Corey Knowlton
Like most of us I started hunting at a young age with my family. Mainly after upland birds with my father, grandfather, and mother. As I grew older, I wanted to turn my passion for hunting into my career. I started out guiding friends on Waterfowl hunts and then soon I landed my first real job in the outdoors as an assistant guide in Colorado hunting Mountain Lions. I saved all the money I could and used it to go on any big game hunt I could afford. After a few more years of experience, along with a partner I started a Hunting Consulting agency. Through this, I got to host trips and Guide hunters around the world. Over a decade ago I met a guy named Jim Shockey and he trusted me to book his first African Safari. Over the years, this relationship grew and grew and a few years, back we came up with the idea to show the world what really goes down on these crazy trips we go on. The name of the show is "Jim Shockey's The Professionals". After about 15 years at it I still love my job. My favorite part is getting to help someone make their outdoor dreams come true. I don't care if it is helping someone get their first Whitetail Deer in their own back yard or if we head after a Mystical Argali Ram on some distant jagged peak 7500 miles from home, I love it and I always will.

Brian Cope
Brian lives near Albany, Texas where he makes his living raising and riding horses, roping, and for the past 25 years, guiding on the world famous Nail Ranch. With countless clients and decades of hunting experience behind him, Brian has learned that no other brand in the world can be trusted in the field like Nosler. Wounding and chasing trophy-class whitetail in fields of prickly pear and thickets of thorny mesquite is not an option - which is why Brian keeps a Nosler Trophy Grade Rifle by his side along with Nosler AccuBond ammunition for guaranteed results, every time - no tracking required.
Team 144 was formed by three local Oregon guys that came together with a shared passion for firearms. After becoming friends and shooting together on a regular basis, we began competing in long range tactical matches, USPSA, and 3-Gun competitions. Soon after, we were granted sponsorship's by Nosler, Leupold, Radian Weapons and Benchmade knives. The name "Team 144" comes from Psalm 144 which the team believed was very appropriate. Ryan and Dan are in Law Enforcement and Kurt is a firefighter. We enjoy teaching others who share our passion for this sport. Look us up on Facebook : www.facebook.com/Team144

I feel so much offended when people who are not close to me (and sometimes even those who I think are close to me) starts talking about my Mama's case with so much fanfare, asks me how the case went and start giving their comments, like it's just somebody they have read from the tabloids.
Oftentimes I wish, I can slap them and remind them it's my Mama they are talking about, and no matter how many years passed, losing her in that manner is still one of most painful experience I had to go through.
Choosing to be quiet though, is still the best thing to do.
Knowing sorrow allows you to value joy. Going through difficult times gives you the courage to face anything with faith. Experiencing pain allows you to choose peace. Working on your lot, fully trusting God, gives you more compassion towards others.

Book Launch: Walking the Forest with Chico Mendes, by Gomercindo Rodrigues
Event Co-sponsors
Gomercindo Rodrigues, a lawyer and activist, began his work as a labor organizer in the state of Acre in the 1980s with the slain rubber tapper and pioneer of the Brazilian environmental movement, Chico Mendes. In his book, Walking the Forest with Chico Mendes, Rodrigues provides a rare and personal account of the events that defined Mendes' life as he struggled to promote environmental protection and social justice in the Amazon. This important work comes at a time when growing concern about the impacts of global climate change has sharpened debate about the future of the Amazon rainforest.
The Brazilian government, which has long struggled to balance environmental protection with development, is under increasing pressure, both domestic and international, to proactively manage and curb deforestation in the Amazon. As expanding agricultural exports and growing energy needs further complicate the country's environmental policy, there is compelling evidence and increasing recognition that immediate action is necessary. To highlight this pressing debate and consider Brazil's policy choices, the Brazil Institute convened a discussion on September 12, 2007, featuring Rodrigues and biologist Thomas E. Lovejoy, president of The Heinz Center, member of the Brazil Institute's Advisory Council, and a pioneering scholar on Amazon biodiversity.

John Sims knows what it's like to be in the minority.
He's a Democrat.
In Rio Blanco County, there aren't many of his kind.
"Yes, Democrats around town are hard to find," said Sims, who lives in Rangely and is chairman of the county Democratic Party.
Republicans outnumber Democrats more than four-to-one in Rio Blanco County, 2,691 to 607. There are even twice as many independent or unaffiliated voters in the county than there are Democrats, with 1,113 registering as independents or having no political party preference.
"Democrats are vastly outnumbered in Rio Blanco County," John said. "It's not impossible for a Democrat to be elected to a post, but it's very difficult."
The county's political leanings run contrary to other parts of the state, at least they did in this last general election. While Colorado, as a whole, backed Obama for president, Rio Blanco County voters overwhelmingly supported McCain and other Republican candidates, up and down the ticket.
Not only is Sims significantly outnumbered when it comes to political affiliation in the county, but he and his wife, Teresa, belong to different parties. She is a Republican.
When it comes to politics they may not always agree, but Teresa said they have some good discussions.
"Oh, yeah, we talk a lot," she said. "Some people get a little too emotional about it. But I like to talk to him. He thinks of things I don't."
Not that they always agree.
"I may have a different point of view, but I appreciate his input," Teresa said. "Sometimes it makes a difference; sometimes it doesn't. But I still like to hear it."
Actually, the Sims have found they have much in common politically, despite being affiliated with different parties.
"Oddly enough, we think a lot alike on a lot of things," John said.
Especially in this last presidential election. Both John and Teresa supported McCain.
"I did not vote for the man," John said. "I was not an Obama supporter. I just got turned off at our state convention. I just didn't like the way some of the things were conducted. It seemed like he had his own group of people, and if you weren't one of them, then that was too bad."
This was the third state Democratic convention John attended. And even though he has been a registered Democrat his entire adult life, he doesn't vote strictly according to political party.
"I've never voted a party ticket," he said. "I always vote a split ticket. I go by who the person is who is running for the office and what he has demonstrated to me as his qualities, abilities and interests, and if they agree with mine, whether Republican or Democrat. If I don't know much about either candidate, I vote for the Democrat."
During this last political campaign, John's favorite Democratic candidate at the time was Bill Richardson, the governor of New Mexico.
"Of course, that was before all of this other stuff (allegations of political bribery) came out, but I liked him," John said. "I didn't care much for Sen. Biden, and I didn't like Hilary (Clinton), but at least I felt like you knew what you were getting with her. And, frankly, her campaign seemed to be more open than his (Obama's) did."
Despite being a lifelong Democrat, John has found himself at odds with his party in recent years. He describes himself as a traditional Democrat.
"That's one, who first of all, believes in fiscal responsibility and accountability," John said. "And believes in a strong defense, but at the same time believes that everyone should be included in the process. Unfortunately, over time, the party has kind of sold out to various special-interest groups. They are trying to be all things to all people."
Asked about his favorite presidents, John named both Democrats and Republicans.
"I really liked Lincoln, and I liked Franklin Roosevelt," he said. "I even liked Harry Truman. And I can remember Eisenhower, I liked him. I liked Kennedy. I have no good opinion of Carter. I think he was one of our worst presidents. I liked Reagan. Clinton, I have mixed emotions about. He did a really good job on some things, but he disgraced the office with some of the other things he did."
John watched last week's inauguration, and even though he didn't vote for Obama, he's hoping for the best.
"I hope things work out well with Obama," John said. "He's had to tone down some of his stuff. He's come to face the realties of the situation he's been handed. I think that's why he's tempering a lot of things he said he would like to do. But he's an unknown quantity. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I hope the country does well under him."
Another county Democrat, Reed Kelley, said last week's inauguration was a proud moment for the party.
"I don't know how any Democrat could feel like they're in the minority, no matter what county they might live in," Kelley said. "The responsibility and opportunity we now have, however, is awesome, to truly rebuild America, as President Obama says, and restore public trust in government, of the people, by the people, for the people. Here forward, we no longer have Bush and his cronies to blame."
Besides John Sims, the other officers of the Democratic Party in Rio Blanco County are Sandra Besseghini, vice chairwoman; and Kelley, who is treasurer/secretary.
"The Republicans carry the county so heavily," Sims said, adding, "We also have a lot of people (in the county) who are Democrats, but who register independent, so they can vote in the primary. Most elections in the county are determined in the primary."
Sims would like to see a change in the way county commissioners are elected.
"When it comes to county politics, I'm really disappointed our county is divided up and the way county commissioners are elected," he said. "I feel the county commissioner should be elected by the district he serves and represents, rather than the whole county. I think that should be changed."
Listening to last week's inauguration on the radio, I was reminded that this is the first time I have been older than the president.
Of course, last week's inauguration was historically significant because Obama is the first African-American to become president of the United States.
"I reflected on these things, in particular being a graduate of Topeka High School — the Brown vs. Board of Education district, with its complicated racial history and how that opened my eyes as a high school student," said Trina Zagar-Brown, a Meeker attorney, who grew up in Topeka, Kan. "I also remember my brother-in-law's dad telling us the story that when he played basketball at KU with Wilt Chamberlain there were many restaurants that refused to allow Wilt to sit with the white team members when they ate out as a team. Consequently, the team would leave that restaurant, or they would take their food to eat with the black players.
"It is interesting to reflect on these things," Zagar-Brown said, "when they seem almost unbelievable."
I've overheard a couple of people telling racial jokes about the new president or his wife. People will always poke fun at the president or other political leaders. Myself, I enjoy political satire. But telling an off-color joke about the president, or referring to him or his wife as a "monkey," now that is in poor taste, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat.

Seasoning question
Hello All! So tonight I'm going to make white chili but I'm going to use rabbit instead of chicken for the first time. I have read that rabbit takes seasoning better than chicken and I don't want to over season it. Does anyone have a general rule for seasoning when substituting rabbit for chicken in recipes? This is my first time cooking with rabbit other than just frying it and for some reason I'm nervous about it. Thanks in advance.

Re: Seasoning question
What seasonings do you use in your white chili? I've never felt I over-seasoned rabbit dishes, but you could use a little less, do a taste test when the meat is cooked through and then adjust them.

Re: Seasoning question
The recipe calls for lemon pepper, cumin, and fresh garlic. I omitted the lemon pepper and increased the cumin. It turned out pretty good but I think I should've left the lemon pepper in.

Alcohol-related disorders are more common in children than previously believed, according to new research.
We've all seen the Surgeon General's warning: Pregnant women should not drink. But many moms-to-be (about 1 in 13) still do—whether it's having an occasional celebratory glass of wine, a regular nightcap or a more serious struggle with alcohol addiction. And despite what you might have heard, new research suggests that all of these scenarios can harm your baby.
If you've had a drink or two since learning you were pregnant, don't panic, but you might want to think twice before you have another. As many as 1 in 5 American children, many of whom seem happy and healthy, could have one of the fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD), according to a new study in the November issue of Pediatrics. This is way above the old estimate of 1 percent of the U.S. population.
FASD is a term that describes a number of health and behavioral problems, including fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS), partial fetal alcohol syndrome (PFAS) and Alcohol Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder (ARND). These conditions frequently cause recognizable symptoms like abnormal facial features (a smooth ridge between the nose and upper lip), lower-than-average height and/or weight, small eye openings and smaller than average heads.
But not all affected children have the hallmark features, which is why previous studies may have underestimated the prevalence. "Many of the features do not look extremely abnormal, and the behaviors and cognitive abilities can also blend into the normal range," says lead researcher Dr. Philip May, a professor of public health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. What's more, the new evidence suggests that behavioral conditions, like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), in otherwise "normal" children could be linked to a pregnant woman's drinking, too.
Dr. May and his team focused on first-graders from a range of socioeconomic groups in a nationally-representative town in the Midwest, with an average alcohol consumption rate about 14 percent higher than the rest of America. The study found that 6 to 9 per 1,000 children suffered from FAS, 11 to 17 in 1,000 children has PFAS and a total of 24 to 48 per 1,000 children had FASD of some kind.
The Problem with Drinking While Pregnant
There's no safe amount or type of alcohol when you're pregnant, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Research from the National Institutes of Health shows that binge drinking (four or more drinks on one occasion) puts the fetus at the most risk, but even lesser amounts of alcohol can have a detrimental effect. That's because during pregnancy alcohol passes through your baby's bloodstream in the same concentrations that it passes through yours -- and can interfere with the development of organs, including the brain. Even low levels of alcohol can play a role in miscarriage, premature birth, stillbirth and sudden infant death syndrome, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.
And every pregnancy is different. Even if you had a healthy baby after drinking while pregnant before, the baby you're carrying now could still be harmed, ACOG says. The risk of harming your baby from drinking alcohol also increases as you get older.
But despite a strong stance against drinking while pregnant from the government and organizations like the March of Dimes, many women are still doing it. Experts blame partners who drink and social pressures. "Knowing that one should not drink during pregnancy and practicing that are often two different things," Dr May said. "There are social pressures to drink on certain occasions when you're pregnant. There are times when women say, as soon as I know I have a verified pregnancy, then I'll quit drinking. That may be too late."
Adding to the problem is conflicting advice. A 2010 study from Britain found that women who had two to six drinks per week early in the pregnancy tended to have children with more positive behavior than women who didn't drink at all. Meanwhile, another British study last year said light drinking during pregnancy is not linked to adverse behavioral or cognitive outcomes in children.
Study author Dr. Eugene Hoyme, MD, professor of pediatrics and medical genetics at the University of South Dakota believes these studies are misleading and belie the serious risks of drinking while pregnant. "There have been few things in prenatal medicine that have been researched as extensively as the effect of alcohol. The great preponderance of evidence in humans and in animals shows that alcohol is by far and away the most dangerous external agent women can expose themselves to in pregnancy."
Bottom line is, women who are pregnant, considering pregnancy or who may become pregnant should not drink. "No safe amount, no safe time and no safe type of alcohol exists during pregnancy," said Dr Leigh Tenkku Lepper, PhD, director of research at the University of Missouri's School of Social Work, who has been given funding by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to prevent FASD. "If moms-to-be know the dangers, why would they take the risk?"
7 Ways to Stop Drinking
Tempted by that beer with friends or champagne at a wedding? These tips from ACOG can help:
- If you're ordering at the bar, opt for a club soda with a lime. No one will be the wiser. Or try a mocktail.
- Stick around people who help you not drink (including those who would be happy to not drink around you if they know you'd be tempted)
- Avoid risky places and situations like bars and clubs if they make you want to drink. At parties, stay away from the drinks table and closer to the snacks.
- If you smoke, quit. Apart from the obvious risk to your baby, cigs increase your cravings to drink.
- Drink lots of water. It keeps you less thirsty for the hard stuff.
- Exercise – those endorphins help you knock back your cravings
- Keep stress at bay: take a bath, meditate or take some deep breaths when you're feeling a craving

The first series of Spooks: Code 9 has barely finished and left BBC Three viewers keen to know the fate of the young group of MI5 agents charged with the protection of Britain in 2013. We've nabbed the show's executive producer Karen Wilson for a chat about the cliffhanger ending, the future, the critics and more.
Let's go straight to the very end of the finale and that ambiguous freeze frame ending - was it always planned to end like that or were any alternative endings filmed?
"We always planned to leave it on a cliffhanger. It gives us more to play with if and when we come back. So yes, it was very intentional on our part. I liked the fact that it's as much a cliffhanger about one of our characters as it is about the events of the bomb. Is Rachel going to survive and is the bomb going to go off? Neither were resolved before the end and I personally quite liked that. It's paying homage to the Spooks model."
That final 'negative effect' on the final shot could be seen as suggesting that the bomb has gone off...
"Ah, because of the whiteout. That's interesting! Yeah, that's unintentional. That's just because we always go for a negative image."
Are plans underway for a second series?
"We are still waiting to hear from the BBC about a second series. I would hope we would know within the next couple of weeks."
Are the cast contracted for another year?
"Most of them are, yes. I can't say who, but most of them are."
At the beginning of the series the show received a lot of criticism for being associated with Spooks. Do you think having that brand association prevented some viewers from judging the show in its own right?
"I think that is always the danger with a spinoff, certainly. It was a big discussion between the BBC and Kudos and we expected that kind of backlash. It's interesting for BBC Three to have brought, probably, an audience to the channel that wouldn't have come to it if it wasn't called Spooks. But I think there is a fair argument for the fact that it is a very different show to Spooks and therefore did attract criticism for it. It was taking an overall view that everyone wanted to keep the brand - and that was a big part of the commission as well."
BBC Three targets the youth demographic. Were there any concessions you had to make, such as the early nightclub scenes, to pander to that audience?
"I think that it's tricky. It was always tricky. You're making an espionage show for 16-24s and a big part of the premise was thinking about what situation would mean that young spies were recruited to MI5 and then keeping characters that our audience can engage with. The audience should be thinking could they, would they or should they, in an event like that, become spies themselves. Seeing them having fun felt right for those characters - clubbing and all the rest of it goes on for that age group. You've got an important job, but you still need to let your hair down."
Looking back, what do you think worked best on Code 9?
"That's a very good question. I think the cast are superb - I'm really thrilled with how they worked out. It was a very long process to bring that group of people together and I think we have some very exciting actors of the future in that mix. I loved the times where you saw more of the 2013 world - the checkpoints and the anti-radiation stuff. The subtle things that showed we were in a world that was slightly different to the world we're in now. Prospect Towers just in itself was a really interesting world to explore, where all these people from London had been rehoused… it's something we'd like to explore if we get a second series."
The premise of the show - that the 2012 London games have been targeted by terrorists - is a very real threat. Were there any problems, perhaps with the BBC, about going ahead with such a storyline?
"Yes, of course. There has been a lot of discussion with editorial policy and the channel and the commissioners. I think that it's been handled in a way that we set it up without referring to it by name or number and hopefully it's just establishing a context. But yes, there was a lot of discussion about it."

This is a little entry a homage to my beautiful daughter, pictures taken the lasts days of Summer, after she found out her exam results. Sometimes we fight, we argue a lot but there are a few precious times when we connect so deeply... The More she grows the more I treasure her personality too.
I can't write very well hence probably why I take picures, i found a way to share and express emotions I can't with words, as cheap or pretentious as it might be to quote Shakespeare night is catching up on me and I can't find right now or think of a better poem for her or to cuddle this pictures of her.
I hope you like them.I have tried to give them a continuty through colour, a way to express the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn.
Thank you for visiting I hope you enjoy my work.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

When betting on horses, people know that they need to indicate the winner, but there are different types of horse betting. Bookmakers and those who operate over the Internet in particular allow their members to wager on different markets and depending on the outcome, they can collect more or less money.
They are also presented with the option of competing against the house or amongst themselves, in the case of betting exchanges and each type of wager has its advantages and shortcomings.
What is Parimutuel betting
This is by far the most popular type of wagering, especially among UK residents, with players competing against each other instead of trying to defeat the bookmaker. In the absence of any taxes or hidden commissions, players know that at the end of the day someone will emerge victorious and it won't be the house. There are differences between the Parimutuel betting and the standard fixed odds wagers, with the latter having the advantage of allowing players to know from the beginning how much they could win.
Common types of horse betting
The most straightforward bet is on the winning horse, which just as the name suggests requires players to correctly predict the one that crosses the finish line first. The other choice is to bet on the runner-up as well, so you win if your chosen horse finishes in the first or second place.
The Each Way wager is slightly different because players need to double their investment but in exchange they cash in if the horse finishes on one of the two places. In the same category, there is the Swinger wager, which enables players to select two horses that compete in the same race, therefore the winning combinations are more numerous. The condition is for both horses to win a placing in the competition.
Quad Pot implies that players choose a horse for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth races, while the Scoop Six bets are aimed exclusively at those events scheduled on Saturday. On the other hand, the Place Pot covers all British races and is a winning bet if the horse places in each of the six races. Trifecta is one of the types of horse betting that requires the players to correctly choose the runners in the correct order. By comparison, Exacta only demands players to indicate the names of the first two horses, in the right order.

Random Ramblings
As usual this morning, I sat down to eat breakfast while I read my email this morning. At the bottom of one of the emails, I noticed Nick from my Knitting parent's group has a business listed in her signature line. It's for wool soakers. Now, I've heard all you knitting moms talk about finding patterns for wool soakers and stuff, but I really honestly had no idea what they are. After all, I don't use cloth diapers, nor do I plan to. I know if I did, I would never be able to get DH to change a diaper again. He has icky issues. He can't even wash the dishes if he has to get his hands wet or dirty in any way. I suppose we would have to give him rubber gloves, but I know that at that point it would be too much like work and I would just end up doing all the diaper changing. Back to wool soakers. These are little wool pants, or diaper covers that you use instead of the plastic covers that you buy at the store. Why use wool? Well, apparently it's antimicrobial, highly absorbent, and if it contains lanolin it is virtually waterproof. They're also much better looking. I'm a little disturbed by the fact Nick says they don't need to be washed after each use, though. That just sounds icky to me, but I don't really want to be hand washing soakers after each use either... I am intrigued, though, I might have to make some up for my DD who has decided that she wants to start potty training. At this point, she doesn't have much advanced warning before she has to go, and most of the time she happily sits on the potty after she has in fact gone in her diaper.
The Knitting Parents were also talking about the fact that our wonderful listmom Christine has a Roomba. This is a fantastic little robot vacuum machine. It'll run around your living room cleaning up, then go back to it's base and charge it's self. What a nice, well behaved little guy! I actually don't mind vacuuming. It's the obligatory picking up of all objects on the floor that bothers me. Every morning I get up and think "Hmm I haven't vacuumed in a while. Yep, there are cheereos under the table, and yarn scraps on the floor. I should vacuum this morning before all the toys come out. I'll do that right after breakfast." Inevitably, I'll sit down to eat my cereal while I read my email and when I'm done the floor will be covered with various "Kid" objects. This morning, this isn't so bad, but includes, 2 packages of wipes, a green beaded necklace, 4 or 5 videos and their cases, diapers, jammies, blankets, and a disassembled swiffer that Shaya was "cleaning" with. Sometimes, I really do think that when I turn my back objects silently fall from the ceiling. This does not include the usual computer paper with crayon scrawled on it. My kids like to draw, but they will draw just a few things on one sheet of paper, bring it to me all folded up "I have a present for you mommy!" and then dump it on the floor after I look at it to get a new one. Every day I throw away at least a dozen of these presents. It's amazing how trashed a room can look with 12 pieces of colored on paper on the floor.
My least favorite jobs around the house used to be laundry and dishes. This was probably due to my incredible procrastination abilities. As we speak, I am sitting here typing instead of moving the laundry over to the dryer. I blame this once again on the poor defenseless 4 week old baby who is sitting in my lap. He had a rough night and apparently can't sleep in his bassinet, he needs mommy's lap. Amazing that the twitching of my left arm under his head as I type doesn't seem to bother him. Anyway, I hated dishes and laundry. I would wait to do laundry until I completely ran out of underwear, or the kids did, or something, then I would only do 1 or 2 loads of laundry that were the most necessary, and of course they would never get folded. Since they weren't folded, I didn't have any baskets free for more clean laundry... It was a vicious cycle. I am really fond of Flylady's 1 load of laundry a day, though. I feel so accomplished when I have done a load and folded and put it away. Folding laundry doesn't seem so daunting when it's only 1 load. After all, that's what 3 pairs of pants and like 5 shirts. The procrastination also translated into the dishes. It was truly disgusting which definitely makes you hate it even more. Now, as long as I rinse things and put them in the dishwasher at least every night, my kitchen is shining. True, I have a load of dishes that need to be unloaded, but hey! I have a baby that needs holding right?! I also have a mother's day scarf that needs 4 1/2 more repeats of lace on it, but we won't talk about that right now.
Someone also asked what we all do with those little short scraps of yarn left over from projects. You know, the ones too small to constitute a ball, but seem like they might actually be useful? Apparently some people have difficulty throwing them away. I hate to be wasteful, but I KNOW that I won't actually drag them out to do craft projects with the kids. Heck, I don't even pull out the craft supplies that we do have! I'm too lazy to pick up the mess afterwards. So, if I kept the scraps, they would just be additional clutter, so they go into the trash. I suppose I could be keeping them and donate to our little stash raffle that we have going on. Somehow, I don't think that anyone wants MORE scraps of yarn though. Someone said you could put them out for the birds to make nests from. Hey, you out there in blog land could have lots of pretty scraps of yarn for your birds to make colorful nests out of! And since some of them are wool, it would work as "wool soakers" for all those little bird babies, and those poor over worked bird mommies wouldn't have to clean their nests except every few weeks!
Hmm, I think I should step away from the keyboard and do some laundry. I'll post pictures of the aforementioned mother's day scarf once the rampant silliness has worn off.

Breaking Down The FTC Letters Sent To Over 90 Celebs, Influencers, & Brands
Subscribe to our industry digest for the latest news and trends on top Instagrammers, YouTubers, bloggers, & Snapchatters!
A Closer Look At The FTC Letters Sent To 90 Celebs, Brands, & Influencers Who Violated Endorsement Guidelines
In April, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sent letters to more than 90 celebrities, influencers, and brands reminding them of the FTC's endorsement and disclosure regulations. Though enforcement has been erratic, the FTC has long been aware of the problems of influencers and celebrities failing to properly disclose sponsored content on their social media channels.
In the past, the FTC has filed complaints against large companies like Lord & Taylor, Sony, and Warner Bros. for social media and digital advertising disclosure violations, but it's increased its focus on influencers in recent months. In sending out notices, the FTC may be indicating that it's going to be paying closer attention to influencer posts (and maybe even holding influencers accountable). We're breaking down the letter that was sent to influencers to get a better understand of what the FTC explained to influencers and how things may or may not change as a result.
The FTC Letter Called Out Specific "Sponsored" Instagram Posts
The template letter that the FTC sent to influencers is available on the ftc.gov website. There's some valuable guideline information in the letter, along with portions and sections set aside to be filled in with influencer-specific details. One of those sections is for individual Instagram posts.
(click to enlarge)
The inclusion of specific posts is a clear indication that the FTC is monitoring Instagram posts for compliance. Given the current platform and disclosure requirements, it would be impossible for the FTC to monitor the platform as a whole, but it's clearly keeping an eye on top influencers (where over 90% of top celebrities don't follow FTC guidelines on Instagram). These letters are as close as the FTC's ever come to taking action against individual influencers and the call out of individual post violations makes it clear that the FTC is watching and may take action in the future.

The FTC Letter Also Explained The Meaning Of A "Material Connection"
The concept at the core of the FTC's endorsement and disclosure guidelines is a "material connection" — essentially a relationship between an influencer and a brand wherein the relationship "might affect the weight or credibility that consumers give the endorsement."
Typically we think of material connections in terms of payment or some kind of exchange of goods or services in return for favorable posts, but material connections can also include a personal or family relationship between the endorser and the brand. The letter goes on to explain that if there's a "material connection" between the "endorser" and the brand in the photo, that connection should be disclosed "clearly and conspicuously."
The FTC's Letter Outlined Proper Disclosure
The final key portion of the letter explains what constitutes a compliant disclosure—the FTC requires disclosures to be "clear" and "conspicuous."
With the clear and conspicuous guideline come a few key principles. First, disclosures should use "unambiguous language." That means no potentially confusing hashtags like #sp or #spon, which aren't a clear indication of ads or sponsored content.
Disclosures should also be in close proximity to the content in question. That means no blanket statements in bios or on other pages and no disclosures below "more" cuts. If influencers are disclosing via hashtags, the proper disclosure hashtag (like #sponsored or #ad) shouldn't be buried or obscured in a collection of hashtag so that it gets lost. The reigning principle behind proper disclosures is that consumers should be able to discern quickly and easily that sponsored content is sponsored.
With the FTC's letters to over 90 celebs, influencers, and brands, it's clear that the FTC will be monitoring influencer marketing on Instagram and other platforms more closely in the future. It's well aware that top celebrities and influencers are regularly violating disclosure regulations — the question is how long it'll take it to enforce the rules beyond warning letters.

How to Analyze Media Investments
Persuasive Advertising focuses on how to develop persuasive ads, but not on how to deliver those ads to customers. Here are five methods that can be used to decide a media budget as well as how to allocate that spending across various media. I start with the weakest method and work towards the strongest. Ideally, one should use all five methods, but put more weight on the findings from the stronger methods.
1. Last year's advertising expenditures for the brand. This method assumes that last year's advertising was optimal. The task is to determine how expected changes in the future would affect changes in the ad budget.
2. Typical expenditures for the firms in your industry. The typical expenditure method assumes that one's competitors are rational and that it is not wise to depart substantially from typical behavior unless there are strong reasons to do so. This is usually a reasonable assumption although advertising warfare and hysteria (such as with the advertising during the dot.com bubble) create problems.
3. The elasticity method and Wright's Rule. To apply the elasticity method, you can start by assuming that an advertising campaign will have a typical elasticity of about +0.1. This is based on the Sethuraman and Tellis (1991), Tellis (2009) and related papers summarizing over 260 estimates of elasticities. Better yet, find the elasticity for your situation considering the type of product type and the media. You can get some idea for this from Table 1 in the Setheraman and Tellis paper. For example, the elasticity for durable goods is about 0.23 while that for nondurables is about 0.03. The elasticity for TV commercials is about 0.03 while that for print ads is about 0.17.
The elasticity would be higher if your campaign followed the prescribed principles, and lower if it violated principles. In addition, elasticities are higher in the introductory phase of a product. They are lower at the brand level than at the industry level if the competitive brands tend to match their competitors advertising expenditures (Assmus, Farley & Lehman 1984).
Once you have an estimate of the elasticity, apply Wright's Rule (Wright 2009) set the advertising budget at a level equal to the elasticity times the gross margin on each item of the product being advertised times the forecasted sales.
For products that have been advertised for some time, the elasticity method can also be used to examine modest changes in proposed advertising expenditures. For example, to assess the impact of an increase of 10% on advertising expenditures, use the elasticity to assess the changes in the number of additional units that would be sold, then calculate the change in the gross margin that would be achieved.
4. Decomposition. Take a complex problem, break it down by parts, estimate each part, and then combine them. It is especially useful when the breakdown allows one to draw upon different sources of knowledge and when each of the components is subject to less uncertainty than is the global estimate of elasticity. For evidence on the effectiveness of this method, see MacGregor (2001).
Determine elements of the process by which an ad can lead to behavioral change. The decomposition procedure will guide you through this process. Here is a possible format for a print ad. There are a number of other ways one might use to structure the decomposition such as:
*See the Glossary for an explanation of elasticities.
5. Experimentation. Field experiments are ideal, given that it is feasible and economical to obtain information on response to the ads.

Control Groups in Psychosocial Intervention Research: Ethical and Methodological Issues
Street, Linda L.
Luoma, Jason B.
Bibliographic Citation
Ethics and Behavior 2002; 12(1): 1-30
This article summarizes a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) workshop that was convened to address the ethical and methodological issues that arise when conducting controlled psychosocial interventions research and introduces 6 thoughtful and inspiring papers presented by workshop participants. These papers, on topics ranging from informed consent to ethnic minority issues, reflect the depth and breadth of expertise represented by the multidisciplinary group of scientists and ethicists present at the meeting. More extensive follow-up, particularly from federal research applications and publications, of how investigators balance the need for strong research design with ethical considerations may help advance the science of psychosocial intervention research.

Moda Marine's innovative BV8000 Wheelhouse might look like it's straight out of a sci-fi flick, but how does it stack up on the water? We sent Kevin Smith to find out...
FROM THE ARCHIVES: First published in TrailerBoat #280, April 2012
If a plate-aluminium boat ever made a fashion statement, the BV8000, from Queensland-based Moda Marine, would steal the show. Moda is Italian for fashion and style, and one glance quickly confirms this boat's aesthetics received plenty of attention at the design stage.
Yes, the BV8000 Wheelhouse stands out as a boating fashion statement both on and off the trailer, representing a seamless blend of stylish, flowing lines with a no-compromise, heavy-duty build.
When I first laid eyes on it I thought it looked like something from a sci-fi movie - something that belonged in outer space, not on the water. Its cigar-boat-esque design demanded attention, as did the twin 150 Mercs on the back - but how did it rate on the water?
I was about to find out.
Our test for this boat kicked off at Sandstone Point in south-east Queensland, just south of Bribie Island, and our destination was the Tangalooma wrecks - which just so happens to be one of my favourite spots. It's also a perfect run for testing a boat's capabilities, as the 28km crossing cops a beating from both wind and current most of the time, giving a good indication of any boat's handling and ride.
Before I slammed the hammer down, however, I had a thorough look at the BV8000's workmanship - and the good news begins with the boat's trailer.
An 8m boat definitely requires a decent trailer, and Moda Marine has spared no expense in custom-building this one. Rated to four tonnes, a combination of boxed and channel aluminium has been used to create one hell of a sturdy frame, with dual axles and alloy rims.
That attention carries on throughout the entire boat, which has been constructed more like a commercial vessel, but with a far more refined and professional finish. It looks solid, and definitely feels that way too.
The BV8000 takes the wheelhouse layout to the next level, and in this package there's a bucket-load of features to please the fussiest of boaters. At the stern are those twin Mercury 150s - a pod setup with dual side-steps for easy access to and from the water. It's a nice design, but it could do with some grabrails as standard.
Another interesting design aspect is in the way the recessed tubes are built into the false transom, with one side housing a safety canister, while the other holds some dry storage. Having the safety canister accessible like that is quite a neat feature. Also built into this section is a plumbed livewell and full-length rear lounge, with access to the plumbing and batteries behind. Speaking of the plumbing and batteries, I noted that both were protected from the elements by a hinged section of tinted Perspex - a durable and classy alternative to vinyl or other lower-grade materials.
The gunwales have a full-length heavy-duty grabrail, with large sidepockets and colour-coded padding to match the rest of the upholstery. On our test model, the outrigger mounts were in the gunwales, along with LED lighting.
The BV8000's wheelhouse was a highlight. Once you step inside it feels like you've just climbed into an executive sportscar. It has stand-up, bucket-style seating that locks you in nice and tight for high-speed driving, along with a beautifully moulded fibreglass dash with electronic gadgets galore, plus a huge screen and fibreglass hardtop, with optional clears along the sides.
Behind the seating there's another cleverly designed area that could work as a mini-bar owing to its drinkholders, a small hatch that could be filled with ice, as well as built-in chopping boards.
Of course, it also serves as the perfect bait station for the fishos.
Moving forward, the wheelhouse has an angled front section that opens upwards. This has a built-in toilet that can also be used for storage or as a change room. The door here serves as the frame for the innovative bow cover, which is easy to assemble and does its job well.
Why would you use it? Well, the BV8000 has a true bowrider-style layout, and covering it provides protection from the elements and a sleeping area if required. The vinyl-covered seating matches the rest of the craft and looks very stylish.
As I've mentioned, this machine looks like it was meant to fly rather than float on the water, but a closer inspection of its twin outboards raised an eyebrow. It was fitted with a pair of 2000-model Mercury 150s, and I was stunned to see a pair of old-style motors on such a new, high-tech machine. At first I was less than impressed, but after chatting to the manufacturer the reason became clear - he simply wanted to avoid placing unnecessary hours on new engines.
I might add these motors were in good condition, and the old two-stroke EFIs certainly weren't lacking in the performance department.
The BV8000 is designed to go fast, and that's exactly what it does. As far as plate-boat performance goes, this boat is above average in most areas, from down low in the rev range through to its top end. Throughout the speed trials it maintained decent stability, reacted well to trim, and had no problems in cornering at a fair clip.
The run to Tangalooma generally isn't great thanks to the reverse currents and wind, and on the test day we had a 15-18kt south-easter blowing, which turned the main channel upside down. Due to the BV8000's phenomenal handling I had two options for the run over to the wrecks: smash the hammers down and get there as quickly as possible, or sit back and relax at the optimum cruise speed. In the rough channel I cranked it up to 40kts (74kmh) and although it handled the onslaught without a worry, I opted to come back down to a more civilised cruise speed of around 30kts (55.6kmh). Back in the lee of Moreton Island we managed to wind it up to 46kts (85.2kmh) at 5800rpm, which is pretty damn fast.
Now if the BV8000 performed like this with the older Mercs, can you imagine what it would do with a pair of brand-spankers? I'm sure it would be quite something, to say the least...
If you're on the hunt for a boat that's flash, trendy, retro, stylish, hip, fast, well finished, well constructed, and performs like lightning, your search may well be over.
The BV8000 might have a fair price tag ($125,000 with new Mercury outboards), but for your money you'll be getting a truly unique design and an exceptional level of construction and finish. It's the old, "you get what you pay for". This particular demo boat is up for grabs, and you can always save some bucks by picking it up with the older engines, as tested.
What would you use it for, apart from showing off? Well, primarily it's a modelling boat, but it's also a multipurpose fishing boat - although you might find yourself in a spot of bother with the wife when you dirty it with fish blood!
On the plane...
Beautiful finish
Heavy-duty construction
Superb handling and ride at speed
Several innovative features
Dragging the chain...
Would have liked a test with new motors
Would have preferred proper wheelhouse seats (an option)

As winter releases its icy grip on the nation's midsection, NOAA weather forecasters and hydrologists now contend with the possibility of significant flooding from rapid snow melt. Flooding and flash flooding are occurring now in several states from the plains of southeastern Colorado to central Indiana. A strong spring storm system moving east from the Pacific is expected to make conditions worse over the coming weekend.
"Considerable snow pack developed over much of the central part of the country since late December," said Mike Looney, chief of Services Division at the NOAA National Weather Service Central Region Headquarters in Kansas City, Mo. "Warmer temperatures over the past few days have really increased the rate of melting snow. The presence of saturated soils in many areas is compounded by the fact that the soil is frozen a few inches below the surface. Since frozen soil can't absorb the moisture, it's all turning to runoff."
"Some low-lying and poorly-drained areas already are experiencing flooding, and there have been a number of local and county roads closed by high water in several states. As temperatures get warmer, the snow, holding 1-3 inches of water, melts that much faster, so it won't take much rain to cause really significant flooding," added Looney.
A major winter storm is expected to develop over the northern and central Rockies on Friday, moving across the Central Plains through the weekend. The weekend forecast calls for showers and thunderstorms over northeast Kansas and northwest Missouri into the Mississippi and Ohio River valleys as moisture from the Gulf of Mexico collides with the cold air wrapping around the winter storm. The warm side of the winter storm will produce rain. Heavy rain and possible severe weather may occur across central Nebraska and much of Kansas on Friday, spreading east through the weekend. On the cold side of the winter storm, blizzard conditions are possible across parts of northeast Kansas, northwest Missouri into eastern Nebraska and western Iowa.
The NOAA National Weather Service has two Web sites that provide flood statements and warning information as well as graphical depictions of current conditions on stream beds. The NOAA Hydrologic Information Center's map of forecast offices at provides information on current conditions for individual drainage areas across the country. Current river stage and forecast information is available on the NOAA Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service national map. The latest information regarding the threat of severe weather is available from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center.
NOAA National Weather Service Central Region forecast offices with flash flood or flood statements and warnings in effect include Riverton, Wyo.; Pueblo, Colo.; Dodge City, Kan.; Kansas City, Mo.; St. Louis, Mo.; Central Illinois at Lincoln; Northern Indiana at Syracuse; and Indianapolis. High water has already forced closure of many rural roads in low lying areas of those states.
NOAA's current Significant River Flood Outlook issued Feb. 20 locates the highest possibility of significant river flooding in eastern Iowa, northeast Missouri, southeast Minnesota, southern Wisconsin, the northwestern three-fourths of Illinois and extreme northwest Indiana.
Looney said runoff from the melting snow has raised the level of some mainstream rivers above flood stage, but that flooding is worse on many smaller tributaries becoming overwhelmed by the volume of water.
"We encourage everyone to use caution in low-lying areas this weekend," Looney said, "especially in areas that get any rain at all. We caution all motorists to avoid driving into flood waters no matter how well they know an area. Flood waters can undermine roads, washing them away with no sign of the damage done. Quiet little streams already are becoming raging torrents, and those conditions only are going to get worse as temperatures rise and rain moves in."
NOAA, an agency of the U.S. Commerce Department, is celebrating 200 years of science and service to the nation. From the establishment of the Survey of the Coast in 1807 by Thomas Jefferson to the formation of the Weather Bureau and the Commission of Fish and Fisheries in the 1870s, much of America's scientific heritage is rooted in NOAA. NOAA is dedicated to enhancing economic security and national safety through the prediction and research of weather and climate-related events and information service delivery for transportation, and by providing environmental stewardship of the nation's coastal and marine resources. Through the emerging Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), NOAA is working with its federal partners, more than 60 countries and the European Commission to develop a global monitoring network that is as integrated as the planet it observes, predicts and protects.

My family has been vacationing in the Florida Keys for as long as I can remember. Although we've gone almost every year, this year was my favorite yet. My parents rented a beautiful 3-story house on the Gulf of Mexico in Marathon, just down the street from where my Aunt, Uncle, and cousin rented. It was my niece Alexa's first trip to the keys, and I had a great time making memories with her and my nephew Aiden. I saw a few of my oldest friends, from my sorority little sister, Liz, picking me up from the airport, to my friend Shannon staying with my family the first weekend, and my friend Emilee and her family staying in the Keys the same week. We had perfect weather for spending the day out on the boat lobstering, fishing, snorkeling, and wasting an afternoon at the sandbar. Our nights were filled with delicious home cooked meals, beautiful sunsets, drinks by the pool, hysterical games of Cards Against Humanity, and sitting on the porch watching the thunder and lightning storms roll in.
We've already begun planning next year's trip, but first, take a look at my a few of my favorite memories from our Florida Keys vacation this year.
{My Phi Mu little sister, Liz, picked me up from the airport to grab dinner & drinks and catch up. We hadn't seen each other in 2 1/2 years so naturally we spun in a circle hugging and crying on the airport curb}
{So happy I was able to spend some time with Emilee, who I've known since we were both in strollers}
{Greg and I enjoying a beautiful day out on the water in the Gulf of Mexico}
{view of the sunset from our house in Marathon}
{my friend Shannon and I reminiscing on our days dressing up like the Spice Girls}
{Alexa (4) right before jumping in the ocean for the first time. She's a pro now!}
{Greg's Birthday dinner: steak & fresh-caught lobster}
{my parents with Aiden & Alexa}
{I loved waking up and not knowing what day of the week it was. Missing the Keys already}

Alyssa Passmore
Former Student Representative
Sales Representative for
Kansas Art Education Association
Dear University Supervisor and Aspiring Students:
|Alyssa at YAM as Vincent YAM Gogh
There is an exciting opportunity on the KAEA Board this year as the Student Representative position is open and ready for a new eager student. This role consists of recruiting and organizing student volunteers, communicating with supervisors across the state about the student scholarships, as well as organizing a small art activity at the Youth Art Month Celebration at Topeka. There are also 7 board meetings a year held in Salina, KS.
The board has been an inspiring and monumental experience in my life and I want to encourage everyone to become a part of it and share the benefits of being a part of KAEA. The board consists of a variety of talented art teachers from across the state opening up doors for interviewing and networking. Conference involvement looks impressive to future employers and shows leadership. The experience also helps develop leadership skills, organization skills, and advocacy points. The personal relationships between the board members is another perk, it is a great resource to have 20 mentors that are veteran teachers in the field.
Student representatives have come from all over the state and with the board meetings centrally located it allows for many students in art education to be eligible. If your students are interested in applying for this position, please contact Linda Nelson-Bova or Linda Morgan at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com
I appreciate your time and consideration in reviewing this letter and hope to see many applications come in.

Whether you are conscious of it or not, when you walk into a room,
the way it looks, sounds, and the way you interact with it have a
major impact on your experience.
At EGI Electronics, our goal is to design systems that integrate
seamlessly into their environment. To design an AV system that
compliments the room takes a combination of experience, artistic
skill, and insight into the complex behavior of sound and light in
that room.
When we design systems for new construction, we work with the
architect and engineers throughout the design process to optimize
the space. We evaluate the acoustics, lighting, sightlines, angles
of view, ambient noise, electrical requirements, and even room
structure in order to make a better functioning room. Our designs
and suggestions are then incorporated into the basic room design
so the room and the AV systems within it work together as a
unified whole.
Our design objectives are:
to provide technically superior, yet user friendly systems.
to design systems according to the requirements unique to each
to give complete consideration to the clients requirements/
to pay utmost attention to detail
to design a solid foundation to facilitate easy upgrade to future
Our designs are driven by our experience. Our staff has years of
experience on the user end of these systems. Whether mixing or
rigging for major concert tours, performing as musicians, or
serving as a political figure, our staff continually uses the very
systems we design and install. We understand their unique
requirements of and devote ourselves to realizing quality. The
systems that we have installed over the years provide us with
additional experience and give us exposure to worldwide
At EGI Electronics, we use EASE computer modeling and analysis as
a powerful tool to aid us in our designs. EASE is the industry
standard acoustic analysis software package with a library of all
the major professional grade loudspeakers integrated into it.
First we create a computer model of the room. Then we place a
"virtual loudspeaker" in our "virtual room". The computer
simulates the way the sound will behave in the actual room.
The real benefit of this approach is that it allows us to
audition several speakers for a particular acoustic space and
choose the best one. We can also get an idea of what a particular
room will sound like before it is built and take measures to
alleviate potential problems.
We use our computer models to look into other things besides
sound. We can investigate projection screen angles of view, the
effects of lighting on the projection screen, see how a speaker
will look in a space before it is hung, and map microphone
coverage patterns on a boardroom conference table.
The experience among our engineers is the key to maximizing the
benefits of this tool for our clients. Because we know what to
look for, we can investigate potential problems and explore
possible solutions.

With sustainable building event Ecobuild over and done with for another year, construction industry professionals and observers have been looking back at the trade event and taking stock of the emerging trends, innovative products and evolving practices that the three-day event brought to light.
Ecobuild 2013 took place at London's ExCeL arena at the beginning of March and drew nearly 60,000 people from across the UK and Europe to see the offerings of more than 1,500 exhibitors and to hear some leading industry experts impart their wisdom and experience on a range of subjects.
The editor of the Builders Merchant's Journal, Fiona Russell-Horne, noted that there was a rather more subdued air to the 2013 event, however, notable from the areas of new building technology that sparked such buzz as little as two years ago but now seem to have reached a plateau. She wondered whether that might be the juddering economy's effect both on the spending power of the consumers and on the marketing budgets of the exhibitors.
"The solar PV and thermal companies which were everywhere two years ago had […] continued to drop off in terms of visibility at the show," she blogged. "Is this indicative of the times we find ourselves in – that there simply isn't the money in the industry to fund these huge, expensive marketing ventures? Or is it that all these things have an optimum size and that Ecobuild is now adjusting and finding its own level?"
The popular blog on the industry website, Building Design Expert (BDE), surmised that events like Ecobuild really do chiefly exist for sales purpose, and that the sharing and pooling of industry knowledge that takes place is a handy side effect.
The BDE Blog stated, "Construction trade shows are a tried and tested format of providing from tens to hundreds of shop windows for exhibitors to dress in the most imaginative way possible in their continued attempts to attract the attention of passing shoppers, and with a keen eye on their market share… If we are attracted to a building, a product, or an exhibition stand; there's a half reasonable chance that it will create a memorable moment in time."
The event did wow, however, as a major showcase for many building products and practices that are destined to form the future of the British building industry and that tradesmen and women would be wise to acquaint themselves with. From new heat pump ventilation technology to the latest in sustainable bricks, Ecobuild once again staked the brand's claim as a key date on the construction industry calendar.

Not sure how this was thought up, but Slacklining is an insane sport that looks to be a cross between trampolining, gymnastics and acrobatics. The premise of the sport is to do stunts that are judged on a thin piece of elastic that is spread between two points.
Wikipedia explanation:
Slacklining is a practice in balance that typically uses 1 inch nylon webbing tensioned between two anchor points. Slacklining is distinct from tightrope walking in that the line is not held rigidly taut (although it is still under some tension); it is instead dynamic, stretching and bouncing like a long and narrow trampoline. The line's tension can be adjusted to suit the user and different types of webbing can be used to achieve a variety of feats. The line itself is flat, due to the nature of webbing, thus keeping the slacker's footing from rolling as would be the case with an ordinary rope. The dynamic nature of the line allows for impressive tricks and stunts.
