Hemitriccus minimus
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Hemitriccus minimus (Zimmer, 1940)
Common Name(s):
Hemitriccus aenigma ssp. aenigma — Sibley and Monroe (1990, 1993)
Hemitriccus aenigma ssp. aenigma — Collar et al. (1994)
Idioptilon aenigma ssp. aenigma — Collar and Andrew (1988)
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|SACC. 2005 and updates. A classification of the bird species of South America. Available at: #http://www.museum.lsu.edu/~Remsen/SACCBaseline.htm#.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Least Concern ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|BirdLife International
|Butchart, S. & Symes, A.
|Ekstrom, J., Butchart, S., Harding, M.
Although this species may have a restricted range, it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the range size criterion (Extent of Occurrence <20,000 km2 combined with a declining or fluctuating range size, habitat extent/quality, or population size and a small number of locations or severe fragmentation). The population trend appears to be stable, and hence the species does not approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population trend criterion (>30% decline over ten years or three generations). The population size has not been quantified, but it is not believed to approach the thresholds for Vulnerable under the population size criterion (<10,000 mature individuals with a continuing decline estimated to be >10% in ten years or three generations, or with a specified population structure). For these reasons the species is evaluated as Least Concern.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|This species is uncommon with a very patchy distribution in the white-sand forests, terra firme and igapó of east Amazonian Brazil and north-east Bolivia up to 450 m (Ridgely and Tudor 1994, Stotz et al. 1996). Until recently, it was only known from eight specimens collected at four localities on the east bank of the rio Tapajós, west Pará, Brazil (Ridgely and Tudor 1994), but it has since been found at two localities in Brazil (near Alta Floresta, Mato Grosso and along the rio Negro, Amazonas), and in Bolivia, at Versalles, north Beni and three localities in Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, north-east Santa Cruz (Parker et al. 1991, D. Stotz in litt. 1991, Bates et al. 1992, J. Hornbuckle per R. Brace in litt. 1999, Killeen and Schulenberg 1998).

|The global population size has not been quantified, but this species is described as 'uncommon and patchily distributed' (Stotz et al. 1996).
Trend Justification: This population is suspected to be stable in the absence of evidence for any declines or substantial threats.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Major Threat(s):
|The species is sensitive to human disturbance and is suffering from widespread deforestation in Pará, Amazonas and particularly Mato Grosso, which has increased markedly since the 1960s due to road building, ranching, smallholder agriculture, mining and hydroelectric development (Cleary 1991, Stotz et al. 1996). The principal threat has been the expansion of the agricultural frontier as a direct result of highway construction (Cleary 1991). However, as road building patterns have changed in the 1990s, the rate of forest clearance has fallen in some parts of its range.

Description: 2000 foot Home in the Hualapai Mountains of North Western Arizona at 5990 foot elevation. Home has been remodeled and is located in the community of Pine Lake 10 miles from Kingman, Az. Pine Lake is Forested and known as the Island in the Sky and sought after for its beauty, Wildlife, Lodge and 4500 acre County Park. Mild climate with Summer Temps 15 to 20 deegrees cooler that the Valleys, higher rainfall and mild Winters. The Community is limited to about 100 homesand the most disirable are on the East Mountains where the home is located.The home is remodeled and has 3 bedrooms and 3 baths as well as two kitchens. Master Bedrooms are split with one on each end of this Ranch style home and each has a private bath.The larger 400 square foot bedroom has been used as a game room in the past. The home has new doors and closets through most of the home and an indoor utility with awasher and dryer.A huge double deck that is covered and lighted was constructed last year of clear Redwood and waterproof sealer has beeen applied twice. The Decks are 15 foot above the drive and gives outstanding views of the surrounding areas as well as Wildlife viewing and movement and private breakfast and dinners. The Home has two Master Bedrooms with Baths and a third bedroom with a bath in the hall area. The Home has been used bu us only for Holidays and short stays in the Summer and has had a complete makeover.
Heat is Propane and Electric by two high efficient heatpumps and two propane furnaces recently installed as well as two localized Rinnai Propane heaters giving the ultimate in heat and Air Conditioning performance and comfort. The electrical, Plumbing, Siding and most of the windows have been replaced with high quality energy efficent materals such as Aqua Pex, New Wiring, High Eff Windows and Radiant Barrier on the home sided with Hardi Board.
Most rooms in the home have new floors, Fans, Fixtures and doors.A rear porch was just added as well as two tankless water heaters, one each two service each end of the home. Water is supplied by the homes private well with a pumphouse with pressure pump, pressure tank and Sofenter just installed. Sewer is by septic.Elk, Deer, Fox and other game visit the property daily and is the reason that gates are installed at the entrances.There are numerous entrances to the home so when entertaining crowd control can be managed.
Our reason for wanting to trade or sell is that we seldom use the property since we are busy with our ag properties. Current values of like properties are 325 to 375K. The property would make an excellent retirement or fulltime home and most locals live in the area fulltime. The property is free and clear. This is one of the only properties in the area bordered on three sides by a road and an empty lot in the rear which is included with the sale and buildable. The home is on the East side of the mountain surrounded by trees and recieves winter sun on two of the most disireable lots in the community.
Laughlin and Lake Havasu are about an hour away for gaming and dining pleasure for a nice visit without the intense heat of living there. Las Vegas is about 13/4 hours drive and Grand Canyon West about an hour. California Beaches are about 5.5 hours and Southern Arizona and Mexico a few hours to the south.

American Family Insurance has named Todd Fancher as the company's first digital transformation officer.
Fancher, former president of American Family Life Insurance Company, will now lead the carrier's strategic investment in artificial intelligence, machine learning and advanced analytics in his new role. Rich Steffen will take over as Fancher's successor, vacating his current position as vice president of sales.
"Digital transformation is about unlocking growth by doing things differently, and using data to help us truly know what customers want so we can proactively deliver it to them," Fancher said, in a statement.
Fancher's appointment follows AmFam's purchases of Networked Insights, a marketing analytics company, and home inspection software vendor HomeGauge this month. The acquisitions, coupled with Fancher's promotion, are said to help AmFam more quickly build out digital capabilities and better serve customers, it says.

The insurer has already invested in AI and related technologies through its Data Science and Analytics Lab, Strategic Data Analytics Division, innovation team and collaborative data-science projects with the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Beautiful architecture to sample local architecture. Close to central places of interest and amazing views.
The only architectural element that survived the earthquake of 1693. It give a good idea of what the medieval town must have been.
The main element of the portal, the relief of St George and the dragon, is in very poor condition. However, the outermost band of the decorative orders above has charming reliefs of dragons and bent figures playing musical instruments Worth seeing for those alone
Passed this way as part of walking tour of Ragusa. Surviving gothic church portal with carving of St George still just visible.
Ragusa was almost completely rebuilt in the late Baroque style after the 1693 earthquake. This lovely portal to the old cathedral was saved. An interesting counterpart to the lovely 1100s architecture of Palermo and Monreale.
A total gem in the Ibla! The lovely, pink-limestone portal has a lunette depicting St. George slaying the dragon. This portal was part of the San Giorgio Church, built in 12th-13th century, and survived the devastating earthquake in 1693. Beautiful!!
One of the historic relics in Ragusa Ibla, a survivor of earthquakes, wars and the ravages of the passing years. Beautiful in its proportions.
This is a rare Sicilian medieval Norman church doorway that survived the major earthquake in 1693. It shows St George killing the dragon.
worth to walk all the way down the Ibla , history at his best , this site is over two thousand years old
Going up a narrow, meandering, twisting road, in places large enough for two people, yet the odd car would squeeze through honking its horn! I found it amazing that the Portale di San Giorgio and the cathedral was still standing. Doesn't subsidence exist here? It...More

The Heat Review: Could this Be the Next Buddy Cop Franchise?
The Heat stars Melissa McCarthy as Detective Shannon Mullins and Sandra Bullock as FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn. They become mismatched partners when Ashburn takes an assignment in Boston to work a drug case she needs to crack in order to qualify for a promotion.
Sandra Bullock as Ashburn is definitely the straight woman in this comedy. Most of her FBI colleagues don't like or respect her even though she's actually a pretty brilliant agent. She's also clumsy, awkward with people and so unloved in her life that she borrows the neighbors cat for affection. While not the most likeable character, the audience can definitely relate to her drive to be recognized as an effective agent. It's like watching a snarky Sherlock Holmes as she points out or discovers all the places the criminals are hiding drugs or weapons that the other officers, even the canine ones, missed. Her straight-laced way of doing things is in for a total upset when she meets Mullins.
Melissa McCarthy's Mullins is a foul-mouthed, street-smart Detective who takes the crime in her city personally. She's got her own way of doing things and even the captain of her precinct doesn't get in her way. This rude, unkempt and uncultured character is almost becoming a cliché for McCarthy to play. While she's definitely funny as hell at playing characters like these, her range is a lot broader and I'd like to see her take some roles that stretch her comedy chops a bit. But then, maybe she's tired of playing snarky but gentile characters like Molly from Mike & Molly. Either way, I always end up laughing.
The Heat is another example of the Odd Couple at work. Mullins is brash, unafraid to use threats or violence to get her way, and fearless in the face of criminals or superiors alike. Ashburn is by the book, yet just as driven to solve the drug case as Mullins. They both possess a keen mind for investigation, and that's why they work well together. There's a scene early on in the film where McCarthy is berating a suspect to make her talk. She mentions the cigarettes in the ashtray and Ashburn picks up on her hint and pulls the one butt not covered in lipstick, which turns out to be a lead.
The drug case is a little on the thin side, but it carries the story forward so that all the comedy bits have something to go in between them. There are plenty of really funny moments in the movie, though The Heat did pull that annoying thing where the trailer misrepresents some of the scenes and lines. Strangely, I think the movie's versions worked better for the most part.
No buddy cop movie is complete without a nemesis from the law side of things, and that's where Dan Bakkedahl comes in, as albino DEA agent Craig. Mullins is his real target, as she goes after him for being an albino and swears that he's somehow in league with the drug lords. I won't say if she's right or wrong, but it's funny stuff.
Mullins has a big family that consists of a lot of crazy characters, and The Heat has some fun at Boston's expense over the word 'Narc' or 'Nahk,' as Mullins' family says it. It's not new humor, but it works well. It also serves as a time where Ashburn and Mullins can be serious by letting other characters handle most of the comedy.
There's always one scene in a comedy like this that's as funny as all the other moments put together, and in The Heat, it's when Mullins and Ashburn go to a dive bar. If you doubted the chemistry of these two actresses together on the screen, then this scene will lay your doubts to rest.
I honestly hope The Heat turns into a franchise, because I could stand to watch more of these two characters on the screen.
Don't rush out of the theater once the movie's over. There's a funny scene that happens not too terribly far into the credits that you won't want to miss.
Review Overview
Review Score - 8
Summary : I honestly hope The Heat turns into a franchise, because I could stand to watch more of these two characters. The drug case story is on the thin side, but it carries the story forward so that all the comedy bits have something to go in between them.

This is one of my favorite shows of the year and it kicks off my busy Fall/Winter season.
The show runs from 11:00 - 7:00 m both Saturday and Sunday. I'll be at my usual location: Booth #181 on Lyndale Avenue, right by the information tent.
This has been such a wonderful summer for experimenting with felt. I have all sorts of new designs with hand-dyed silk and merino, cool new silks from the NYC garment district and my new addiction, vintage sari silk! The colors and patterns on these sari silks are just amazing and are so much fun to work with.
Thanks to my customers' requests, I also will have more wraps, shawls and capes. But don't worry, I'll also have my classic designs, along with the geode pincushion, bowls and felted flowers.
I may be jinxing myself, but it looks as though the sun may make an appearance this weekend! in case it doesn't, I'm offering a "Rainy Day" coupon: if it rains while you're at the show, take $5 off your purchase!

Challenger helps children become adults who are led by neither peer pressures nor common sentiment, but by the strength of their own thinking.
We begin by building a foundation:
Language Arts (reading, composition, and grammar), Math, and Logic are the three foundation disciplines. They are key to unlocking information in all subjects. The degree of mastery in these three disciplines determines a student's potential for learning in all higher disciplines.
As we strengthen the foundation, higher and weightier structures become possible.
We teach subject content to give students facts and concepts, but as we teach content, we teach method-logic and thinking skills. Students learn to evaluate, question, and search for connections. Finding and understanding the connections between concepts is what enables students to retain and then apply and extend their knowledge. They learn to find connections by doing things in logical sequence-that is how they learn to recognize logical progression.
Learning that progress is determined by effort, a student realizes that his success is in his control and is his responsibility. As he learns and applies this idea, he begins to understand and enjoy the strength of his own mind. As he learns to respect his own capacity and gains confidence, he also learns to appreciate and respect the same in others.
Challenger students learn about freedom, and that each person has fundamental rights.
They learn to respect the person and property of others.
Students learn how honesty, integrity, and independence relate, and that with these traits they earn personal dignity.
And they discover early that success is rewarding, and that achievement is fun. At Challenger they learn that both are within their reach. The enthusiasm you see in students at any Challenger School shows that our students understand that happiness does not come from superficial sources-it comes from honest, first-hand accomplishment.

If you want a plant that looks great in the garden, in a container or a basket, try a Gerber Daisy. Gerber Daisies or Gerbera jamesonii are native to South Africa. Their flowers come in pink, white, yellow, orange and red and are 2 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter on a stem that is about 12 to 18 inches. Gerber Daisies can grow to 12 to 18 inches wide and 6 to 18 inches tall. This plant can be propagated from seed. They need well drained loam or sandy soil and full sun. Gerbera prefer to have moist soil but if they receive to much water they can get crown rot and die. They grow in zones 9-10 and are treated as annuals in other zones. They are repeat bloomers and adding fertilizer during the growing season will keep the flowers coming on. They bloom from mid spring to fall and after the growing seasons ends in your zone they can be moved indoors. Indoors they prefer temperatures between 50 to 70 degrees when flowering. Place your plants in a brightly lit spot with some direct sun. Mist the plant daily, keeping the soil moist at all times.
Outdoor Decorating Tip: Add several different colored potted Gerber Daisies to a basket or deep blue ceramic pot for the center of your outdoor dining table where you can enjoy the flowers.
Happy Gardening!
The Creative Gardener

The fire caused minor damage, but prompted store management to close the store a half-hour early to check for possible electrical problems, police said. Investigators found the charred nest, which was believed to have been ignited by the sign, police said.

RIVERSIDE, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 28, 2014) - Well-respected homebuilder William Lyon Homes has announced plans for SkyRidge, a single-family detached neighborhood coming soon to the preferred Woodcrest area in Riverside. These brand new homes will offer spacious floorplans with up to six bedrooms, oversized homesites and access to a highly desirable school district. The sales gallery is anticipated to open late spring 2014, followed by the summer model grand opening event. Prospective buyers who want to receive the latest updates and take advantage of pre-sales opportunities are strongly encouraged to act now and register on the buyer interest list at www.LyonSkyRidge.com. Prices are anticipated to begin from the high $500,000s for those who take advantage of special pre-sale opportunities and SkyRidge homeowners will have the valuable financial benefit of a low tax base and low HOA fees.
"The neighborhood's contemporary new home designs, desirable location and access to highly rated public and private schools will appeal to Inland Empire homebuyers who are focused on family, education and a fulfilling life," said Lesley Pennington, Vice President of Sales for William Lyon Homes. "SkyRidge will present an attainable move-up opportunity and a beautiful foundation where young and growing families can enjoy their lives to the fullest. Homebuyers who appreciate a great location that connects families to each other and to their community will regard the neighborhood's Woodcrest setting as another important benefit."
SkyRidge will offer one single-level floorplan featuring an impressive family room and kitchen, along with a luxurious master suite away from the secondary bedrooms to afford optimal privacy. A "California Room" that beautifully infuses indoor/outdoor living and entertaining is at the heart of this 2,575 square-foot home. Residences Two and Three at Sky Ridge will debut two-story floorplans with distinctly different room arrangements and sense of livability. The 3,426 square-foot Residence Two will feature a large Great Room that flows into the modern kitchen -- informal dining space can accommodate eight or more, plus room for a generous kitchen island. The private master suite and bath is away from the "kids zone," an area that showcases comfortable secondary bedrooms and generous bonus room. The 3,803 square-foot Residence Three will present a formal dining room ideal for entertaining, plus the convenience of a first-level bedroom with in-suite bath and walk-in closet. On the second level, a formal master vestibule leads into a beautiful master suite impressively appointed with a sumptuous master bath and "his" and "her" walk-in closets. A bonus room that can be transformed as individual needs evolve is conveniently close to the secondary bedrooms and away from the master suite. Residences Two and Three will have optional rear yard "California Rooms" to afford homeowners the wonderful opportunity to enjoy Southern California's mild year-round climate. All three SkyRidge floorplans will include three-car garages.
Sprawling homesites will range from approximately 10,000 to 12,000 square feet, an idyllic setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and playing. The neighborhood's elevated location will afford select homes distant views of the valley below and the San Gabriel Mountains.
Homebuyers will have access to one of the area's top school districts and close proximity to excellent private schools, including Woodcrest Christian Middle and High schools and Riverside Christian Day School. Public school opportunities will include Frank Augustus Miller Middle School and Martin Luther King High School. Woodcrest Plaza Shopping Center, Galleria at Tyler and Mission Grove Plaza are conveniently located nearby, with Lake Mathews, Lake Perris and Orange Terrace Park easily accessible for leisurely weekend activity.

Sometimes it seems that as film critics we've entered that bolted world. The past year showed an alarming decline in the editorial space for film criticism in traditional media, whereas on the internet the speed of recycled opinions was approximating the grotesque. Critics were fired, others were syndicated, some were replaced by sports reporters (or threatened to be banned to the sports section for that matter) since some distant marketing exec had the idea that, oh!, that scary anonymous reader was no longer interested in expert journalism. Funny how you never hear this about the finance department, or foreign correspondents, but we'll leave that aside. Besides, you get the picture, as that's what you've been getting in most newspapers lately.
So, in our traditional English language special for the International Film Festival Rotterdam issue, de Filmkrant decided to take Vasalis' dream as an inspiration and put ourselves at some distance from current affairs. We love to swim against the tide, but this time we just held still and let ourselves drift slowly with the flow. We took some time to reflect on what was urgent, but perhaps not breaking news and therefore never made it to print. After dossiers on political cinema, the future of film festivals and the state of affairs in world cinema, we now focused on the un-written.
As film criticism is becoming a commodity and a marketing tool, — you name it, we've got it —, it's no longer the film critic who sets the agenda, it's the festival calendar, the release schedule, the availability of stars and 'talents', and the favours of publicists. And of course we're not supposed to talk about this, because it's not corruption, it's pragmatism. But what are the observations, the passions, the cries of the heart that never get published?
Instead of lamenting this so called crisis in film criticism, we choose to resist and create and consolidate our continuous counterbalance. The following pages are a refuge for wayward articles that too seldom find their way to print, because they are considered too philosophical, personal, political or poetic. The only guideline we gave the authors in our little query amongst friends and comrades, was that their words had to be burning. The world had to stop turning if they would not be published right here and right now. They had to be dragged from the gates of hell (and heaven alike). And they should revise our filmic eyes all over again.
And in some blissful serendipity with the IFFR some of the topics ('Benvenuti, Benvenuti, always Benvenuti!', 'the haunted houses of Europe') one way or another turned out to be parts and counterparts of this year's line up. Others ('Just in time for de Filmkrant I (re)discovered William Klein') perhaps will be at another occasion.
We dreamed. And we woke up in a world that dared to reflect.
To dream. Perchance to sleep. For 'ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come'?
Dana Linssen
Dana Linssen is the editor in chief of de Filmkrant.

At the start of Maple Route, a new made-in-Manitoba play by
Winnipeg writer Jeremy Scarth Bowkett, we see Master Corporal Cameron
Venninger (Karl Thordarson) huddled in a corner, shaking, so twisted
with grief and trauma that he barely looks human anymore. By the end of
Theatre Incarnate's production, the audience may feel ready to join him.
This is not a criticism. It is a testament to the effectiveness of this searing drama.
Over three acts and 150 minutes, Bowkett unfolds the story of Cameron's attempts to cope with his undiagnosed and untreated post-traumatic stress.
Maple Route plays at the Colin Jackson Theatre at PTE through Sept. 28.

Is it really summer? The weather has been crazy again. Last week very hot then Wednesday nothing but heavy rain. The sky sure did open up then the rest of the week and it was breezy and chilly. Someone said the leaves have started to change. Guess we are suppose to love the Adirondacks. Nothing boring with the weather change. Despite the weather many are enjoying the train ride.
It has been great that I have been able to take some of my grandchildren to their jobs through the summer.
Aaron Conlon went for his permit one day last week. Alonzo took him then to the dentist. Hard to believe that I have another grandchild on the road.
What a bad fire at The Glen on Thursday. A great loss to the rafting company. Ruth Allen heard the explosions and called 911. Everyone got out safe.
Kathy Allen had day surgery on Friday at Glens Falls Hospital.
Dave Fogarty and a group of young men and other helpers did a Wilderness Trip to the Simese Area which is a nice long hike. Such a huge success to the Bluegrass Festival in North Creek over the weekend despite the cold. Jay Witham was in Concert Sunday night at Lee Calls church in Warrensburg.
A great big thank you to all our family and friends, campers and entries that came to the Allen's Engine Show on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Could not have done it without you. It was fun but went way to fast. Dad was so pleased to see everyone.
Al Leombruno had a heart attack on Thursday and a triple bypass on Friday. He is doing okay but will be awhile before he will be back to building.

The 2009–2010 snow season will long be remembered as one with unusual patterns of snowfall and snow cover across the United States. February snows were several feet deep in the Mid-Atlantic states while, simultaneously, bare ground was exposed in the Champlain Valley of New York and Vermont. Heavy October snows fell from the Plains to the Northeast, while Fairbanks, Alaska, waited until October 26th to receive its first inch-plus snowfall. As reported in Weatherwise each year since 1955, here is a month-by-month summary of notable snow events, totals, and oddities from this topsy-turvy season.

Ivanhoe Chapter 22
The Jew, Sir Isaac, rests in a much worse cell than the two Saxons. But in many ways he is so used to abuse, that his hearty soul can withstand the horrible conditions. Front-de-Boeuf, scarred and strong, enters the cell with several black slaves. Isaac is terrified by these guests, and cannot move. Front-de-Boeuf demands of the Jew a thousand silver pounds, or gold. Isaac insists that neither he nor his kinsmen have that kind of money to offer. Front-de-Boeuf does not believe Isaac's claims of poverty, and tells his slaves to prepare the torture--stretching over a hot fire. Front-de-Boeuf tells him how little he cares for the sorrows of a Jew, how he has seen Christians suffer and done less. At the final threat of torture, Isaac gives in. He begs Front-de-Boeuf to let the Saxons go, but the villain refuses. Isaac then begs for his daughter Rebecca, but Front-de-Boeuf has already given her to Bois-Guilbert, thinking she was Isaac's lover. Isaac yells and begs for her, insisting that no woman is safe with a Templar. Front-de-Boeuf yells at this blasphemy of a sacred order, cursing the Jew. Just when the Jew is about to be stretched over the fires, three blows of a horn interrupt them, and Front-de-Boeuf is called away. Isaac is left to ponder his luck, and his likely fate.

By Rudy Coggins
Published in Sports on December 20, 2004 1:55 PM
BUNN -- Tyler Daniels' first-period pin sealed the deal as Rosewood battled from behind to beat Southern Nash 48-36 in the title match of the Wildcat Christmas Clash contested Saturday.
The Eagles defeated Wilson Fike (60-24) and Bunn (60-22) in pool play and advanced to the gold-medal round against Northern Nash and Southern Nash.
Rosewood easily defeated Northern Nash 60-23 as the Firebirds waited in the wings. Southern held what appeared to be an insurmountable 36-18 advantage with just five individual bouts remaining.
Jim Bish, competing at 103 pounds, tied the match at 36-36 with a second-period pin. Teammate Ramsey Brown received a forfeit at 112 when the Firebirds bumped their wrestler to 119 for the decisive match against Daniels.
Daniels seized his fourth victory without a loss. Bish, Brown and Jeremiah Goodson each concluded the day 4-0. Head coach Bill Edmundson said the Eagles also received key wins from Antar Shafer, Clayton Taylor and heavyweight Michael Sander.
Rosewood (5-0) returns to action Tuesday with a five-team dual match at home. The Eagles will wrestle against county rival Eastern Wayne (5-1), Tarboro, North Johnston and Havelock.
The match begins at 5 p.m.

RALEIGH -- Charles B. Aycock's Turner Wood claimed third and John Robertson turned in a fourth-place effort at 171 pounds in the WRAL Invitational contested Friday and Saturday at Athens Drive High School.
Wood, at 189 pounds, scored a 17-1 technical fall against West Carteret's Patrick O'Reilly and claimed the bronze medal. It was a rematch of last Monday's meeting which Wood won 14-11 after breaking an 11-11 tie in the final 30 seconds.
Robertson fell to New Bern's Derek Garris 8-2 in their third-place battle.
The Golden Falcons amassed 82 points and finished tied for 12th with Pasquotank. Summerville (S.C.) emerged the team champion with 204 points, followed by Catawba Bandys (194.5), Northwest Cabarrus (156.5), Durham Riverside (156) and West Carteret (125).
C.B. Aycock returns to action Wednesday in the two-day Cary News Invitational.

I feel sorry for the people who live to work. As in, they spend their entire lives working a job that pays well, only to go to sleep, wake up and repeat the same thing. Maybe sleep in on a saturday, but sunday is all about thinking of monday.
I'm absolutely dirt poor. Couldn't buy a cup of coffee right now if I wanted to. I have loads of coffee beans if the instant runs out, ha. And a cheap turkish grinder I purchased years ago, which makes the perfect cup of mud.
But I don't really miss having money. I never had a lot, always had just enough to cover my vices and get petrol - petrol which I used to drive to and from work, and all the places in between For work. I never used my car just for me.
I almost had a life once. Damn it was hard work being 'something' that was supposed to fit in. For a pay packet and the joy of having no expectations of anything apart from more work.
I could live in a shanty hut by the beach, and make use of the things I've acquired over the years in preparation of any day it becomes an inevitability. But so far health and circumstances keep me tied to this place.
And the fact that the government simply criminalises anyone not paying taxes or being a drone worker, which sickens me, leaves me no choice but to participate to some extent in this criminally insane world.
And then I read about people going off the grid, and they show pictures of their underground cave-house, or the shipping containers they've converted into a plush roomy two story home.. and I think, how many years of work did they have to suffer through to get to that stage.
Reminds me of that old adage, which I can't remember properly but goes along the lines of a white man speaking to an Indian and telling him he needs to work. The Indian says "Why?" and the white man says "So you can buy a boat to fish." and the Indian says "and?" and the white man says "Then you can buy a house and live in it." and the Indian says "and?" and the white man says "And then when you're old you can retire." and the Indian says "and?" and the white man says "Then you can enjoy life." and the Indian says "But we have all the fish we need and we have a hut to live in and we already enjoy life, right now."
Having said all that if I won the lotto tomorrow, I'd not complain.
They say that money doesn't buy happiness.... but as Alan from Two and a half men says "Well I wouldn't know, as I don't have either." lol

2. Working from home was never your dream. Don't give me that. Working from home became an ideal option for you once your laziness took over your work ethic.
3. I'm probably just as poor as you, but I'm still able to enjoy life and take personal time to treat myself and my family by working hard. "Die broke" is something I believe in, but only after you've covered all the bills and loved one's needs. Sometimes that means working more hours or 2 jobs, or looking for a better paying job. It's the game we all have to play. Sitting on your butt and rationalizing it by saying that was your dream all along shows me exactly how you talked yourself out of everything you had. Lazy.

Where are we now?
In order to understand why the matric tariffs agreed to in Collective Agreement 1 of 2011 have not been implemented it is necessary to understand the history of what has happened.
Fact: During 2010 parties in the ELRC (Employer, SADTU and the CTU-ATU) negotiated a new set of tariffs for matric markers. These tariffs represented a 100% increase on the previous or "old" tariffs.
Fact: The Minister of Basic Education issued Government Gazette 34079, which was signed on 15 February 2012 and issued on 7 March 2011. The tariffs in this Gazette were the "old" tariffs and not the negotiated tariffs
Fact: The Director General (DG) of the DBE signed Collective Agreement (CA) 1 of 2011 on 7 April 2011
Questions: Why did the minister issue a Gazette with out-dated tariff? Why did the Employer's reps in the ELRC not inform the DG and the Minister that new tariffs had been negotiated?
Fact: The DG called union principals to an urgent meeting in November 2011 and stated that the CA was incorrect and that the DBE could not afford these tariffs.
Questions: Did the employer reps negotiate without a mandate? Why did the DG sign the CA if he did not have a mandate? Did the Employer reps negotiate in bad faith? Is this "confusion" as a result of poor communication and incompetence on the part of senior DBE officials? There are many more questions that may be asked.
Fact: In an attempt not to delay the payment of markers an addendum to CA 1 of 2011 was signed in Dec 2011 which stated that the 2010 tariffs, as outlined in GG of April 2011, plus an "increase of 6.8% would be used. The addendum also stated that the CA would be subjected to the interpretation procedures of the ELRC.
Comment: The 6.8% which was added to the tariff was in fact not an increase, but simply an adjustment of the tariffs to bring them in line with the cost of living adjustment granted to educators in 2011. The tariffs are supposed to be adjusted annually.
Fact: Early in 2012 parties obtained legal opinion on the status of the CA. There were attempts to resolve the matter, with the Employer offering an additional increase of approximately 10%, which the teacher unions rejected.
Fact: In May 2012 the Employer declared a dispute, however, there was no conciliation and the matter was set down for arbitration. The Employer again offered an increase of 10%, which was rejected.
Fact: At the end of November the arbitration commenced. The Employer argued that the ELRC did not have jurisdiction to hear the matter. In December the arbitrator ruled that the ELRC did have jurisdiction and that the arbitration could proceed.
Fact: In another attempt to avoid disrupting the matric marking the unions signed a second addendum to the CA (dated 28 November 2012), where markers were offered the 2010 tariffs with an increase of 6.8% adjustment (for 2011) and a 7% adjustment (for 2012)
Comment: These adjustments were not increases - see above
Fact: On 12 February 2012 the Employer withdrew the dispute and in a further notice also issued on 12 February, but only sent to NAPTOSA a few days later, the Minister, in terms of section 23 (4) of the Labour Relations Act, terminated the agreement, on the grounds that the DBE could not afford the tariffs as stated in Collective Agreement 1 of 2011.
The most recent decision of the DBE to withdraw from Collective Agreement 1 of 2011 (matric tariffs) is shameful and potentially explosive and will require the collective wisdom of experienced leaders to find a way out of the impasse caused by the Employer.
The discontent around the failure to implement the collective agreement which determines the matric marking tariffs has its roots in the negotiation process in 2010. During that year, teacher unions in the ELRC negotiated a 100% increase in the tariffs for matric markers and other examination related work.
NAPTOSA and the other unions engaged in the process in good faith. In April of 2011 the agreement was signed by the Director General, Mr Bobby Soobrayan. However, in November 2011, the department's disregard for collective bargaining became apparent when it announced that the collective agreement was said to be incorrect, invalid not mandated and could not be funded. Subsequently parties obtained legal opinion and in May 2012 the DBE declared a dispute in the ELRC, only to withdraw the dispute in February 2013, followed by the most recent decision to terminate the Collective Agreement in terms of provisions provided for in the Labour Relations Act.
For more than two years the DBE has failed to resolve a problem which is of their making. NAPTOSA and other unions downplayed the fiasco in Dec 2011 and again in Dec 2012 when educators were engaged in marking as the unions did not want the marking process to be disrupted.
As far as NAPTOSA is concerned, the issue confronting teacher unions and the Department of Basic Education is not just about marking tariffs, which is important, but rather the undermining of collective bargaining, by the Employer.
Very serious concerns have been raised about the lack of communication within the DBE as well as the competence of senior officials. It is unheard of that an Employer can negotiate, sign an agreement and then claim that is not a mandated position.
NAPTOSA and all the other unions in the ELRC have requested the General Secretary to issue the Department of Education a compliance order to implement the collective agreement. It is hoped that a mutually acceptable and amicable solution can be found.

Posted June 07, 2013
COLLEGE STATION, TX - With the recent appointment of Dr. Glen
Laine as Interim Vice President for Research, Dr. John N. Stallone has accepted the
role and was officially confirmed as Acting Department Head of Veterinary Physiology and
Pharmacology (VTPP) in the Texas A&M College of Veterinary
Medicine & Biomedical Sciences (CVM), effective May 1.
Stallone, who earned his Ph.D. in Physiology from the University
of Arizona, has been a faculty member at the CVM since 1998. During
that time, he has served multiple terms on the Faculty Senate, the
Senate Executive Committee, and most recently as Speaker of the
Faculty Senate. He has been a member of the Texas A&M
Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee since 1999-during most
of which time he was vice-chair-and has served as its chair for the
past two years. He has also been the vice-chair of the Graduate
Instruction Committee at the CVM and served for many years as a
Faculty Interviewer on the CVM Admissions Committee.
"As Dr. Laine steps into his new role in support of the
university's research enterprise, we are pleased that Dr. Stallone
has agreed to assume the department head's role for Veterinary
Physiology and Pharmacology," said Dr. Eleanor Green, Carl B. King
Dean of Veterinary Medicine. "Dr. Stallone has distinguished
himself as a full professor of Veterinary Physiology and
Pharmacology and his knowledge of his department, our college and
the university, in particular his service on the Faculty Senate,
will make him a valuable addition to the administrative team."
Stallone's research focuses on the differences in cardiovascular
function between men and women-both in health and in the
development of various diseases, including hypertension and
coronary artery disease-and how sex hormones play a role in these
differences. Specifically, Stallone has looked at the so-called
"estrogen paradox": why there is a protective effect of this female
sex hormone in younger women (and female animals) but deleterious
effects in older females. In more recent studies, Stallone
has focused on the interactions between aging and estrogen in
cerebral circulation, specifically the development of and recovery
from stroke.
In his off time, Stallone is an avid horseman. He and his wife,
Janet, are members of the East Texas Mounted Search and Rescue, and
they also breed and show miniature Mediterranean donkeys.

Who's Your Doctor: Lee Jong Suk, Joo Won, or Song Seung Hoon?
Picture this; you're super sick (not like seriously, but enough for this scenario) and you go to the hospital and working that day are three extremely hot doctors to choose from: Doctor Lee Jong Suk, Doctor Joo Won, and Doctor Song Seung Hun.
I know they're not really doctors they only played doctors, but with a distorted reality such as my own, playing a doctor and being a real doctor is technically, not really, but completely the same. Well, since I've been watching Doctor Stranger starring now, Doctor Lee Jong Suk, the question of who's the doctor I'd want to take care of me popped into my head.
All three characters: Dr. Park Hoon, Dr. Park Si On, and Dr. Jin are all above average and gifted in the medical field and they're all extremely good looking as well. So what if you were faced with having to choose only one of them to take care of you? Who would you pick? Who would you want seeing you in that ugly hospital gown, looking your worst, and checking your vital stats?
Below I've helped you out with this serious decision by providing totally legit medical profiles to help you choose.
Lee Jong Suk as Dr. Park Hoon in currently airing, Doctor Stranger
Age: 24
Body Style: Modelicious sexy with a thin build and long legs that currently look amazing in those ripped skinny jeans he's running around the hospital in!
Medical Skills: Park Hoon was trained as a heart surgeon under strict North Korean control. Basically if he messed up an operation, dude was gonna get shot! He can also diagnose a patient by touch and can mentally visualize what's happening inside the human body. He makes clean bloodless incisions, works fast, and can stitch a heart like no other. But you would also know this if you watched the drama. #JudgingThoseNotWatching
Joo Won as Dr. Park Si On in Good Doctor
Age: 26
Body Style: Tall and slim with a great backside and thighs proven to be true by those white pants he wore in Bridal Mask!
Medical Skills: Park Si On is a pediatric doctor with gifts stemming from his autism. He pretty much has memorized every medical term under the sun, and like Dr. Park Hoon he can simply touch a patient and diagnose them. However! He can easily guide any doctor through a surgery and can perform surgeries on his own but that could be a hit or miss.
Song Seung Hun as Dr. Jin Hyuk in Time Slip Dr. Jin
Age: 37
Body Style: Chocolate abs for days. He could have been in Magic Mike!
Medical Skills: Dr. Jin is a neurosurgeon who had the privilege of discovering a random brain baby who to this day is a mystical and infamous K-Drama character. All three doctors use their skills in other areas of medicine, but it's Dr. Jin who's like the medical Macgyver. Dr. Jin can take a leaf and turn it into Aleve…the gel formula! Seriously, Dr. Jin brought modern medical techniques to Joseon!
Now don't you choose your doctor based purely on looks! Personally I'm going with Lee Jong Suk because I'm currently all about Doctor Stranger and let's be honest, Lee Jong Suk can not only save my life but he's so hot he can own it. #TakeMySoulJongSuk
Happy choosing!

Akitas and Children
When discussing if Akitas are good with children, one of the most important elements to note is that this breed is a guard dog.
He is a wonderful family companion, but above all else, generations of strong instinct is there that make him a protector.
Anything or anyone seen as a possible threat will invoke a reaction, this can vary from growling to biting.
Now, with this said, Akitas and children
have a truly wonderful bond. This will depend on several factors:
• How he is raised
• At what age introduction is done
• The behavior and actions of the kids
• The individual temperament of the Akita
In the Same House
This breed can and often does very well with children who live in the same household. He makes a clear distinction between those he considers to be part of the family and those he does not. Therefore, it is not fair to the breed when someone makes a generalizing comment that harmony cannot exist. It is dependent on the situation.
A New Baby
It is a very common question to wonder if an Akita will accept an infant into the home and how the dog will react. So much depends on what was established beforehand. If the dog was allowed to run the household and is spoiled, he can become jealous with rivalry appearing quickly. If he was socialized and not spoiled, he can welcome the new addition and become a great protector.
One of the worst mistakes that owners can do is to isolate the baby and the Akita. The dog wants to check out new guests (as instinct tells him to do) and if stopped from doing so, may feel threatened or insecure with the "possible threat" which can result in
An owner can begin to prepare their Akita before the baby even comes home. Since one cannot control every moment of a growing child's behavior, it is important that you control the dog. Now more than ever, the dog must learn his place within the pack and respect you as the leader. If there is any doubt about rank, it should be resolved before an infant is brought home.
He can be taught to sleep in a new area in advance….And be desensitized to the new noises of crying, in particular, by playing a recording of a baby's cries and noises. A family member can take the receiving blanket home from the hospital and allow the dog to become accustomed to the new scent. These little elements can make a huge difference in an Akita's reaction.
The Family Pet
This breed can be an exceptional playmate for your children, a friend by your side and a helper around the house, all rolled into one.
When puppies are raised with children, this works best as opposed to an older dog that is suddenly expected to tolerate the actions, noise and level of enthusiasm that youngsters have.
They do not like to be teased and often have little tolerance for this. Children should be taught to handle puppies nicely and to never pull on tails or do any other action that would bother the pup. As general rule, the Akita or any other large dog, should not be left alone with those who are under the age of 12 years old.
The most misunderstood element of this whole topic is the dog's behavior is generalized to all kids. However, tolerance is only a problem with those who are outside of the family…youngsters who are unknown and the Akita do not mix well. An owner must keep their dog on leash at all times if an encounter is a possibility. Reaction can vary from a barely audible growl (most common) to a serious lunge in attempt to bite.
And it should not be overlooked that every Akita is an individual….some will barely show that they care that a child is around….Others will let you know immediately that they are not happy. Most fall in the middle ground….with a noticeable agitation that can be calmed down with introductions and supervised socialization.
If your child is playing with another, you can have your Akita nearby while you stand or sit with him. Do ask the children to play quietly, you can let them know that your dog just needs to get used to things. Then, overtime, at least with many dogs, he will become more comfortable in the company of youngsters. After that, play can become more active. The key to this is to allow the Akita to learn how to control himself…And that is done in a slow yet steady way of socialization and desensitization to what would otherwise be seen as an irritant.
Some owners believe that if their dog is great with their own children, he or she will be just fine around others, but this is often not true. The Akita sees his family very differently than he sees outsiders. He entire demeanor can change in an instant. This breed can be very tolerant of his "brothers and sisters", but an unknown toddler who is heedlessly bopping the dog on the head with a toy will most likely not be tolerated for a second. Again, any issues can be avoided with close, acute supervision and warning for youngsters to treat the dog well. Keep your Akita on leash and remove yourself from the area if the children are being boisterous or too rowdy.

Sharing Content: When, Where & Who With?
As highlighted in our previous blog entry, content is king when it comes to SEO, creating exceptional and unique content that others are more likely to engage with and share is an effective strategy. But to really maximise this opportunity, identifying when, where and who to communicate this great content to is equally important to focus on.
When to post
According to social sharing service Addthis, people are most likely to share something at 9.30 am, and if you really want to make it specific, Wednesdays are the peak days for sharing.
With posting to social networking sites such as Facebook, it is important to optimise post times to ensure your content is not lost in the continuous stream of retro filtered cat photos.
Just recently URL shortening tool Bitly gave us a unique insight into how the main social networks can differ. For both Facebook and Twitter, posting in the afternoon earlier in the week is your best chance at achieving a high click count and the most sharing opportunities. Where as if using Tumblr, you should wait until at least 4pm to post.
To work towards publishing your content at exactly the right time for it to reach the maximum number of people, you should also utilise various monitoring tools such as Facebook Insights.
Where to post
The first place you should look to share through after creating that mouth watering content would be your already established social networks. Firstly these are free to use and are designed to encourage sharing of such content. Start with the most prominent and established networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google +. If you like to produce visual content, ensure this is branded with company logos and jump on board the Pinterest and Instagram bandwagon as well.
Infographics are a great type of content which generate high levels of engagement and sharing opportunities, take advantage of sharing these through the Visual.ly network, the largest data visualisation showcase in the world.
If you have an established email newsletter database, include an enticing tease of the content and links back to they can find it. According to a study by AOL and Neilson, 66% percent of people still use email as their primary method for sharing content.
Who to communicate with
In an effort to increase the amount of links back to your site and overall site traffic, you need to communicate your content out to as much people as possible.
Be careful not to spam your audience however if your content is not relevant or doesn't add value as this could ultimately damage your brands perception in the market. Social networks such as Google+ will even let you group certain audiences who you want to communicate with, to make sure you target the right people with the right content.
Try reach out to influential voices within your industry, these people are the gatekeepers to typically large audiences and a share from them may spread your content like wildfire.
Also don't just concentrate on your online connections, make a conscientious note to promote and share your content when interacting with clients in meetings or over the phone, provide them with a URL or instructions on how to find the content that you think they will find interesting.
