Likelihood of the next U.S. Congress making a mad dash to renegotiate the farm bill passed last summer is remote, but that doesn't mean agricultural interests can afford to let their guard down says Representative Mike Conaway, R-Texas.
Conaway, speaking at the annual Texas Commodity Symposium recently in Amarillo, said renegotiating the farm bill "ought to be way down the list. But there might be opportunities to fine tune. We don't expect the Obama administration to make a big deal of agriculture for the next two or three years."
Conaway said during the 2008 presidential campaign, "we did not hear much about ag policy."
He does foresee some changes in trade policy. "I expect relations with Cuba to be relaxed," he said. "But I don't expect NAFTA to be renegotiated."
Former Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee Larry Combest said environmental issues may bear watching with Democrats in charge of the Senate, the House and the White House. He said a "pent-up demand from the more radical environmental groups may result in a harder push. That's one of the biggest potential threats we see to current clean air and water regulations."
He said the "hard left element of the environmental movement sees an opportunity to move America more left on environmental issues. But the debates have ignored the cost impact on American families and businesses. A transition period away from crude oil, for instance, comes with a cost. No conversation in the last two years has taken that into account."
Combest said agriculture includes "the best stewards in the world. They take care of land, water and air and do what they can afford to do to protect those resources."
Conaway said China and India coal use will "dwarf anything the United States does to reduce coal use."
He said the Renewable fuel Standards should "be relaxed and delayed. But I don't expect relaxed standards would make it through Congress."
Conaway said he had been impressed with some of President-elect Barack Obama's early suggestions. He said his job in the opposition party is to "work with him to make policies as good as we can. I'll be the loyal opposition and not just say no but offer better ideas.
"Neither Obama nor congress has any magic arrows in the quiver," to get the country out of the recession, Conaway said. "But I have great confidence that we can do it. And we will be better for having gone through this. We will be leaner. But I don't have a great deal of confidence in the federal government to lead. So far, they have offered no federal hiring freeze and no significant congressional budget cuts."
He said no one has had "the backbone to either raise taxes or cut spending. We did this to ourselves and there is plenty of blame for Republicans and Democrats."
He said renegotiating the Social Security program will be necessary. "The sooner it's done, the less draconian solution will be necessary. But someone will get less."
He said a Chapter 11 option would be better than a bailout for the auto industry."They will emerge much stronger."
Conaway said Texas has avoided most of the worst of the recession. "We've been protected somewhat by the oil business, but with oil under $50 a barrel, down dramatically from the third quarter, the industry will begin to see a slowdown and lost jobs. It's good for users with gas and diesel prices down."
Conaway said the country has "no easy, painless solutions. We are in hard times and face more on the horizon."

Your alt will need to run past 85-86 level mobs to get started farming. I'm not sure if you can summon a lower level toon to Pandaria, but Farmer Yoon's quests to start up your farm are level 85 and above, so your toon will need to be at least 85.
First, your alt will have to get to Pandaria through your faction's quest. You'll need to complete the vehicle quest, whether that's shooting Alliance troops from a turret or shooting Horde troops from a helicopter. Then, you should be able to drop to the ground via a rope and continue the rest of the way to Halfhill on mounted foot.

Week 18: Historical Books: This week we're going to shine the spotlight on other historical books that benefit the genealogy field. Do you have a favorite book that falls into this category? What makes this book special to you? How can other genealogists benefit from its content?
One of my favorite historical books is the Mercer County, Ohio History 1978, edited by Joyce Alig. Joyce was the Directory of the Mercer County Historical Museum and currently writes a history column called Our Old Bookcase for the local newspapers there. The book is close to 1000 pages long and contains histories of the county, details on each township and many biographies and pictures. There are quite a few mentions of my ancestors and I refer to it whenever I'm looking into a new name or subject. I always seem to discover something new.
The book is available in several Ohio libraries and sometimes comes up for sale on eBay or Amazon. Abebooks and other used book stores would also be a good place to check. The earlier Mercer County histories for 1882 and 1907 are available online through Heritage Pursuit. This is a subscription site, but is available for free to members of the Ohio Genealogy Society.

There is a HUGE back story. I am a single parent to three children 2,12 & 15. The older two have ASD's. 12yo autism/learning disability, 15yo Aspergers.
Both boys were accepted onto the disability team in 2011. My eldest accepted because he was the sibling of a child who met their criteria.
In 2013 I took my complaint against the disability team to the highest level without going through the complaints procedure. My family have been punished ever since in the form of greatly reduced services. To give context; both boys were allocated 26 nights overnight respite. Plus additional support in the holidays and term time on a Saturday. (Overnight was revoked in 2014 because I could not fund £2000 per year in taxi fares) a carers assessment was also requested. Never ever happened!
Both boys have complex needs. My eldest has missed out on 4 years of schooling. His last specialist placement was in 2014. He attempted to hang himself there. He was supposed to be 2 to 1 care. He was left unsupervised. I withdrew him from this school. He has a long history of low mood, self-harm and suicidal ideation. He also has serve behavioural issues.
My 12yo over the years has mimicked many of his older brothers behaviours including violence against myself.
My 15yo was discharged from the disability team months after my daughter was born. At that time he had no proper education and a long history of problematic behaviours. He had no MH involvement. (He was discharged from CAMHS 3 weeks after his suicide attempt at school) the reason given was that he didn't meet the criteria of the disability team in 2015. Later that year he posted on FB that he was intending to end his life. Section 47 looked at only him.
I started the complaints procedure. In the latter part of 2016. My complaint was blocked. Reason given a section 47 was in progress. My complaint was in relation to what had happened prior to this. I took on a solicitor who said he could help with my complaint. Most of the complaint was about SEND. I later found out my solicitor is not qualified in SEND law and should of stated this from the onset. Most of my legal aid has been used on this.
In the latter part of 2016 the behaviours of both boys had increased greatly. All three children were placed on a CPP. However, the level of respite that only one child was receiving never changed. We stood no chance. The condition of my home was focused on. Which didn't happen overnight. It was the culmination of years worth of reduced services. A intensive support worker was allocated then the worker left leaving a month long void with no service. Another worker was allocated at a greatly reduced level. She did none of the work she was supposed to do. The senior social worker left in May. His replacement officially started on the 29th for one day then went on annual leave for 2 weeks.
Fast forward to the 18th of June - my 12yo exploded into a violent rage which culminated in myself and eldest son receiving significant injuries in the form of nasty bites.
I knew if my 12yo exploded again someone would be seriously injured. I took him to the police station. Police took him into protective custody. Children's services claimed they had section 20 consent. They didn't. When the 72 hours were up I refused to sign the consent. I needed to know my son would receive the correct assessments and be kept safe. I was advised to not sign by my solicitor.
An interim court order was made. Children's services attained this by submitting a very shortened chronology. You could actually see where bits have been removed and retyped in a different font. Reports have been condensed to me misleading.
Now my 12yo is being pacified with a brand new mobile phone, endless unsupervised data and sky TV. He has his PSvita with him continuously at school.
Children's services are now blaming me for his past behaviours.
My solicitor has not used hardly any of the evidence I've given him.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Witch hunt!

Dispute Over Redskins Name Flares Up in Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A long-running dispute over the name of the Washington NFL franchise is flaring up in Minnesota.
American Indian groups and supporters say the construction of a new Minnesota Vikings stadium offers a chance to put new pressure on the NFL over the Washington Redskins name and logo.
They're asking the agency building Minnesota's new stadium to ban the word Redskins on publicly owned signs or address systems there, as well as the existing Metrodome when the Vikings host Washington Nov 7.
Stadium authority spokeswoman Jenn Hathaway says the board may have a formal response next week.
Opponents of the Redskins name say they'll protest at the Metrodome before the game.
President Barack Obama told The Associated Press last week the team should consider changing the name.

Google didn't wait for spring this year to do its spring clean up, recently taking away more than 2 billion views from Universal Music Group, Sony/BMG, and RCA Records. The slashing of views is likely related to shadowy dealings in the realm of Youtube views, as the companies are thought to employ an army of Youtube view manipulators.
Universal's channel dropped a billion views, Sony/BMG dropped 850 million views, and RCA dropped 159 million views, stripping the labels of much sought after traffic. However, Google did not only aim at music corporations. YouTubers everywhere complained recently that their videos were mysteriously taken down, and even thought it may have been a mistake. Google proceeded to inform everyone with a video down that they had violated the terms of service by using automated methods of increasing views.
In an online thread, one 16-year-old individual was even specified as being a prominent seller of YouTube views, and claimed to have made $60,000 already using the scheme.

By Jonathan Allen
NEW YORK (Reuters) - One of seven men arrested in a sting operation for allegedly selling drugs to people they believed were Taliban militants pleaded guilty on Thursday to conspiring to smuggle cocaine into the United States.
Francis Sourou Ahissou, a 48-year-old citizen of Togo in West Africa, entered a guilty plea in Manhattan federal court as part of a plea deal with the government.
He admitted he agreed to sell cocaine to people he thought were Taliban militants that could then be resold for a profit, and that some of the cocaine would be smuggled into the United States, during meetings in Benin and Ghana in 2010 with undercover informants working with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
The Taliban ruled Afghanistan until the U.S. invasion of 2001 and is deemed a terrorist organization by the United States.
Ahissou and four other men arrested in the sting had been charged with one count of conspiracy to engage in narco-terrorism and one count of conspiracy to distribute more than 5 kg (11 lb) of cocaine knowing it would be imported into the United States.
Under the deal with prosecutors, Ahissou agreed to plead guilty to only the second charge in exchange for a recommendation from the government that he be sentenced to 14 to 17 and a half years in prison.
The maximum penalty is life in prison and a fine of $10 million.
Speaking in French through an interpreter, Ahissou told the court he had a degree in accounting and confirmed he understood his rights and the charges against him.
Before being led away in handcuffs, Ahissou nodded at the judge and the prosecutor, thanking each in turn.
He is due to be sentenced on August 7.
Ahissou and four other men charged in the sting were arrested in Monrovia, Liberia, with the help of Liberian authorities in February 2011. He has been in custody since then.
Other men arrested in the sting were also charged with agreeing to sell surface-to-air missiles to people they thought were Taliban militants for use in Afghanistan.

There's a chance Nigel Dawes will return to the Calgary Flames lineup tonight against the Detroit Red Wings, which leads some to wonder, "Where the heck has he been?"
Since suffering an injury prior to the NHL's Olympic break, and adding in a little healthy time in the press box, Dawes has played just once in the last 17 games for Calgary. A good portion of those games were because of injury, but he has not seen game action since the team has returned from their two-week sabbatical. So just where, or what, is his role going to be? And what should it be?
I wrote a piece on "Where Does Backlund Fit" a couple days ago. I guess this could be another in a line of "Where Does ______ Fit?" Depending on where Dawes slots in, I wonder what the pulse is from the FN faithful on a guy like Dawes. Numbers wise, Dawes has been streaky. He has 10 goals and 26 points in 52 games for the Flames. But lately, he's had trouble finding the net, without a goal in the last 18 games he's been a part of.
I think Dawes still adds some value. If he ends up taking the place of Chris Higgins in this game, that's just fine. He does have the ability to add offence (albeit, just like the rest of this team, not consistently). Higgins is a game-time decision with a reported lower body injury, and Dawes had chemistry earlier this season with the center of that line, Daymond Langkow. If instead they shuffle up the fourth line and put Dawes in somewhere there, I think that's just fine. His production is pretty good for a fourth line, and he can play physical when he wants to. Or if the Flames decided to take out Kotalik and put Dawes in, I think most would be fine with that, especially after a rather invisible performance from Kotalik Sunday in Vancouver.
Dawes should be hungry to get back in and prove that he belongs as an everyday player. When his motor is running, I think he's a very effective player on this team. However, that motor needs to be running on a regular basis. Maybe some extended time out of the lineup will help that come true.

Arthur A. Morrow Justice Award to be presented to Ipu Lefiti
The American Samoa Bar Association is honored to announce that it will be presenting the first ever Arthur A. Morrow Justice Award to Ipu Lefiti during the 40th Anniversary Law Conference at the American Samoa Community College Lecture Hall on April 28, 2012.
Ms Lefiti has shown true commitment to providing justice to the people of American Samoa. For years, she has been a stalwart advocate to victims of domestic and sexual violence by breaking the barriers of silence and shame through speaking out and reporting.
She has been instrumental in organizing family violence diversity training, cultural sensitivity awareness programs, and communications seminars. She champions the victims of child abuse, domestic violence, and sexual assault through editorial writings, public speaking and through Court Watch. She has been a strong activist, promoting awareness through church and community partnerships.
Ms Lefiti is a strong community leader and has been very active in a number of organizations that seek to promote justice for the people of American Samoa:
Vice-Chair for the Multi-Disciplinary Task Force against family violence;
One of the founders of the American Samoa Coalition Against Domestic and Sexual Violence, serving as Vice Chair from 2004-2007 and as Executive Director from 2009- 2010;
Co-founder of American Samoa's Task Force on Faces of Abuse;
Secretary for the Women in New Dimension, a domestic violence transitional facility;
Secretary on the governing board of the Boys and Girls Club of American Samoa;
Member of the First Lady's Ta'ita'itama Executive Board on prevention of underage drinking initiative.
She is a graduate of Samoana High School, and served in the U.S. military until 1994. Now retired from her job as a surgical technician at the LBJ ER, Ms Lefiti continues to work there part time to assist LBJ with their staff shortage.
Ms Lefiti is the third child of Vailu'u Failautusi Avegalio (Leone) and Ema Toomalatai Lauolefiso (Mataututai Apia). She is married to Taupau Kaluse Lefiti (Tau, Manua) and has two sons, Vainu'upo Pelekina and Lui Edward, both following in her footsteps by serving in the United States Army.
The Arthur A. Morrow Justice Award is presented to an individual or organization that has, through their actions, made significant improvements to the justice system and the rule of law in American Samoa. This may be demonstrated through improving access to the judicial system, showing superior professional competence, demonstrating outstanding integrity, professionalism, and civility, expanding pro bono services to the territory, upholding the highest principles and traditions of the legal profession, or otherwise empowering the legal profession in the territory.
Arthur A. Morrow was American Samoa's longest serving Chief Justice, sitting on the bench from 1937-1966. His term created much of the jurisprudence that is the foundation for American Samoa's legal system. Chief Justice Morrow's commitment to the territory and its justice system serve as the basis for the Justice Award.

Today I am feeling like a little bit of colour inspiration and any shade of poppy, coral, orange and hot pink will do the trick. With summer only just around the corner and the Christmas shopping underway I'm in a bright and bubbly kind of mood. Can't wait to burst forth in summer colours, indulge in a few ice-cream treats and get down to the beach in my new coral beach dress - the perfect shade for summer!

When it comes to the aftermath of the Mid-South's Easter freeze, throw out modeling predictions and conventional wisdom. In the freeze's wake, there have been many surprises in the corn crop — usually unwelcome — for farmers and agriculture researchers alike.
"Southeast Missouri corn was devastated by the freeze," says Al Wrather, Missouri Extension plant pathologist. "That became clear pretty early. But the damage in some wheat fields is still progressing nearly three weeks after the initial freeze. It's difficult to explain how freeze injury is showing up so late after the event."
In the past, "we've accepted that, following a freeze, a judgment on damage shouldn't be made until four days have passed. Four days! This year proved that time period isn't valid. It can take much longer.
"Consider that four days after the freeze, we saw corn that appeared on the verge of putting out new leaves. But the seed simply didn't have the energy to push them out. And the four-day guideline is absolutely not valid when looking at wheat."
Replanting in Arkansas is about 90 percent complete says Jason Kelley, Arkansas Extension corn specialist. Much more corn has been replanted in Arkansas than Kelley originally thought would be necessary. The numbers are still being tabulated, "but I believe close to a third of our acreage was replanted — 150,000 acres to 200,000 acres out of around 550,000 total corn acres. On a lot of corn acres, the growers had already side-dressed nitrogen and put atrazine out. Then the freeze hit and, 'Oh, man, I'm locked into corn now. I've got to find some seed.'"
A formidable mistress
Rick Cartwright has never seen anything like the current freeze damage. "Hopefully this is a one-in-a-hundred-year event where everything comes together for bad," says the Arkansas Extension plant pathologist.
"Mother Nature is a formidable mistress, and she isn't one for much forgiveness. There was weather in March that favored planting a lot of acreage; there was a lot of emergence followed by a severe, late-spring freeze combined with a persistent cold spell that lasted several weeks. Talk about a head fake."
The freeze predisposed corn "to things like Pythium, and some of the bacteria often called 'soft rotters'" says Cartwright. "Normally, those things aren't a big problem in corn. But adding in the plant injury factor and that ups their capacity for destruction."
Tennessee had the best start for wheat and corn Melvin Newman had seen "in a long, long time. Now, the growing points in some of our corn are still alive. But the plants are sickly and lethargic and that's a recipe for disease. Once all the energy from the seed is expended it can't fight off problems and begin growing again."
The later, replanted crop "unfortunately lowers the yield potential from the early-planted crop.
"Also, disease has a better chance in our corn — especially for gray leaf spot, which tends to limit production on susceptible varieties planted late.
"And we may have more of that corn because farmers didn't get to replant varieties they would have preferred. To what extent that will play out, who knows? But the threat is there."
Wrather agrees the freeze could have long-term repercussions. "Yields will probably be lower than farmers were expecting. That's because this replanted corn won't be emerging until, at earliest, the first part of May. That's compared to a planting date of late March or early April."
Increased disease pressures could also result.
"Among the diseases we're concerned about are rust and gray leaf spot," says Wrather. "The rust will be moving into the Bootheel from fields to the south. Any inoculum load — the spores that cause rust — could come in and impact our crop more than is normal.
"For example, a late-March planted crop that emerges the first of April may be halfway through the grain-fill process when rust arrives. Impact on yield could be minor."
However, with May emergence, the corn crop could be at the beginning stages of grain fill when rust arrives this year. That means "impact on yield could be much more dramatic. Now, that's all supposition but it isn't wild speculation."
On the other hand, Wrather says there could be some positives with a later crop. "Corn emerging in early May will likely produce kernels later in the summer when it's a bit cooler than the early-planted crop. That could potentially mean fewer problems with aflatoxin. Regardless, producers need to water corn properly and stay on top of any insect problems."
The days after
For seedling crops, the cold spell after Easter was almost as important as the freeze itself.
"It didn't allow recovery," says Cartwright. "That cold snap doomed the plants. If they could have recovered quickly and made food from the sun, the fields would have been in much better shape. But they just sat there. A professor of mine used to say, 'When a plant sits in the cold nothing good will happen.' And that's true. Eventually something will get it."
The northeast Arkansas farmers that Pioneer agronomist Roger Gipson is working with are nearly done replanting corn. "It's strictly a guess, but between 50 and 60 percent of the corn from St. Francis County up to Clay County was replanted.
"After the freeze, there was an inch or so of green tissue left above the growing points. But the week following the freeze was abnormally cloudy, wet and cool and the plants stagnated.
"That was devastating, especially for the fields in the V-2 to V-4 growth stages. The seed reserves were used up and the plants ran out of gas."
Meanwhile, the damaged tissue was still above the growing points and, "almost by the day, you could watch it moving lower and lower towards the growing points."
After the freeze, "we needed 55-degree soil temperatures to get some growth on the corn," says Kelley. "But we couldn't get a break with the weather. Shortly after the freeze, the soil temp was 48 degrees."
Another unusual occurrence: many corn fields in Mississippi's central and south Delta are suffering from "twisted whorl syndrome." Marked by bright yellow leaves and twisted whorls appearing in the top of individual plants, the problem is "closely correlated to the extreme temperature fluctuations our crop has endured during the past several weeks," said Erick Larson in an alert to farmers. "Plants should grow out of this strange development relatively quickly. Most fields showing these symptoms range from V-5 to V-7 growth stage.
"Wrapped, twisted leaves are above freeze-damaged leaves (if present), indicating cool temperatures followed by recent warm, sunny weather are largely responsible for the problem. New leaves emerging from the whorl are initially quite yellow because they have been wrapped up and shaded longer than normal. These leaves should regain their green color within a few days."
Water critical
Anytime a corn crop is pushed later into the season, "it increases the risk of problems: insects, stress, drought, heat and disease," says Cartwright. "For both insects and certain foliar diseases, later planting allows them more generations. The later the crop, the more time insects and/or something like southern rust have to move and do damage."
However, "the risk is truly unknown. We suspect it will be greater but that doesn't hold true constantly. It is still April, after all."
The late replanting is enough of a worry "that I'd probably budget a fungicide and insecticide, just in case. And I'd keep a closer eye on the crop."
A later corn crop also means grain quality risks increase. "It's imperative that corn growers don't let the replanted corn have water stress," says Cartwright. "That is absolutely critical for many reasons including the crop missing the early spring moisture. Once the corn begins growing it's hard to keep up with. And now it'll be later, hotter and drier so irrigation must be watched closely. Drought leads to many other problems."
Bootheel producers "should plan for the possibility of spraying a foliar fungicide to protect against rust and other things," says Wrather. "If needed, it should be applied when the tassel begins to emerge. I think fungicides on corn may be more important this year."
Mid-South researchers are using the Easter freeze as an opportunity for study.
"I had some corn in test plots that sustained a lot of damage and uneven stands," says Gene Stevens, Missouri Extension crop production specialist. "There were strips to compare nitrogen rates between sorghum and corn. After the freeze, I ditched that test and instead went with replant dates. At the end of the year, we'll be able to tell what keeping the damaged plants versus replanting showed. We may not have the opportunity for another test like this in a long time. And I'm sure farmers would be fine with that."

We've discovered 500 exoplanets, most of them gas giants even bigger than Jupiter. But some, known as super-Earths, are rocky worlds only a bit larger than our planet, and now we've discovered the cloudy atmosphere of one of these worlds.
GJ 1214b is about 6.5 times Earth's mass and located 40 light-years away. When it was first discovered in 2009, astronomers measured its relatively low density, which indicates it has an atmosphere, but they had been unable to measure it.
Harvard astrophysicist Jacob Bean led a new line of research that examined light from GJ 1214b's star. Specifically, they were looking for starlight from when GJ 1214b was between the star and Earth, meaning it had passed through the planet's atmosphere. Depending on the chemical composition of the atmosphere, the light would be subtly altered, creating gaps in the wavelength that would reveal the gases with which it interacted.
The spectrum they got back from GJ 1214b was featureless, meaning the light was unaffected by transit through the planet. That may sound like a failure, but it actually rules out some prime suspects, including a cloud-free, hydrogen-rich atmosphere like that of Neptune. Hydrogen, as the lightest element, is the most prone to absorbing passing sunlight as it's the least tethered to its planet. Bean explains:
"A hydrogen-dominated atmosphere would be very 'puffy.' It is this puffiness that would have given a very strong signature in the spectrum that we measured. The featureless spectrum tells us that it is probably a very dense atmosphere. However, the alternative is that it does have a puffy atmosphere but with thick, high clouds that we can't see through, similar to Venus, or [Saturn's largest Moon] Titan."
If that's true, then the planet is most likely shrouded in water vapor. Because GJ 1214b is very close to its star, the entire planet might well look to be covered in steam. Bean says we should know more for certain very soon:
"I think we'll get the answer within a year, maybe even sooner, we just need longer wavelength observations. Whilst clouds and hazes give a uniform absorption over the wavelength range we used, over very large wavelengths you would expect a difference."
Still, there's some room for caution. As Open University exoplanet researcher Carole Haswell explains, we still need a little more confirmation of the findings from a space-based observer:
"They've done this looking through the Earth's atmosphere, which is never a friend to astronomy," Carole Haswell, an exoplanet researcher at the Open University, told physicsworld.com. "What they've done is very difficult; any slight systematic effects are going to have a huge effect on the conclusions that you draw. It's good, solid and exciting stuff but I'd like to see it checked from space, e.g. with Hubble."
She is, however, excited about what this could mean for the search for Earth-like planets:
"If you can measure the composition of the atmospheres of planets like GJ 1214b then you are getting quite close to saying how similar they are to Earth. This is a big step in addressing the question of whether Earth is unique."

Scripture: Luke (NIV) 21:1 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 "Truly I tell you," he said, "this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on."
Observation: Jesus was watching people as they gave their offerings at the temple. What impressed him was not the amount of their gift, but the amount remaining after their giving. It was not the size of the giving, but the size of the "remaining."
Application: Jesus watches my giving too. Although I am able to give more than in earlier years, I also know that I have more left over after my giving. Knowing that I am a steward and that it all belongs to God, I know that he is just as interested in what remains as in what is given.
Prayer: Lord, may you be pleased both with my giving and my remaining. Amen

Giant non-typicals often have such crazy racks that you go "Hmmm" at first glance, but the monster buck killed by A.J. Downs in Texas is pretty doggone handsome.
Downs arrowed the heavy-racked on the opening day of bow season in Texas, Sept. 29. According to this great report at BasecampTexas.com, he double-lunged the whopper from a ground blind on a rainy morning and found it about 75 yards away. The buck has more than 20 points from massive bases and is just thick from the bases to where tines sprout.
What a fantastic deer. Downs is waiting for an official score but is certain it will be well over 200, and we agree. Quite impressive headgear for this Texas buck!

A word used by a bunch of ignorant Edmontonian (and other people outside of Calgary) UD users so that they feel so "proudly". As a Calgarian, I believe this is bullshit because we are fighting one another on which city is better and shoving their opinions on which city is better down other people's throats. Newsflash, we are all the same. This doesn't apply just to Calgary, but other Cites that get some trash talking from UD users from other cities. Can't we unite? All this bigotry and hate is making us Canadians look like Americans!
If Edmonton was full of white people and Calgary was full of black people, Edmontonian UD users would go nastier and more ignorant by obviously saying Calgary sucks and then go too far by calling Calgary a "a city filled with a bunch of evil n*ggers"

Tom Herzig' Trackside: It was a wild, crash-filled weekend
A FEW NIGHTS shy of a full moon, there were more than the usual spills and thrills on the regional short track scene last weekend. Speed, danger and crashes are key elements of the sport's appeal to be sure, but no one wants to see anyone get seriously injured. Thankfully, safety equipment, personnel and procedures were up to the test.
North Eastern Midget Association NEMA Lite driver
Scott Bigelow
of East Hampton, Conn., got the worst of it at Riverside Speedway.
Bigelow was running third on a restart try in which yellow stayed out and his open-wheel machine was launched 15 feet into the air when he ran over
Avery Stoehr
's tire.
"He went for a ride," his father,
, said. "He cracked two lumbar vertebrae and sprained his thumb, but he's walking and he'll be OK." Stoehr was treated for a wrist injury.
P.J. Stergios
of Candia won the race.
The NEMA Midget feature, won by
John Zych
, was red-flagged to attend to
Anthony Marvuglio
, who pounded the wall after contact with
Todd Bertrand
In the Late Model main,
Luke Shannon
of Groveton came from the rear for his third straight win.
There were two Sprint Cars of New England rollover incidents Friday at Bear Ridge Speedway. The first occurred when mechanical failure sent
Will Hull
over the top of Turn 1 during warmups. The second liftoff involved
Tunk Berry
of Center Ossipee and
Tyler Rich
of Lyme, who got airborne in their heat race. Hull was in the mix, too, but he was able collect his car and stay right side up.
Berry and Rich walked away from the wreckage."We had the track pretty wet for warmups, which is necessary, but the clay forms a berm on the outside," owner
C.V. Elms
said. "There were a few hurt feelings, but no one was seriously injured, which is good and the 40-lap Modified feature (won by
Chris Donnelly
of Piermont) went green to checkers."
Miraculously, there were no serious injuries sustained at White Mountain during a spectacular Dwarf Car (open-wheeled) accident that was triggered when leaders
Jim Wentworth
Paul Marsan
touched tires coming out of the fourth turn. Marsan hit the wall and shot back across the track. The carnage sent
Andy Hill
on a slide for life on the butt end of his race car down the front stretch before it hammered the first turn wall.
"I was looking straight up at the sky thinking I hope this hurries up and ends and not too badly," Hill said. "I went for a good ride. All the bolt-on parts were bent or broken, but the internal structure of the car held up. That and the Hans device, saved me."
"I missed Marsan," Hill said, "but in the chain reaction, I got over Jason's (car owner
Jason Wyman
, who was driving a Franconia Auto Service team car) right rear and climbed up the wall."
Wyman's wife,
, shot video from the grandstands, which is posted on YouTube illustrating how fortunate Hill was.
At Airborne Saturday, a veteran official made the mistake of trying to cross the track on foot while the Modified field was circling under caution. He was struck by a race car and left the track in an ambulance, luckily without any life-threatening or concussive injuries.
"Drivers, especially at night, have limited vision and aren't expecting personnel on the track," said SCoNE's
Mike Kondrat
. "Once when I was on the track lining up cars for a restart, in dark clothing admittedly, the flagman threw the green. Even he didn't see me. I learned that having an orange or lime vest or reflective tape is a good idea."
Eddie MacDonald
won the ACT event at Beech Ridge Saturday, besting
Joey Polewarczyk Jr.
, of Hudson, and rookie
Bobby Therrien
Wayne Helliwell Jr.
, of Dover, maintained the point lead with a seventh-place run.
DJ Shaw
, of Center Conway, went to Star Speedway and came away with the win in his first Granite State Pro Stock Series appearance of the season.
Friday night, Lee hosts the Lance Davis Memorial Late Model Sportsman Shoot-Out presented by Prime Storage Warehouse and Storage.
JR Baril
was last week's LMS winner.
Ricky Wolf Jr.
Mike Netishen
were 1-2 in the Small Block Supers.
Hometown favorite
Todd Annarummo
won the Valenti Modified Series event at Seekonk. The Valenti Mods are at Thompson tonight for a make-up race before heading to Monadnock Saturday for the Victor Johnson Memorial 100 presented by Swanzey Oil.
Thompson's future plans are in doubt. The 2014 Icebreaker has been put on hold because of planned road course construction on site and weekly racing may be in jeopardy.

First of all, Flores confirmed Microsoft has indeed taken a different approach to promoting the next release of Windows. "We know that when we talk about our plans for the next release of Windows, people take action. As a result, we can significantly impact our partners and our customers if we broadly share information that later changes," he explains, "With Windows 7, we're trying to more carefully plan how we share information with our customers and partners. This means sharing the right level of information at the right time depending on the needs of the audience.
More interesting are the rather clear goals Flores puts forth for Windows 7:
Apparently, Windows 7 will focus on performance - not a bad idea seeing the lukewarm reception Vista has gotten was mostly based on its demanding requirements.
Steven Sinofsky, Microsoft's Windows chief, also broke the silence today in an interview with CNet's Ina Fried. He reiterated the three year time frame, where Windows 7 is scheduled for release three years after Windows Vista. Sinofsky also confirmed what Flores had to say: driver and programs that work on Vista will also work on Windows 7. "We're very clear that drivers and software that work on Windows Vista are going to work really well on Windows 7; in fact, they'll work the same. We're going to not introduce additional compatibilities, particularly in the driver model." He added that Windows Server 2008's kernel is an evolution of Vista's kernel, and Windows 7's kernel will be an evolution of the Server 2008 kernel.
Ina Fried posed some interesting questions to Sinofsky, one of which is about backwards compatibility. Many people, including myself, have argued for an Apple-like approach: move backwards compatibility into a virtual machine. Sinofsky dismissed the idea of looking at backwards compatibility as a burden or challenge:
Lastly, IStartedSomething claims that during the Ballmer-Gates keynote speech at the D6 conference today, Windows 7 will make its first public appearance. "Whether or not we'll actually see a live build of Windows 7 or purely a technology demo of a specific feature remains a mystery, but it's sure exciting," the website states. In light of the rather tight-lipped approach both Sinofsky and Flores have just taken, I'm not sure whether this claim holds any water - but who knows. Be sure to keep an eye on the D6 website.

Steve Blake scored 16 points and Pau Gasol added 14 to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets 90-88 on Tuesday night with Kobe Bryant watching from the sidelines.
Bryant rejoined the Lakers after having a procedure on his knee performed overseas. He received an ovation when he walked on to the floor in sweats during warm-ups and sat on the bench during the game. Bryant, who is also recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, was not made available to the media but reported progress in an in-house television interview.
Blake made one of two free throws with six seconds remaining and Denver missed two shots on the final possession. Chris Kaman had 12 points and seven rebounds while Jordan Hill had 12 rebounds.

The historic run continues for this Florida football team down a road filled with sinkholes and rusty nails sticking out of mildewed boards. Nobody can say it has been forgettable.
The historic run continues for this Florida football team down a road filled with sinkholes and rusty nails sticking out of mildewed boards. Nobody can say it has been forgettable.
Not when there is so much history. Losing season, no bowl game, first loss to an FCS team.
And not just any FCS team. A mediocre FCS team with one of the few injury lists that can match Florida's. And that mediocre FCS team, with losses this season to Wofford, Furman and Samford, not only beat Florida with a bunch of recruits that no respectable SEC team would consider, but with a team that looked faster and tougher than the mighty Gators.
In other words, Georgia Southern looked like the better team.
All you Gator fans who I've been talking off the ledge? You have my permission to jump.
I can give you reasons but there are no excuses. Not for what we saw Saturday. Not for Florida being the team that didn't make mistakes for three quarters (no penalties or turnovers) and yet found itself digging out of a hole.
And then you knew it was coming. A chance to win the game because Georgia Southern missed consecutive extra points and field position to start a drive at the opponent's 49 and … wait for it … wait for it … bam. A 15-yard unsportsmanlike penalty on Keanu Neal.
Will Muschamp called it "embarrassing," this turned-over tackle box of a game. He could have been talking about the entire, miserable season.
"We're going to get it fixed," he said.
Not this year. This year is over. If I'm Muschamp, I'm calling my old pal Jimbo Fisher and asking for a running clock next week. Maybe shorten the quarters?
This team clearly has nothing left. On Saturday, a season that has been hobbling around in a couple of walking boots saw the Gators lose three linebackers and end up playing a walk-on middle linebacker when the defense had to have a stop.
If you didn't watch or listen or were not there, you need not read further. You know it didn't happen, the stop that had to happen, because it hasn't all year. Instead, a fullback named William Banks ran for 53 yards on third down.
Of course he did.
And when Skyler Mornhinweg's final pass was batted down and the clock showed 0:00, Georgia Southern celebrated like lottery winners in The Swamp. Bolstered by a surprising number of fans (tickets were cheap and available and they smelled blood), the players didn't want to leave the field long after it was over.
When that final play was over, there was this look of disbelief on the faces of the Florida players and coaches. They thought they had seen the bottom of the pit two weeks ago against Vanderbilt. Turns out they weren't even close.
"It's all disappointing," Muschamp said. "It's hard to really measure it."
There will be plenty of people to do that for him. Plenty of people will point to the inevitable 4-8 record and wonder if it's worse than 0-10-1 in 1979. They will bring up the fact Florida has now lost eight of 12 games in 2013. They won't be able to see the injuries for the losses.
"We're going to bounce back and we're going to be Florida," said linebacker Darrin Kitchens.
Maybe some day. Maybe next season. But Florida isn't Florida right now. And while I've explained over and over why Muschamp isn't going anywhere, the biggest question facing the Gator Nation right now involves direction — where is this program going?
Certainly there is only one way to go and that is up. This is a low point in Florida football. It's not the lowest. But it can't get much lower. Of course, we thought that two weeks ago.
I get how this team has been devastated by injuries, but should a team with a former scout team lineman starting for it rush for 429 yards and have 22 plays of five yards or more against any group of Florida players ever assembled in the history of the program?
The end is near. That's the best thing we can say about this season.
We won't have to watch this team for much longer. And we won't have to listen to another winning coach talk about how UF has " a great football team."
We know better.
You know how I always say that college football seasons fly by so fast and we don't take enough time to embrace the days and weeks? This one can't get over quickly enough.
It has been ugly, a wet diaper that keeps showing up in the pool, a black sheep of a relative with hairy warts, an ingrown toenail next to the one you jammed against a door.
Hey, history isn't always pretty.

Former Trump adviser on North Korea: 'At the moment it does not look good'
A former national security adviser to President Donald Trump sat down with Sinclair Broadcast Group to discuss the current state of foreign relations with North Korea.
Sebastian Gorka, former deputy assistant to the president, said it's "very hard to make sense of what they're doing because everything they've done in recent months, is a constant escalation. We've done everything we can through the good offices of our ambassador at the UN short of now, engaging in a real naval blockade as we did during the Cuban Missile crisis. There's very few non-kinetic options left, so it's really up to North Korea to back down and deescalate, but it looks as if they're not interested."
When asked what the end game may be, Gorka said he believes "there is clearly a trigger moment. They talk about going to war, they threaten US interest in US territory. As of yet, they haven't physically targeted US interest OR territory – if that happens, everything changes."
"I think what [the president has] done is very clearly - is end what we've seen for more than a decade which is a systematic nuclear blackmail of the west by the regime in North Korea. He said, it hasn't brought stability. On the contrary, for every concession made by the west, they've gone further and further in illegal missile launches, illegal nuclear detonations, so he said, 'buster- enough – it stops, sent a very clear message. Now we'll have to see how they react to that very clear signal."
His prediction on what happens next: "North Korea is a hard target in terms of intelligence. It's probably, along with Iran, one of the hardest targets for us to penetrate, especially the human intelligence assets. So, to predict what this one man – because it truly is a cult-like soviet system – it's very difficult. Because you have to penetrate thought processes of the dictator who runs North Korea. At the moment it does not look good."

Note: Matt Cohen's brain is currently on hiatus mode, as he is deeply entrenched in all things San Diego Comic-Con (including photographing a hand-picked Comic-Con edition of Cosplay Friday, for next week). That being said, he still managed to write this week's roundup of the best, brightest, and, oh man, I need sleep right now because I have been walking like 6 miles a day and there's so many costumes and wait, was that a Kaiju cosplay?
These Devil May Cry cosplayers should be more concerned with how awesome they look, and less concerned with the poor lighting in that bunker/tunnel.
Whereas Dante from Devil May Cry just needs to work on his tidying up skills.
This Last of Us group says, "We dare you to mention Nathan Drake ONE MORE TIME!"
These two are all tuckered out from their magic carpet ride.
You think this is a Resident Evil 4 cosplay, but actually, that garbage can is cosplaying as a girl.
No caption needed. AMAZING Journey cosplay.
Nidalee from League of Legends is a natural sun-dial.
We don't have the heart to tell Rapunzel that her boyfriend is a piece of paper attached to a tree. They seem so happy.
Comic-Con has really upped their uniform game with some killer Durarara cosplay.
Puppetmon (Digimon) has never looked better, although we'd assume he'd want to be as far away from lumberjack-filled areas as possible.
Dig my choices? Got a cool cosplay you want to show off with the world?Kindly leave a comment, email me , check out my YouTube channel, or hit me up on the Twitter machine.

A hearing Friday morning resulted in the bond being lowered for a man being jailed for first-degree murder in connection to a homicide near Pilgrim Auto Electric.
A hearing Friday morning resulted in the bond being lowered for a man being jailed for first-degree murder in connection to a homicide near Pilgrim Auto Electric.
Davidson County Judge Ted Royster set the secured bond for 35-year-old Derek Gribble at $100,000. The man, who was previously in custody under no bond, is accused in the death of 22-year-old Colton Edward Johnson. Authorities alleged Johnson died after being stabbed May 28 in the throat in front of Pilgrim Auto Electric on West 11th Avenue.
Gribble was taken into custody shortly after the stabbing incident off of West Center Street Extension by a trooper after being chased by a woman who witnessed the stabbing. Lexington Police Chief Tad Kepley has said a possible factor leading to the altercation was road rage. Warrants have indicated Gribble and Johnson were involved in an incident on South Main Street that led to an altercation.
Friday, Davidson County Assistant District Attorney Alan Martin requested Royster set Gribble's secured bond at $250,000. Referring to the possible flight risk of Gribble, the prosecutor stated the defendant has never shared an address of residing in Davidson County with the N.C. Department of Motor Vehicles and has previously had addresses on file with the state agency on two occasions in Lenoir, one in Kernersville for three months and four addresses in Alamance County. Among his arguments, Martin also urged the judge to consider Gribble fleeing the scene after the May incident, and the fact the witness stated she had to drive 95 miles per hour to catch up with Gribble.
Martin also said he was concerned about an instance of visual hallucination when Gribble while in custody asked for clippers to remove blood of the victim from underneath his fingernails. However, there was no blood, the assistant district attorney said.
"We felt like (a $250,000 bond) was minimum for an alleged homicide where there is a videotape of the episode," Davidson County District Attorney Garry Frank said after Royster set Gribble's bond.
Frank was referring to surveillance video that caught the stabbing incident. The video, which was played in court Friday, shows Johnson pulling into Pilgrim Electric first and then Gribble pulling in behind him. As Gribble's vehicle comes to a rolling stop, he gets out of the vehicle and within seconds Johnson is stabbed and Gribble flees the scene in his vehicle.
"It is apparent from our video, it was a situation of anger and malice," Martin said in court as he expressed concern for the community regarding Gribble's release. The assistant district attorney explained Gribble and Johnson were strangers to each other.
Gribble's attorney, Locke T. Clifford, says his client was not guilty and was using self-defense during the incident. Clifford said Gribble used a fishing knife after Johnson swung with his fists twice at his client. The defense attorney added that during the video Gribble's head goes back once after a punch, and told the court a toxicology reports shows cocaine was in Johnson's system. Clifford further argued Gribble and his passenger were trying to get Johnson's license plate number when they pulled behind his vehicle.
"It is a clear state of self-defense," Clifford said. "So much to this danger to community."
Clifford pointed out Gribble's mother, grandmother and aunt were in the courtroom and stated the grandmother's intentions of putting up her house in Alamance County for the bond. As of Friday afternoon, Gribble remained in the jail.
Clifford also called Capt. Roger Brammer, assistant jail administrator for the Davidson County Detention Center, to take the stand. Brammer said Gribble initially came into the jail appearing to be distraught, was crying and appeared to be remorseful. After an evaluation by a nurse and detention center staff, a judge signed a safe-keeping order for Gribble to be housed at Central Prison in Raleigh, a condition that Royster removed Friday. Gribble, however, has been in the detention center since Aug. 5, a day before his Rule 24 hearing where prosecutors announced they won't seek the death penalty.
As a result of questions from Clifford, Brammer said Gribble's demeanor is now much different as he will speak. He said Gribble is respectful and he's heard no negative reports on the inmate.
In the event Gribble is released, Royster ordered he have no drug or alcohol consumption, have no contact with the victim's family, be subject to electronic monitoring and have no weapon of any kind in his possession or in the premise of where he occupies.
Family members of Johnson declined to comment outside of the courtroom.
Gribble's trial is set for Feb. 10 of next year. If convicted of first-degree murder, Gribble would spend life in prison without parole
Clifford released a statement late Friday afternoon regarding the case.
"North Carolina law recognizes the right of self defense. Derek is remorseful over the death of Mr. Johnson, whose death was entirely unintentional."

Materials: Scrap wood, flashing, hammer, nail or awl
This is sort of a cheat, because I didn't have to do anything for this except take my kids to opening weekend at a nearby historical homesite. The festivities included an encampment by the Lebanon (CT) Militia, a group of mid-17th century historical re-enactors. We wandered by the tinsmith's tent, and he invited the boys to give it a try.
I include this here because it would be so fairly easy to replicate at home. The boys are using hammers, nails, aluminum flashing purchased from any hardware store, and scrap wood to place underneath the flashing. The gentleman told us that the pieces of metal were tin with aluminum coating (tin rusts), and could be found at any hardware store.
After the boys got the hang of using the nail, he let them use some shaped awls–one made a short straight line, so you could make a flower, for instance, by surrounding a nail punch with the lines. V immediately began punching out his initials. N began experimenting with the various shapes, seeing what they could do (and also banging so well that twice he nailed his tin sheet to his wood block!).
It was open-ended and process-oriented, with the fun of hammers on top of it. (G, by the way, was invited to try, with my help, but was a bit too unsure–maybe she'll try at home.) There are some safety considerations–the edges of the tin, he told us, are sharp, so you don't want to run your finger along it. The back has pokey-out bits. But certainly kids are capable of working safely with it. The tinsmith showed us a candle screen made with one of these sheets with a design punched out. He'd punched a design out on the sheet, then nailed the bottom (one of the longer edges) to a rectangle of wood that acted as a shelf for the candle (or several smaller candles, I guess). A simple yet pretty way to display a finished piece.
We're going to put the boys' punched tin sheets in their windows, after they bring them to school to share about their visit–which also included muskets. And pirates. And playing conkers… what's not to like about an afternoon like that?

I run WIN XP and the last 2 times I booted up telnet started.
Im not sure if this is a tell tale sign of a virus.
What you guys think.
A+ Certified
Thats pretty weird... if you can, go further into detail as to what happends.
Is it trying to connect to a server or is it just booting up as if you just opened it?
... Or do you mean the service? In a command prompt type "services.msc" and in the window that pops up find the Telnet service. If it's running, stop it and if the startup type is Automatic set it to Manual.
or as obvious as it may seem type "msconfig" in the "run" box and make sure telnet is not due to startup when the computer starts up hehe .. very basic but you never know, you could also check the startup in the start menu
Its just booting up .....
msconfig tells me that mcc was checked to startup during boot.
But why?
Don't see why he was negged, but okay. Anyways, it's in autoexec.bat because it's a hardware file for your D drive.

Why did someone neg him for this post??
Drugs have taught an entire generation of kids the metric system.

I was about to ask the same thing. A simple question about a popup window on startup that's a service and he gets negged?
We the willing, led by the unknowing, have been doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much with so little for so long that we are now qualified to do just about anything with almost nothing.

It's 10:45pm on a Monday. I can't sleep. After writing the previous post, I decided to take a trip around the internet.
In my travels, I stumbled across Cartoon Brew. And low and behold, there was a post about the closing of the San Fran version of Wild Brain. And in that post was a mention and link to this crappy blog you are reading now!
I can't say for sure, but I'm almost positive Cartoon Brew gets more than 1 visitor a day. Which makes it far more successful than my blog. Man, I've hit the big time. To all my new readers, welcome to hell!
I can't wait to check the visitor stats tomorrow. Right now, it tells me I get 1 visitor per day, and I'm pretty sure that visitor is me. If it's above 5 after this mention in CB, I'll consider it a success!
Against my better judgment, I actually read the comment section of Cartoon Brew to see what the responses were. However, I'm much too cool to reply there, so I'll do it here.
To Judas:
Re-read my post Einstein. I said Wild Brain SF was shuttered. Not the entire company. Oh wait, maybe you're responding to the CB post and not mine. Hmm. My apologies. No wait, I take it back. No apologies! (I need to maintain my bad-boy image.)
To Rainbow Tear (do rainbows cry?)
Of course my post was poorly written. That's how I roll. By the way, absolutely no research goes into this website. That would be reserved for people who actually care about integrity.
I'm glad I could get that off my chest. I feel much better now.
First and foremost, this site is a lot of opinion and baseless comments. This is a place for my view on the world of animation. There is bound to be some fact, some rumor, but probably mostly a whole lot of opinion.

1 visitor a day? than might be me... sorry to dash all your hopes.
I'm even following you on twitter - does this make me a stalker?
I visit about once a day, or did until the gap between August and October. But now that the posts are back this is on my routine blog route :)

NEW YORK (AP) — A crane inspector will not be going to prison for fabricating inspections of New York City cranes including one that collapsed and killed seven people.
Edward Marquette was sentenced to five years of probation on Wednesday.
He was acquitted last year of all charges related to the deadly crane accident on March 15, 2008. But he was convicted of falsifying records of other inspections.
Marquette was also sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service and fined $5,000.
