nest. Females incubate their eggs for 32-34 days. The female incubates and broods, while the male hunts for food.
About three to four weeks after hatching, young leave the nest and scatter in close proximity of the nest. Once all the chicks have left the nest, both parents must feed the scattered young. Young fledge seven to eight weeks after hatching. Due to nearly 24 hours of light per day in the tundra, snowy owls are active any hour of day or night, and perch on the ground or any raised object while searching for food. They may gather in groups of up to 20 or more owls when they disperse south in the fall, particularly when they find a location with plenty of prey.
Snowy owls are very protective parents. A male will dive and strike at most any intruder that enters its territory or threatens its family. This includes animals such as arctic foxes, wolves and even humans. Another means of defense against predators is to act as if it's wounded. If a predator comes too close to the nest, either parent may drag their wing(s) on the ground. They hope to trick the predator into thinking that the wounded owl is an easy meal, while they slowly lead it farther and farther away from the nest.
Woodland Park Zoo's snowy owls can be seen in our Northern Trail exhibit area. Other owls can be viewed in our Raptor Center and near Bug World.
During the breeding and nesting season, snowy owls inhabit tundra areas that experience severe weather conditions. Well adapted to live in these harsh environments, snowy owls face few threats and their populations are stable. This changes, however, as these owls migrate south and come into contact with human civilization. Although not a threat to the species snowy owls die from flying into utility lines, wire fences, automobiles, airplanes (at airports) and other human structures. Some owls are even killed by hunters.
Many raptor species are in trouble. Human-caused changes in land use are escalating, and this affects the habitats and migratory corridors required by some raptors for survival. Vast forests are being removed for timber and other paper products, and industrial emissions are polluting water and air resources. Critical shoreline and riparian zone habitats are being rapidly converted by expanding human communities and agricultural needs. Shooting and trapping are also lowering raptor numbers. It's only a matter of time until more raptor species may face extinction, unless we take measures to protect their habitats.
Humans need raptors. Here are only a few of the benefits raptors provide:
Efforts to save threatened and endangered raptors require cooperation and support at 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. Eliminate or reduce pesticide use. Support breeding programs for endangered birds of prey at zoos and other animal care organizations.

^ reminds me of the proper way to consume a package of ramen noodles...
ok ok so how am I the first to mention.... THE NETTI POT!!!
Go to your nearest sushi peddler. Tell him to hold the raw fish and double up on your wasabi. Eat the green block like it's avocado. Bye bye sinus issues.
Suck on a raw garlic clove a few times a day.
Unfortunately, I have tried this. So did these gentlemen:
"It HURT!! My nose bled just a little for about 3 days and was raw and sore for about a week!"
"There are times when the pain in almost unbearable but once it subsides, I can breath and feel great."
If you have health insurance, go to an ENT; If you don't, make sure you use highly diluted peroxide.
line me one up too lol
Depends on how many teeth he had and if he was married to his sister.
haha thanks 4 the advice! its cleared up now, i'll hafta try the peroxide next time. I did eat some wasabi, maybe that did it, that stuff gets me every time
sinus infection vet here. are you 100% sure its an infection? If you are, do the netti pot/sinu-cleanse with antibiotics then get some nasal steroids like nasonex.

The high-gain sounds of the Ecstasy amp's Red Channel in a compact pedal.
The Ecstasy amplifier was born in 1992, and decades later Bogner is still hand building each amp, one at a time, in Los Angeles, California. The Ecstasy Red pedal captures the mystical Red-Channel tone of this legendary amplifier, famous for its incendiary, higher-gain crunch and lead tones. Using interactive controls to adjust gain and EQ settings, the red pedal delivers a wide range of expressive tones from vintage overdrive to ripping modern high gain. Ideal for aggressive playing styles, the Ecstacy Red pedal boasts the outrageous heavy tones that get Bogner amps into the backlines of rock's most notable players.
Reinhold designed the Ecstasy Red pedal with five discrete Class A gain stages and no op-amps or diode clipping, mirroring the circuitry of the Ecstasy amplifier's Red Channel. This revolutionary approach provides clarity, touch sensitivity and note separation never before achieved in overdrive pedals.
The Ecstasy Red is powered by a standard 9V battery or 9V power supply. Reinhold's advanced circuitry internally elevates the voltage a substantially higher level. This higher voltage provides a greater dynamic range which closely resembles the feel of the Ecstasy amplifier's legendary tube design.
- True bypass
- Boost function with independently lit volume and gain controls
- Master Controls: Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass and Volume
- Variac On/Off switch: adds a "dropped voltage" dynamic compression to the feel and sound
- Mode Switch: Tight, Mellow and Full, shapes the general EQ curve and gain levels
- Pre-EQ Switch: B1, N and B2 settings control "openness" and presence of higher range harmonics
- Structure Switch: 100, 101 and 20th Anniversary settings offer EQ shifts and gain structures from various eras and models of Ecstasy amplifiers
- Jacks: input, output and remote
- Remote jack allows control of the on/off and boost functions via a remote switching unit
- Low Battery Indicator: LEDs blink when battery voltage drops below critical threshold

Ok so Cesc finally moves to FC Barca, my query is why have they signed him?
He is a GREAT player, no two ways about it, but look at their current situation:
All WORLD class midfielders and i'm not sure i'd play Cesc over any of them!
Great and reliable player
Young and up and coming and supposed to be a great player in the making!
Why have they bought him? Anyone any idea about where they are planning on playing him and when?
"Just Scrap!"
Twitter '@DWedz'
He's better than Busquets and Mascherano, but they are more defensive. He's probably being lined up as a long term replacement to Xavi? Not a bad player to bring on from the bench.
Man City win 4-0 and no sign of Al Wallace or Silent Assassin...we need to restore some polarity to the universe

That is completly evil but I think if i invite him out for a drink as a stranger on a forum he will be onto us straight away ! He might be clever enough to reverse it on me then and stick to soft drinks, get me tanked and get me to publicly shame myself! I cant risk that...... i did enough of that last weekend lol

If you are a business or individual in need of an online presence, you may not know where to begin. Maybe you think that you need advanced web design skills to build your website or blog. Fortunately, a self-hosted WordPress site is ideal for almost any need. Best of all for the beginner, no web design knowledge is required. You can have an attractive, functional WordPress website up and running in just a few hours.
What is WordPress?
WordPress is a user-friendly blogging platform that allows you to manage all aspects of your site from a single online dashboard. Instead of building a website from scratch, you can choose from hundreds of pre-designed themes and plugins. With a self-hosted WordPress blog, you can also purchase and install premium content. It's even possible to create your own plugins and themes, making self-hosted WordPress ideal for novices as well as tech-savvy users.
WordPress.com VS WordPress.org
Type "WordPress" into Google, and you'll see two different WordPress sites. One has a .com extension, while the other has a .org extension. Are they the same thing? What is the difference?
WordPress.com is totally free and requires very little tech knowledge to set up and run. Your blog is hosted on WordPress servers, and all aspects are taken care of for you, including spam protection, content backup, and version upgrades. WordPress.com is great if you just need a very basic blog, but you can't use premium themes or make changes to the PHP code. You also cannot use plugins. This greatly limits what you can do with your blog.
WordPress.org is also known as "self-hosted WordPress." That's because you need your own web hosting to use it, so the blog will not be hosted on the WordPress servers. Web hosting usually costs several dollars each month, and you are responsible for your blog's security, spam protection, upgrades, and backups. However, you are completely free to customize your blog in any way, making these small hassles worth the trouble. It's best to use self-hosted WordPress if you intend to sell products via your site, or if you wish to use affiliate links to make money.
What You Need for Self-Hosted WordPress
To self-host your WordPress blog, you'll need a domain name, also called a URL or web address. You must also obtain web hosting so you can "park" the domain on a server. Free hosting is available, but it can be unreliable and is not recommended, especially if your blog is business-related. You will have to pay for the domain and high-quality hosting, but after that, setting up and running your WordPress blog is free (unless you want to buy premium content).
In "Self-Hosted WordPress Part 2: Domain Names," you'll learn how to pick a domain name and register it with a registrar.

I think airtun-ng is what you're looking for.
Don't forget to start the tun driver by typing: modprobe tun before you start.
usage: airtun-ng -a <AP BSSID> -w <key> <interface i.e. ath0, mon0 etc.>
This will create an interface called at0.
Leave the command shell open and open a second one
usage: ifconfig at0 up
Then fire up Wireshark and start capture on this new interface and voila, you should be able to read the traffic on that AP in realtime.

The Gulf Today - November 2- 2008Adnan Oktar: Under the leadership of Turkey; The Turkish-Islamic Union will arise with the unity of the Turkish states and this unity will be constituted by the help of Turkish Union, InshaAllah.This will be achieved under the leadership of Turkey and we are approaching it step by step.Indeed what is most ideal is the leadership of Turkey. Every country will be a separate state but there will be a spiritual union, like European Union InshaAllah. Passports, visas will be lifted; countries will easily engage in trade, have dealings with one another, they will become brothers. In order to constitute this; Azerbaijan will be the first stage. Again among the Islamic countries, Syria will be another. Azerbaijan is not only a Turkish but also an Islamic country. Syria is our Muslim brother, too. We will be united with Syria as well, InshaAllah. These will be the initial steps and it will progress as a process which will come consecutively. The development of the Turkish – Islamic Union will come true and it will end in ten or fifteen years InshaAllah. This has been a mission that is upon Turkey for long times. I mean; we have seen this throughout all the periods of the governments. Turkey always undertakes the leadership of the Turkish-Islamic Union. It has made it felt everywhere. Also Turkey always shows the mission of being an elder brother implicitly or explicitly. In case of a disagreement Turkey steps in. For example; in the form of Caucasia alliance Turkey steped in. When there is a disagreement between other countries, Turkey remains in the position of a negotiator. Turkey's leadership is seen explicitly both in Natural gas pipeline project, and in Petrol pipeline project, and in the other projects. Turkey has already been doing it without giving an official explanation and it is going on and progressing.

As we welcomed the Reno-Tahoe campus to the Multnomah University family we received a funny little gift in the mail.
It's a tumbleweed. We kind of just stared at it for a while. Multnomah being in Portland means we don't see much tumbleweed in these parts. Sure, I think we all recognize these sand dwellers from the movies, but we really couldn't understand why someone would mail us one (let alone three). Then we received an email from Jason Daniels the Administrative Director of the Reno-Tahoe campus detailing some facts about our new "friend"...
- It is sharp. (Check!)
- It is Nevada's answer to the pet rock.
He also sent some display ideas...
- Hang it from the ceiling.
- Put it in your yard next to a wagon wheel!
We here at MU Portland are really excited about how our expansion east will extend the reach of Multnomah's mission. Well, we want you all to know that the Reno-Tahoe campus connection is already being felt (or seen) on campus.
It is obvious that Multnomah University Reno-Tahoe is going to be a fun group to work with.
Here is a question for you. What do you think would be the Portland equivalent to a tumbleweed?

If Bravo is lucky, they won't be losing a husband when Apollo Nida goes to jail for racketeering and money laundering and a host of other crimes that could land him in prison for at least a decade. No, what Bravo is getting is another cast member for their new show RH-Department Of Corrections. All they have to do is make sure that Apollo and Joe Giudice share a cell and then if Teresa doesn't take the no jail time deal she has been offered, the cameras can follow her too. Just think, three Real Housewives members in federal prison at the same time. VH-1 must be drooling because Teresa and Phaedra could do double duty on Mob Wives.
Apparently Apollo opened a bunch of fake companies that offer loans so got access to credit bureau reports and then took out loans under those names. Federal officials say there are at least forty different accounts that were discovered with assets in the accounts still totaling $3M which means there was much more than that before they discovered them. Apollo's former employee was arrested and has ratted him out.
Apollo was in federal prison for five years and got out and married Phaedra, who is an attorney and who is going to have a tough time proving she is squeaky clean in all of this considering how much she has Apollo attached to her hip.

Howard Chambers served as Lakewood's city manager for 34 years before retiring last year, though he remained at the job on an interim basis until a new person could be found for the job. The new person is Howard Chambers, who re-upped with a three-year contract that begins next week.
Q So, apparently you're the only person in the United States capable of city-managing Lakewood?
A I have to believe there's somebody else who can do it. Eventually, there'll have to be someone else.
Q How was retirement?
A I never really got to try it. The City Council was in the process of finding a new city manager and they asked me if I would reconsider. I realized I'd be sitting on the couch at home going bonkers. I wasn't ready for the rocking chair.
Q So you came back, even at a cut in pay (from $240,000 to a crippling $225,000)?
A It didn't take much to lure me back.
Q You and I have been at our respective jobs for about 35 years. Do you think we stay because of a stunning lack of ambition, or are we happy to be where we are?
A I love Lakewood. I love the community and I love the people here. I look at city managers who bounce every couple of years and I think, man, how can they see the fruits of their accomplishments? I look at other cities and I'd rather be in Lakewood than 99 percent of them.
Q Come on. How about Carmel?
A I'd rather live in Lakewood than Carmel.
Q Long Beach?
A Ha.
Q So what are your accomplishments?
A I think bringing stability to the city and the City Council was a big accomplishment. When I came in there was a lot of instability. There used to be threats of fistfights at the council meetings; 200 or 300 people who show up at the council meeting and the meetings would go on until 2 in the morning. We were the most entertaining game in town. People couldn't wait to read the Press-Telegram to find out what happened.
Q There were some almost-fistfights between Lakewood and Long Beach when Long Beach was trying to get the Town Center built on the site of the old Navy Hospital on Carson Street.
A We get along a lot better now. I love (Long Beach city manager) Pat West. We worked closely when he was city manager of Paramount.
Q But you didn't love Jim Hankla (Long Beach city manager during the Navy Hospital brouhaha).
A A lot of that was blown out of proportion. I liked Jim. When we had that battle, he was the only one who sat down with us to discuss it. Everyone else refused. I liked Jim, I liked Henry (former Long Beach city manager Taboada) ...
Q Henry? You like Henry Taboada?
A Yes. He was a great guy.
Q The beef was basically you thought the Town Center was going to take away business from the Lakewood mall?
A Well, yeah. And it did. In the end, I think both Lakewood and Long Beach were right. Hankla and I both said if we were in the other's shoes, we would have made the same argument that the other person made. But Lakewood was never going to win that battle. Long Beach was at a big advantage. It held all the cards.
Q I think there are enough shoppers to go around. The Town Center is packed, the Cerritos Mall is packed. I don't know about Lakewood because I never go there.
A Yes, it's packed, too. You're right, there's plenty for everyone. Our Restaurant Row along Candlewood is always jammed. You have to get there early or you'll have a wait.
Q What are your big stores?
A Costco coming in changed the dynamic of the center. We have Nordstrom Rack, Costco, Target - they all do really well.
Q You're not going head-to-head with South Coast Plaza.
A No, it's more what you'd call "value-oriented."
Q What else was causing tension in Lakewood when you started?
A In 1976, there was a lot of community discord. There was a new disclosure policy that the council put in place, where sellers had to tell buyers whatever problems there were with the property. It was a little different than the way it is now, and it didn't set well with a lot of people. Things were blown out of context by a factor of 30 or 40. Three members of the council were ousted over it.
Q Don't you have to be a crook to be against disclosure?
A It was well-intended but not properly enforced. Stupid things came up: Somebody had built a dollhouse in a setback area; somebody's flowerbed was built up an inch too high. It eventually settled down. I was made city manager unanimously, which was one of the few times in those days the city council agreed on anything.
Q But now everyone gets along?
A We've got the greatest City Council now. Nobody's jockeying for a higher office. Our average staff member has been here 15 years.
Q Have you lived all your life in Lakewood?
A Yes. I grew up in a house on Premiere Avenue, north of South Street in the old part of town. It was built in 1944. But I was in Long Beach a lot.
My grandmother lived on Colorado and Ximeno in I believe what's called Belmont Heights. And my dad had Blacker's Cafe down around Third Street in downtown. I would go there to work on weekends when I was a kid. And I delivered the morning Long Beach Independent in Lakewood.
Q Where did you go to high school?
A I went to Mayfair. Our three children all went to Lakewood High.
Q What's your favorite part of Lakewood?
A The mall! The mall! The mall!

About Those "Missing" Cost-Benefit Analyses ...
While Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations on greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other air pollutants are on firm political and legal footing, attacks on them continue. Claims have been made that the costs of regulation are extreme or, contradictorily, that the government has not conducted any cost analysis of these regulations.
On the side that the costs are too high, one figure bandied about recently is that all government regulations are costing the economy $1.75 trillion annually, and $280 billion of that stems from compliance with existing environmental regulations. Those figures came from a study by two Lafayette College professors done for the Small Business Administration (SBA). Yet, as widely reported, the Congressional Research Service, and even the professors themselves have disputed the methodology of the study and its use in the current frenzy of political shots at environmental regulations. In a Congressional Research Service (CRS) report, the methodology of the SBA report was faulted for, among other things, allowing for double counting of costs. The Lafayette College study simply adds together other previous studies on individual regulations, regardless of the approaches and methodologies of those calculations. The CRS report quotes the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as having written that such a methodology is an "inherently flawed approach."
More distressingly for those who care about making informed decisions about the economic impacts of regulation, that large figure is not balanced against any benefits those regulations might have. According to the CRS report, the authors of the Lafayette College stated that they were never asked to include benefits in their analysis. The authors were quoted as saying the report was "not meant to be a decision-making tool for lawmakers or federal regulatory agencies to use in choosing the 'right' level of regulation. In no place in any of the reports do we imply that our reports should be used for this purpose. (How could we recommend this use when we make no attempt to estimate the benefits?)" On the contrary, as we have explained before, the benefits of Clean Air Act regulations have far outstripped the costs in major studies.
As for those who say no economic analyses were ever done of these regulations, all federally promulgated regulations undergo a cost-benefit analysis before implementation. This requirement stretches back many presidential administrations, with each administration offering adjustments to the process. The basis for current analysis is found in Executive Order 12866, signed in 1993 by President Clinton, which provided a significant overhaul to the review process and, among other things, requires
Each agency [to] assess both the costs and the benefits of the intended
regulation and, recognizing that some costs and benefits are difficult to
quantify, propose or adopt a regulation only upon a reasoned determination
that the benefits of the intended regulation justify its costs.
President Obama reaffirmed the inclusion of cost-benefit analysis in the regulatory process in Executive Order 13563 at the beginning of 2011.
Turning specifically to the GHG regulations implemented by the Administration, where regulatory requirements have been imposed the analyses required by OMB have been conducted and are readily available. Some critics have complained that there was not a cost-benefit analysis done of the EPA's 2009 Endangerment Finding for GHGs. Such claims miss the fact that the Endangerment Finding was a scientific ruling that GHGs cause climate change, posing a threat to public health and welfare, and motor vehicles emit GHGs contributing to those risks. Since there were no regulatory requirements to reduce GHG emissions in this rulemaking, a cost-benefit analysis was inappropriate.
When it comes to actually reducing GHGs from emitting sources, such analyses would be appropriate, and federal agencies are required to include them as part of the rulemaking process. EPA has done so. The first rule on GHGs , the light-duty vehicle GHG emission standards promulgated jointly with Department of Transportation's Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency standards, was issued with a Regulatory Impact Assessment that offered almost five hundred pages of detailed qualitative and quantitative analysis of the costs and benefits of the rules. The findings were that the GHG standard for light duty vehicles has an estimated cost of $52 billion and benefits of $240 billion: benefits outweighing costs by better than 4 to 1.
Upon the implementation of the light duty vehicle standards, the New Source Review program for stationary sources of GHGs was automatically triggered – without any regulatory action taken by EPA – therefore no separate cost-benefit analysis was legally required of this step. However, when EPA went through the regulatory process to create the tailoring rule to lower the compliance requirements for stationary sources, it was required to undertake an analysis. The Regulatory Impact Assessment of EPA's tailoring rule is available on its website and includes an in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis of the reduced permitting costs from the tailoring rule regulation now in effect for stationary sources. As EPA continues its rulemaking for New Source Performance Standards for utilities and refineries, fully documented regulatory impact analyses will be conducted and made available for comment with the proposed rule.
Thus, despite the claims to the contrary, EPA has in the past and will continue in the future to analyze the costs and benefits of GHG regulations. It is also clear that, to date, GHG regulations imposed by the EPA under the Clean Air Act have vastly greater benefits than costs.

Easily mixed with water and applied with a watering can, giving protection for up to six weeks. Apply when slugs are active, and ensure the soil is moist for optimum performance. For best results the soil temperature needs to be 5 degrees and above.
We will supply from April, starting in the south, until September.
It kills mainly young and small slugs under the soil surface (90% of the population), rather than big slugs on the surface, for which additional controls may be needed (see the Pest Control Products sections). However, it does mean that the young slugs do not mature and breed, giving a much reduced slug population in the future. Use before the expiry date on the pack, and keep refrigerated until use.
Note: This does not control snails, and is not recommended for use in very heavy clay soil.
This pack treats 40 square metres.

Hodor From Game of Thrones on Family Feud?
I started out as a child. I was raised by wonderful parents and one sister and still stay in contact and visit with them often. They all live in Illinois. I'm the only "Michigander" in the family. I have 2 kids, Austin and Kira, whom I love dearly!!! My uncle Jeff, a retired game warden in Peoria County, IL loves Michigan because, well, we have some of the best areas for deer hunting here!
I've been in radio for about 18+ years now, starting at a little 6000 Watt station in Mendota, IL (WGLC FM - Northern Illinois Country) When I started college then, I wanted more than anything to be on the air. At the time, I was in school for Computer Science / Information Technology, and Electronics Engineering Technology. I worked 3 hours a week on Saturdays, green as they come, doing this silly little mid-afternoon show. Finally, they needed a broadcast electronics engineer/IT guy. Since their engineer left, I applied and got the position. From that point on, I designed, built, and maintained radio stations for many years and many stations, up until 2003. All along with that, I still did shows on a few different stations. One of my favorites was an afternoon country show I did on WALS 102. It was called, "The Afternoon Cruise" and was on the air for almost 4 years. It was all-request and I made so many friends during that time! While doing many requests and with news by my dear friend Tracy Mason, I hold that station dear to my heart, along with my listeners. In fact, I even built that station and put it on the air! I also left the country back in the 90's with my family to Melbourne, Australia. I decided to travel there on and off for while to explore that beautiful country. If you've ever been or would like to go, you'll see what I mean! And if you're planning on going some time, email me and I'll tell you the sights and wildlife preserves that I visited. It's truly spectacular! Anyway, back to the story, I've been on 107 MUS "The Moose" since December of 2004 and have loved every minute of it! My listeners are definitely the most dedicated and true that I've ever had. I'm very fortunate!
That about sums up my career in radio and a few odds and ends. Thank you so much for listening to me on Saturdays! I'll do my very best to make sure it'll be a good time! :)

Since we may have to reinstall many times after playing with configurations..
I would like to know, what is the best way to backup AND restore your data?
with os x and timemachine EVERYTHING is backed up and recovered easy.
Is there a way to do this in bt4?
I mean so I can have all my customizations looking the way I left them?
How to Backup and Restore Backtrack From a External Disk (USB Key)
Of course, if you really wanted to have some fun, go to Wal-Mart late at night and ask the greeter if they could help you find trashbags, roll of carpet, rope, quicklime, clorox and a shovel. See if they give you any strange looks. --Streaker69

The College Football Playoff and the Allstate Sugar Bowl
Wednesday, October 16, 2013
This year is the final year of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) and this year's Allstate Sugar Bowl, the 80th edition of the annual college football classic, will be played on Jan. 2, 2014. The game will feature the champion of the Southeastern Conference, unless that team finishes in the top two in the BCS Standings, against an at-large team from the BCS pool.
Every Game CountsThe new playoff preserves the excitement and significance of college football's unique regular season where every game counts.
The Best Four TeamsA selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on body of work, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, comparison of results against common opponents, championships won and other factors.
Best of All WorldsThe new postseason structure creates an exciting four-team playoff that preserves the best regular season in sports and protects America's rich bowl tradition. It goes just the right distance and respects the academic calendar while limiting the number of games played by student-athletes.
A New Year's SpectacleFans will enjoy back-to-back triple-headers. Two semifinals and four other premier bowl games will be played on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day (the Allstate Sugar Bowl will always be played on Jan. 1 at 7:30 p.m., unless Jan 1 is a Sunday, in which case, the game will be played on Jan. 2). Those holidays will belong to college football. Semifinal games will rotate among six different bowls, extending the experience to more fans.
Championship MondayThe championship game will be on Monday night every year.
Site SelectionThe commissioners will select cities to host the Championship Game. A city can host a bowl game and the championship game in the same year. A city cannot, however, host a semifinal and championship game in the same year.
Universal AccessEvery FBS team will have equal access to the playoff based on the team's performance. No conference will qualify automatically.
More RevenueThe popularity of the new format will increase revenue for all conferences and independent institutions.
Conferences Manage the EventThe FBS conferences will manage the College Football Playoff. All 10 conferences are members of the new entity-CFP Administration, LLC. University presidents and chancellors from all 10 conferences and Notre Dame form the Board of Managers and will govern the administrative operations, with commissioners and athletics directors (the Management Committee) managing the event. A small staff in the playoff's office in Irving, Texas, will carry out the detailed responsibilities.
The members of the selection committee are:
More Decisions ComingImportant matters such as the selection committee's protocol and composition and the locations for future championship games are yet to be determined.
Participants in the Orange, Rose and Sugar BowlsBoth participants in these three bowls are contracted outside the playoff arrangement (Big Ten and Pac-12 to Rose Bowl; SEC and Big 12 to Sugar Bowl; ACC to Orange Bowl against a contracted opponent.) If a conference champion qualifies for the playoff, then the bowl will choose a replacement from that conference. When those bowls host the semifinals and their contracted conference champions do not qualify, then the displaced champion(s) will play in the other New Year's bowls.
Participants in the New Year's Bowls (Fiesta, Cotton, Peach)The participants in these three bowls will be made up of displaced conference champions and the top-ranked champion from a non-contract conference. Highest-ranked available teams will fill any other berths.

Brothers Chris and Kirk Bray founded Billykirk (the name is a shortened version of William Kirkland, Kirk's full name) in 1999 after stumbling upon an old leather watchstrap in a Los Angeles thrift store. It was love at first sight. The designers apprenticed with a third-generation craftsman to learn the techniques they now use to produce their exquisite leather and canvas belts, wallets, bags, briefcases, rucksacks, and, of course, watchstraps. East Coast-based since 2005, Billykirk now employs Amish artisans in rural Pennsylvania who use traditional leatherworking methods to turn high-quality domestic and Italian hides into functional yet fashionable bags and belts.

A breast biopsy is the removal of breast tissue to examine it for signs of
Biopsy - breast - stereotactic; Core needle breast biopsy - stereotactic; Stereotactic breast biopsy
You are asked to undress from the waist up.
You are most likely be asked to lie facing down on the biopsy table. The breast that is being biopsied hangs through an opening in the table. The table is raised and the doctor will perform the biopsy from underneath. In some cases, stereotactic breast biopsy is done while the woman sits in an upright position.
A stereotactic biopsy includes the following steps:
The biopsy itself is done using one of the following:
The procedure usually takes about 1 hour. This includes the time it takes for the x-rays. The actual biopsy takes only several minutes.
After the tissue sample has been taken, the catheter or needle is removed. Ice and pressure are applied to the site to stop any bleeding. A bandage will be applied to absorb any fluid. Stitches are not needed. Adhesive strips may be placed over any wound, if needed.
The health care provider will ask about your medical history. A breast exam may be done.
You must sign an informed consent.
If you take medicines (including aspirin or herbal remedies), ask your doctor whether you need to stop taking these before the biopsy.
Tell your doctor if you may be pregnant before having an open biopsy.
Do not use lotion, perfume, powder, or deodorant underneath your arms or on your breasts.
You may feel a sharp, stinging sensation when the local anesthetic is injected. During the procedure, you may feel slight discomfort or light pressure.
Lying on your stomach for up to 1 hour may be uncomfortable. Using cushions or pillows may help. Some patients are given a pill to help relax them before the procedure.
After the test, the breast may be sore and tender for several days. Do not do any heavy lifting or work with your arms for 24 hours after the biopsy. You can use acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen for pain relief.
Stereotactic breast biopsy is used when a small growth or calcifications are seen on a mammogram, but cannot be seen using an ultrasound of the breast.
The tissue samples are sent to a pathologist to be examined.
A normal result means there is no sign of cancer.
Your doctor or nurse will let you know when you need a follow-up mammogram or other tests.
If the biopsy shows benign breast tissue without cancer, you will likely not need surgery.
Sometimes the biopsy results show abnormal signs that are not cancer. In this case, a surgical biopsy might be recommended to remove the whole abnormal area for examination. Biopsy results may show:
Two main types of breast cancer may be found:
Depending on the results of the biopsy, you may need further surgery or treatment.
Your health care provider will discuss the meaning of the biopsy results with you.
There is a slight chance of infection at the injection or surgical cut site.
Bruising is common. But excessive bleeding is rare, in which case may require draining or re-bandaging.

Though new Eagles coach Chip Kelly has declared a QB competition, Michael Vick took the first-team snaps during the team's mini-camp, so said wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Second-year passer Nick Foles also picked up some work during Thursday's session. Veteran Dennis Dixon and fourth-round pick Matt Barkley will ultimately battle for depth chart status along with Foles.
Fantasy Analysis:
This news stuns nobody, but at least we might be moving closer to officially ending the pretense of a supposed QB battle. Vick, who turns 33 in June, certainly has his issues and nobody imagines him playing all 16 games. Still, he gives Philadelphia the best chance for success especially with Kelly's up-tempo offense. No longer considered a fantasy starter, Vick does offer some upside intrigue as a high-end QB2.

Range Map
Saw-whet owls are classified in the order Strigiformes, which includes typical owls and barn owls. Approximately 160 species of owls are further classified into the family Strigidae, which includes 26 genera of "typical owls." Saw-whet owls belong to one of four species in the genus Aegolius, or so-called "small forest owls." There are just two subspecies of Saw-whet owls: A. a. acadicus and A. a. brooksi.Saw-whet owls are one of the most common and widespread of North American owl species. The breeding range of the northern saw-whet owl extends from New England and the Eastern Canadian provinces across the Great Lakes region and southern Canadian plains into British Columbia. The western part of their breeding range extends from southern Alaska down through California, the southwestern states and into the mountains of Mexico. Their non-breeding range encompasses most of North America.
Northern saw-whet owls can be found in a variety of forested landscapes throughout their range including coniferous, deciduous, and even riparian woodlands in shrub steppe habitats. They prefer riparian habitats for breeding, and dense cover for roosting. They are only found in urban areas during migration. These owls rarely live at lower altitudes an appear more frequently at moderate elevations.
The saw-whet is one of the smallest species of owls. It has a large rounded head, a short tail and a relatively long wingspan. They measure 7-8.5 inches (18-22 cm) in length, with a wingspan of 17-21 inches (23-53 cm). They weigh 2.6-4.6 ounces (75-130 g), with females larger in length and weight than males.
Unlike some other owls, this species does not possess ear tufts, but instead has a prominent facial disk. Northern saw-whet owls are heavily feathered and feature complex markings. The upperparts are brown and streaked with white on the crown and nape. There are white spots on the back, tail and wings. The facial disk is white above and between the eyes and the rest is grayish brown with dark brown and white lateral streaks. The underparts are mostly white with broad brown streaks. Juveniles are dark brown on the upperparts and face, with a broad white "V" on their forehead. The breast and belly are lighter brown with few white markings. The adults have bright yellow eyes.
Life expectancy in the wild can reach 8 years, but rarely reaches more than 5 years. Most juveniles do not survive into their second year. Their life expectancy in captivity is unknown, but one captive owl lived for 16 years.
In the wild: northern saw-whet owls primarily catch woodland mice, especially deer mice. They also eat other types of mice, voles, shrews, and juveniles of small mammals such as chipmunks. They occasionally catch small birds (kinglets, wrens, sparrows, pygmy owls and others), along with insects such as grasshoppers and beetles.
At the zoo: Keepers feed them small mice.
Although generally monogamous, northern saw-whet owls form pairs that last only through the breeding season. They probably don't return to a specific nest site or partner each year. The female or the pair chooses a nest in abandoned flicker and pileated woodpecker cavities. They may also nest in manmade nest boxes. Males may attract mates by singing to them from a suitable nest cavity. Sometime between March and July, the female will lay a clutch of four to seven eggs (average is five to six) at two-day intervals. The male brings food to the female, which incubates the eggs for 27-29 days. The female rarely leaves the nest during incubation.
After hatching, the female broods the young for at least another 18 days. After this, she may assist the male with feeding for up to a month thereafter. If prey is abundant and it is not too late in the breeding season, she may leave the chicks and the male to find another male and hatch another brood. The young fledge 4-5 weeks from hatching, and are thought to be fully independent between 10-13 weeks old. It is thought that they begin breeding as early as 1 year old.
Chicks fledge at 32-40 days of age and are cared by the parents and helpers for an additional 6-8 weeks. Female offspring leave their natal territory at 1-2 years of age while males disperse at 2-4 years.
Northern saw-whet owls are solitary and nomadic except during the breeding season. By day, they commonly roost on lower branches of a large tree. They often return to the same tree day after day and can be found by the resulting pile of feces. Migration patterns of the northern saw-whet owl are quite varied. The patterns range from minor local changes in location to extensive movement from northern breeding ranges to southern North America.
Northern saw-whet owls make a number of different sounds including rhythmic toots, skews, twitters, barks and whining whistles.
The saw-whet owl is nocturnal and is ideally suited for hunting in darkness. They start hunting shortly after sunset and continue until just before sunrise. As is the case with most owls, northern saw-whet owls have large eyes that are well-suited for low light or night vision. They also have exceptional hearing and are more reliant on it as a sense for locating their prey. Also like some other owl species, the saw-whet possesses asymmetrical ear openings in its skull (one opening is located higher than the other). The asymmetrical layout allows the northern saw-whet owl to more easily distinguish both vertical and horizontal sound position. Lastly, its facial disk further amplifies sound.
Saw-whets are opportunistic hunters that rely on hunting perches, such as branches and fence posts along forest edges or other open areas. The saw-whet captures prey using its strong feet and sharp talons. Each foot has four toes, and the outer toe of each foot can be rotated in a number of positions. This allows the northern saw-whet owl to maximize the strength of its grip on its prey.
Saw-whet owls often eat only half of a captured prey item at one sitting. They cache the rest on a branch to eat later. Like other owls, northern saw-whets typically swallow most of their prey whole. In turn, their digestive system compresses indigestible parts of prey species (like bones, feathers and fur) into a small, compact pellet. Saw-whets regurgitate one 1 inch-long (2.54 cm) pellet a day.
A female northern saw-whet owl can be seen at the zoo's Raptor Center. Although it is not tethered outside like the other raptors, it is often held at the fence by staff or volunteers. Other birds that can be found at the Raptor Center include the bald eagle, gyrfalcon, Harris's hawk, turkey vulture and spectacled owl. Additionally, other owls can be seen in the zoo's Temperate Forest bioclimatic zone: a great gray or spotted owl adjacent to Bug World and a barn owl at the Family Farm.
Northern saw-whet owls are not an endangered species. They are fairly common across their range, but their numbers may drop due to development, removal of nesting snags and hazards encountered in migration. Logging in mature and old-growth forests also threatens their numbers. Other species of owls in the family Strigidae are not so fortunate, with at least 12 species listed as endangered. There is an escalation in human-caused changes in land use, and this affects the habitats and migratory corridors required by many raptors for survival. The timber and paper product industry removes vast forests, while industrial emissions pollute water and air resources.
As human communities expand and agricultural needs increase, they rapidly convert critical shoreline and riparian zone habitats. Illegal shooting and trapping also lower raptor numbers. It's only a matter of time until more raptor species may face extinction, unless we protect their habitats.
Humans need raptors. Here are only a few of the benefits raptors provide:
Northern saw-whet owls can be encouraged to nest in disturbed areas by putting up nest boxes. You can also preserve and provide habitat for breeding and roosting, even in your own backyard.
Efforts to save threatened and endangered raptors require cooperation and support at international, national, regional and individual levels. You can help in this cause. Join and become active in Woodland Park Zoo and other conservation organizations. Recycle forest products. Eliminate or reduce pesticide use. Support breeding programs for endangered birds of prey at zoos and other animal care organizations. Let your elected representatives know your views about the conservation of migratory birds and their wild habitats.

An Army Sergeant who convinced his girlfriend to molest her three year old child and then take pictures for his masturbatory fodder has pled guilty in federal court, this morning, to creating child pornography.
Wade Perkins, 26, faces up to 30 years in prison when he's sentenced in October. His now-former girlfriend, Kimberly Epperson, 25, pled guilty earlier this month and also faces a 30-year sentence.
The child, now four years old, has been placed in protective custody.
"There is only one victim and he is in counseling," Assistant US Attorney Tracy Thompson said.
According to the criminal complaint, obtained by 1200 WOAI, the pair started incorporating the child into their sex life in 2011. Perkins was returning from a trip to Oregon when he demanded Epperson perform sex acts on her son, and record it on her Galaxy S cell phone, which was then used to transmit the perverted pictures.
Perkinks apparently admitted to FBI that he's a master manipulator.

Oscar Date 411: George Clooney
If you've been following along this award season, you'll recognize the beautiful tall blonde standing next to nominee George Clooney tonight. It's Stacy Keibler, the hard to miss 5'11'' former Baltimore Ravens cheerleader and WWE Diva. While George, already an Oscar winner, is nominated tonight for his role in The Descendants, Stacy is known for work as a professional wrestler, her third-place finish on the second season of Dancing With the Stars, and now, for her high-profile relationship with George Clooney.
Stacy, 32, and George, 50, have been an item since last Summer, and the good-looking pair made their official red carpet debut as a couple at the NYC premiere of The Descendants last October. Tonight, Stacy tweeted: "We are off! I feel like I'm going to the prom." See pictures of their big date night now.
