Free Chickens… With A Catch
The other day I came across a Craigslist ad…
"Free chickens. You catch!"
Free chickens? Heck yeah! I'll work for food! So I called the lady right away and got directions.
She lived on a farm, and was due to have knee surgery in about a week. She was tired of the chickens getting under her feet when she fed her horses, and just wanted them gone.
The problem? They were everywhere! Her free range hens had quickly multiplied, and were roosting in the woods, in the barn, and anywhere else they found a place to park for the night.
Armed with a huge fishing net and several boxes to hold our captives, we pulled our van up to the barn gate and surveyed the battlefield. There in front of us was a huge pasture with horses and donkeys… and pecking chickens everywhere. On the left and right were trees, and old sheds full of barn stuff.
Couldn't be too hard, right?
We hopped out of the van, and were immediately confronted by these guys…
They were HUGE! And beautiful. And an absolute crack up!
Though they were harmless, the kids were pretty scared by them and were hesitant to get too close. I don't blame them, they were practically eye-to-eye with the creatures!
If you've never been in the presence of a humongous turkey when it sticks its neck out and lets out a loud and garbled GOBBLE!, then you have got to find a farm sometime this year, for the sheer purpose of experiencing a live turkey. They circled us, gobbling, and we all died laughing.
Their names were Bush and Cheney. (Mrs. Farm Lady was a staunch Democrat.)
Man, I'd love to have a turkey like that, purely for kicks!
Okay, but back to the chickens…
At first, we tried to sneak up on a few hens and ensnare them with the net. No dice. They were very quick, and were NOT having it. The lady offered me a long, metal pole that was hooked on the end to grab the chickens by the leg. With my new chicken-catching-tool in hand, I decided to climb to the top of her barn hoping to snag a hen that had flown up there.
By this time another car of people had come to catch chickens, too. Great, I thought. Competition. And they were loud, obnoxious people. Double fun.
As I finished my steady climb up the rickety homemade ladder, I heard the newcomer lady down below me shout for the world to hear, "Look at 'er, she's gonna fawl!"
Geez, thanks lady.
I was relieved to get a fairly good footing once up top. The hen I was chasing flew and landed on top of a florescent light fixture hanging from the barn ceiling. I reached from my loft with the stick and tried to shoo her off the light; she was just out of grabbing distance. But then I spotted another hen up there with her. I leaned out and poked it, hoping it too would fly into reach, but it didn't move. I poked it again.
Yep. Dead as a doornail.
I called to the farmer lady below, "Uh, there's a dead chicken up here on top of your light." You know, just in case she started to smell something… as if she'd be able to smell a dead chicken among the horse manure.
"Oh," she called back up, "it might-a touched an exposed wire."
Here I am touching it with a metal stick. Lovely.
I climbed back down to see where my husband and kids had gone off to. It was beginning to get dark, but I was able make out Jerry's figure in the distance of the pasture. He was running full speed after a little hen, with net raised in hand as if it were a spear, which he suddenly lunged through the air in an attempt to perfectly land it over the fleeing hen.
Why did I not bring my video camera?!
The kids were busy trying to catch hens themselves, or shooing them from their hiding places. And the other people were easily catching all of the hens they were sending out. That's great, people, thanks.
I stood back and watched for a minute, and realized that a bunch of hens were jumping up into one really tall pine tree to roost for the night.
I handed my leg snatcher stick to Jada, grabbed a low hanging tree branch, and proceeded to make my way up the tree, being careful not to put my hand in one of the massive piles of poo that had accumulated on the surrounded branches. By the looks of it, this was the place to roost.
Jada raised my stick back up to me. But every time I tried to grab a hen with it, they would only fly to a higher branch. I climbed, and climbed (and was grateful I wore pants for this little escapade). But once we got close to the top, the hens just flew down and ran off to find another roosting place.
Well, at least they were out of the tree.
But then the older boy that came with the other couple grabbed one of the hens I'd just chased down; the huge, black hen I'd had my eye on from the get-go! It was really on, then. War, people! I needed some chickens!
A minute later, I mercilessly flung myself at a big, white hen that was desperately trying to find a hiding place in all the chaos. And I caught her!! I held her tight as I made my way back to the van to find a box to put her in. The other lady saw the hen I'd just captured and came close enough to deafen me as she shouted to her husband, "Hey honey! She caught that white hen you was wantin'!" Obviously, she was letting me know that that was her hen. I tried to conceal my smug pride.
Me, Jerry, and the kids ran around for a good 2 1/2 hours before we finally rounded up 7 hens and a gorgeous rooster. Jerry even caught a hen with his spear-like lunging net maneuver. Which made him king of the hunt.
But by then it was pitch black, freezing cold, and we were all hungry. Time to head home. I thanked the woman graciously for allowing us to have the chickens for free. Our competition was packing up as well.
And then I remembered something. As I sat in the van and nursed my hungry baby, Jerry went over to the other couple and offered a trade: that black hen I was after, for the white one they had wanted.
It was a deal. And I got my big, beautiful black hen after all.
So, after all that trouble, here are the new chickens…
All the black ones are the newbies. I apologize, none of them wanted to look up for the camera. I'm thinking they'll do much better free ranging here than my white ones; the hawks shouldn't pick 'em out as fast.
And here's our new man. Not that we needed another rooster. But he was just so pretty!! I have no idea what kind he is.
The things we do around here!! But hey… they were FREE!!!

good morning
Love the names of the Turkeys, but I can go one better. I am a Republican and have two donkeys, named Kerry and Clinton, because they are asses and the donkey is the symbol of the Democratic Party. :-))
Those turkeys are beautiful! The rooster is an Easter Egger- I have a bunch right now and none are mean, my first EE was horrid though. They are beautiful- although I have not met many rooster who were not striking!
An Araucana is a rumpless chicken, he is not an Araucana. An Ameraucana has a certain standard, he does not meet them all so he is not an Ameraucana. He is an Easter Egger which is a mix of several breeds and the Ameraucana. He should pass on the blue/green egg gene to his offspring. Sounds like quite a fun adventure. If you want some of those turkeys, let me know in the spring I will mail you some eggs.
Have mental pictures of the chase. What a hoot! Or cluck, or cackle. Still laughing. Bet your children make that an even funnier story after they retell it a few times.
Your new rooster has the head of an Aracauna.
There are several ways to catch chickens. I call one method "the ZEN Way" you totally ignore them as you walk around peacefully and when one is well within striking distance you grab them, this method works occasionally.
Another method is the "wait until dark" method. Chickens calm down around dark and start to roost, they also have bad eye sight at night. You can usually catch them around there roosting places.
The third and most successful method is to "corner them". I chase them up to a corner of the fence or where the fence meets the coup. Then you move back and forth to keep them cornered till they make there escape and you pin them between the fence and your leg. This works fine with the hens and is a little more difficult with roosters, but for some reason guinea fowl are smarter and just fly up over the fence, laughing at you as they go.
Thankfully most of my birds are homed and I raised them from eggs, but there are those days that I walk a way and yell back at them "Fine, stay out with the coyotes, owls, foxes and hawks, you darn feather brains!"
How lomng did you isolate them? How did they do with mixing in with the others after their time alone? Funny story although I'm sure it wasn't funny at the time. I never went after any free chickens not knowing how they were raised and with having to isolate them for a minimum of 2 wks. that was a problem as I ahev 1 pen in the barn for my chickens. I like the black ones.
We have a rooster that looks exactly like this one. Ours is an Ameraucana and Wyandotte mix.
I am 72 years old, and wishing I could have done all that you and your family are doing! I have enjoyed you "life with chicks" to funny. Keep up the great work, your great grand children will love these stories. They manage to get better with time! God Bless
Kara (Resident Chicken Expert) thinks it's a Silver Ameraucana. This one stumped her a bit because it's not very common. It's definitely not an Araucana; they're often confused but they're not the same.
That new rooster is very handsome. I hope he likes the new place.
I loved reading your story and had a good laugh. That was a lot of work for 7 chickens. How are they working out for you?
My daddy always said nothing in this life is free, there's always a catch. I guess this is so true in your case! It sounds like a situation I would find myself in. I'm very jealous of your rooster; he is so beautiful. And I think he is a Salmon Faverolles because I've been eyeing the breed in the Hatchery catalog and wondering if my husband will notice if a box of chicks comes in the mail. Congratulations on your new additions!
The rooster looks like a rooster that I had several years ago with my Aracana chickens. I assumed he was an Aracana since he was in the group of Aracana pullets that I had ordered. Yes, the male slipped into the group. We didnot realize he was a rooster until he was older and began to crow!!! He was beautiful!!!!!
I'm sure this will be a story your kids will be telling for ages.
It's amazing how some people hear "free offer" and presume that they are the ones who can have the freebie – – and that they don't need to show any gratitude, humility, or good manners for the opportunity either.
Hopefully you scored some points with the lady of the house, – unlike that other bunch. You never know – you might deal with her again and she'll remember how well mannered your family is.
Your rooster looks exactly like mine and we were told he was a phoenix. He's just the sweetest thing ever. He never charges us, picks at us or plays the bully. We may change his name however from Virgil to Reverend Virgil since he goes to hide under this board and sits down to "pray." LOL Two three times a day he retreats to that spot to talk. It sounds like he's actually praying too. 🙂
I loved this! I could totally see myself in the same situation…I wanted to go grab that black hen for ya'…I'm glad you ended up with her in the end. My mom keeps chickens…I LOVE chickens, but we are not allowed to have them where we live.
free!!!!! and now you not only have some great chickens but a gretat memory that i guarantee will be told to your grandchildren! how blessed you are! we plan to get 6 more hens- we aren't roosters here- in march to go with our 6 we have now. (we had seven but she died) but unfortunately i only have tractor supply to go 🙁 oh well! 🙂
This is so great – who needs a video camera when you described it so well? I can picture everything perfectly, including the flying lunges! Great story. 🙂
Your post had me rolling! We also have chickens, and they do NOT like to be handled. For a while there, they would all roost on the lawn furniture, and we would have to walk them all to their coop at night. We would wait until they drifted off to sleep before picking them up. You are right about needing a video camera! Too funny!
This is great. Reminds me totally of something we would have got caught up in.
I love the dead chicken and exposed wire part. Was the chicken bloated or fried?
You made a memory you will never forget!
That is too much fun! I am sure if you had video taped Jerry I would have tears of laughter in my eyes. I was cracking up just reading it! 🙂 It is so cool you got to do this and especially as a family! So much fun! Thank you for sharing this story. You got a lot of beautiful birds and best of all they were Free! Love it!

I am cracking up at this post. That is a serious adventure. I remember catching chickens at the farm when I was growing up, and even though our chickens were pretty friendly they were still hard to catch when they didn't want to be caught.
Can't see his feet to count the toes and he isn't feather footed but he looks similar to Salmon Faverolles or a Silver Gray Dorking. I've never had them but one of the hatchery sites said that Salmon's were originally bred as a utility fowl in France, now it is raised mostly for exhibition and novelty. It is good sized with a beard, muff, feathered shanks, and 5th toe. The male is colored in straw, reddish brown and black; the female a creamy white and salmon brown. Baby chicks are creamy white with muff, fuzzy legs, and 5th toe. The Silvers are a very old breed known even to the ancient Romans and introduced by them to Britain. Characteristics are the color combination of silvery white and black for males and white and ashy gray for females. Both sexes have a 5th toe, and a long body on short legs.
I think it was wrong of the woman to allow two separate families to try to catch her chickens at the same time but it sounds as if you handled it very gracefully. Do you plan to go back out and try to catch any that y'all might have missed?
oh my word, this had me laughing so hard. Sounds like a fun family outing despite the weirdos that were snatching up all the birds you wanted.
What an escapade! Looks like it was a fun outing.
Your rooster looks like an Aracauna. All our
Aracauna roosters have been very gentle and

A look at a book
Dudley Fair: Dudley Elementary had its annual book fair in the media center last week. Although figures were unavailable for this year, elementary media specialist Angie Richeson said more than 2,400 books were sold last year—an average of four to five books per student. Richeson said the fair's goal is to get as many books into the hands of kids as possible and bring the community into the school to meet staff and see what's happening in school. She added that Scholastic book company officials say that Dudley has one of the bigger fairs in the state at which parents, grandparents and other community members volunteer. Proceeds from the fair help buy books for the classroom. Through a coin drive, Richeson said Scholastic also donates a book to charity for every dollar raised. That meant $1,200 worth of donated books in 2012. Pictured are Sheena Villaluna (left) and Savannah Ostendorf.

"Right You Are!"
Just because my family came to America from locations in Scotland and England doesn't mean that you can understand them even though they are speaking English. As a small child, I went with my father, Tom, a first-generation American, to visit his mother's family whose surname was Aiken. At one house, a woman threw open an upstairs window, leaned out and called out to my father. She called my father by his middle name and spoke to him in her loud "Scottish voice"! I was confused and asked my father if she was speaking French. I still remember his laughter.
The "wee bairn" (that's what they called me) was a hit with the family from that point on. I was so sure it was French because I knew my father took French in high school and could speak it well enough to talk to the children during his time in Europe during WWII.
Aren't we supposed to listen to family stories and make sense of them?
Athletic and gregarious, Tom inherited a habit of saying, "Right you are!" and nodding emphatically when he spoke the words. It meant he was agreeing with what you said and appreciated your conversation. I don't think my father fully understood my desire for getting the ancestor names and dates down on paper. He would have been impressed and given me a "Right you are!" for researching back four more generations past his own father. I did it in his memory and learned that Scottish women (these are my great-grandparents) are a forceful influence on family and are determined and frugal. I love being right.
About a month before she died, my mother told a story about her great-grandmother Sarah who lived to be ninety-nine. One Sunday, she was out for a ride in the car with her family. Whoever was driving drove past the local evangelical church. They were being spiritual by singing and shouting on the lawn of the church and throwing themselves down on the ground. ("Holy Rollers") It is said, that upon viewing this somewhat alarming event in conservative New England, whoever was driving wanted to stop and see if anyone was injured. Sarah told them to keep driving and remarked, "Leave 'em lay where Jesus flung 'em!". In my family, we have now adopted this saying as a measure of tolerance for things we don't fully understand but accept.
You know what my father would say, don't you? "Right you are!"

Good one! I grew up with a girlfriend two doors down - her parents were Scottish immigrants. I later worked with her mother when I was in college. After all these years...I'm still never quite sure what the Dad is saying. It's a treat for the ears to listen to them though!

I'll have to remember the "Jesus" remark! Too funny!

Nashville Sights
Downtown Nashville has much to offer in the way of history, music, entertainment, dining, and specialty shopping. It's also undergoing many changes. Music City Center, a new convention center complex, offers spruced up museums and streetscapes, with new attractions and hotels to follow.
To get a more complete feeling for the city, you'll want to explore the area beyond downtown, too. Among
the offerings are historic plantations, a variety of museums covering everything from art to cars to science, and some great places for kids, including the Nashville Zoo—not to mention the Grand Ole Opry.
The Cumberland River horizontally bisects Nashville's central city. Numbered avenues, running north-south, are west of and parallel to the river; numbered streets are east of the river and parallel to it as well.
In East Nashville, across the river from downtown, small shops and galleries are popping up among the restored Victorian houses. Micro-neighborhoods with shopping, dining, and new living spaces are developing all over the city, including 12South and the Gulch.

More than 6,000 Connecticut residents battle the effects of multiple sclerosis daily. In a show of support, each year hundreds of loved ones, friends, neighbors, and co-workers throughout Cheshire and surrounding communities, lace up and step out in solidarity for a single cause: to end the potentially devastating effects of MS.
The Cheshire High School will once again serve as the starting point for this year's Travelers Walk MS on Sunday, April 22. Check in opens at 8 a.m. and walkers will hit the road at 9 a.m.
Last year's Travelers Walk MS attracted over 10,000 participants and raised a record amount of more than $1.35 million. The National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter hopes to raise more than $1.45 million this year.
Roughly 2,100 walkers took to the streets in Cheshire last year and raised $243,000. This year, the community will stride toward a goal of $ 264,000. The top team from last year's walk was Team Jenifer, raising $29,886. Top individual walker, Don Walsh, raised $24,245 for his team.
"Each year Cheshire-area residents come out in large numbers to demonstrate support for those in their community battling multiple sclerosis," said Karen E. Butler, National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter vice president of communications. "Our Cheshire walk site planning committee members do an exceptional job of rallying the troops, bringing people together from all walks of life in a single effort to raise funds to find a cure."
At this year's event, the Cheshire site will feature team photos, music, cotton candy and popcorn machines, an MS Experience Area with a fun filled Kids Zone and bouncy house, face painting, and local involvement from the town fire department and police department who will be handing out information and materials on how to stay safe.
Funds raised by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Connecticut Chapter, through events, such as the Travelers Walk MS, ensure ongoing scientific research to find better treatments and a cure and provide vital programs and services offered by the chapter.
To learn more about the 2012 Travelers Walk MS, or to pre-register, please visit www.ctfightsms.org.
To learn more about multiple sclerosis, its effects, and programs and services offered by the chapter to those living with MS visit www.ctfightsms.org.

Principles of Sustainable Weed Management for Croplands
Digital Price: |

By Preston Sullivan
Published: 2003
Updated: 2003
15 pages
IntroductionTo some extent, weeds are a result of crop production, but to a larger extent they are a consequence of management decisions. Managing croplands according to nature's principles will reduce weed problems. And while these principles apply to most crops, this publication focuses on agronomic crops such as corn, soybeans, milo, and small grains. The opportunities to address the root causes of weeds are not always readily apparent, and often require some imagination to recognize. Creativity is key to taking advantage of these opportunities and devising sustainable cropping systems that prevent weed problems, rather than using quick-fix approaches. Annual monoculture crop production generally involves tillage that creates conditions hospitable to many weeds. This publication discusses several alternatives to conventional tillage systems, including allelopathy, intercropping, crop rotations, and a weed-free cropping design. A Resources list provides sources of further information. |

Whether you're a seasoned veteran, trad climber, sport climber, prefer bouldering or multi-pitch, or just a gym, Tahoe has a little something for every type of climber. The rock type in this area is primarily high-quality granite with some areas featuring basalt (volcanic rock).
April –June are prime rock climbing time at Lake Tahoe, and while April can be iffy depending on the snowpack and weather, this April was ideal. A few weeks ago, we ventured out for a late afternoon climbing session at 90-foot Wall. Despite a few initial crowds, it tailored off and there were plenty of routes to explore.
Here is a brief list of just a few of the rock climbing areas at Lake Tahoe…there are many more out there!
Trad climbing – Sugarloaf, Eagle Lake, Phantom Spires, Lover's Leap
Sport – 90-Foot Wall, Luther Rock, Luther Spires, Mayhem Cove
Bouldering – Pie Shop, Deli Slicer, Christmas Valley, Echo View, Echo Summit (multiple areas), The Secrets, and many, many, many more!
Gyms – To keep in shape between those outdoor trips, Push Fitness in South Lake Tahoe features a bouldering wall. The closest indoor climbing gym is located in Incline Village at High Altitude Fitness. You'll find a friendly staff and lots of local climbers, so if you need a climbing partner or want some good beta, stop on in.
Rock climbing is about the overall experience, from the time you pack up the car to the time you arrive back home. Soak in every moment. Be sure to appreciate the views from the top.
For first-timers, go with someone who is an experienced, skilled climber and knows the area. And not only be sure you can trust your belayer, but be a belayer your climber can trust. The scariest climbing moment of my life was on the final route on a day-trip to Last Chance Canyon in New Mexico, when a mix-up in communication, or a lack there-of, led my first-time-outdoor-climbing belayer to think that I would be repelling. He took me off belay and walked away. When I said on belay and take and looked down, he was gone. Quick thinking by an experienced fellow climber is probably the only thing that kept me from serious injury. Pay attention and communicate.
Be prepared: Have a topo of the area so that you know what you're getting yourself into when picking a route. If you cannot find a landmark and are not sure what route you are looking at, ask a fellow climber. Most are happy to help you orient yourself…just don't try to take over their lines. Have respect.
Dogs are allowed at most climbing areas. As a fellow dog owner, please keep an eye on your pup and tie it up if it doesn't socialize well with others. Also, please clean up after your dog. No one wants to step in that mess when evaluating a route or mingling around.
Remember: Leave no trace. Please pack out what you pack in and earn some extra karma by picking up any trash you see on the trails or at the crags.
Chick on rock. Rock on chick!

Among the 11 entrants, two are from Ireland, one is from France, and another is shipping in from Canada. Seven of the runners are based in the United States, including five who train at Belmont.
The Belmont Oaks is a Breeders' Cup Challenge "Win and You're In" race in the Filly & Mare Turf division. It was formerly contested in September at Belmont as the Grade 1, 1 1/8-mile Garden City. The NBC Sports Network will show the race live during a broadcast that will run from 5-6 p.m.
Trainer Dermot Weld, who is based in Ireland and has won major races all around the world, will attempt to win his third Grade 1 race at Belmont Park when he sends out Flying Jib in the Belmont Oaks. Previously, Weld took the 1990 Belmont Stakes with Go and Go and the 2003 Flower Bowl Invitational with Dimitrova.
As a 2-year-old, Flying Jib was fourth in her debut at the Curragh before breaking her maiden by 4 ¼ lengths over the all-weather track at Dundalk. In her final start as a juvenile, she registered a 1 ½-length victory in the listed Silken Glider at one mile when switching back to turf at the Curragh.
Flying Jib, a Juddmonte Farms homebred, has made only one start this year, showing speed and holding on to take the Group 3, seven-furlong Athasi on May 5 at the Curragh. The Belmont Oaks will be her first start beyond one mile.
"[The distance] has to be the biggest concern," said Weld. "She, as a filly, is very well and she traveled very well, but [the distance] has to be the doubt. She was a winner as a 2-year-old at a mile. This is unknown territory for her, but she has given every indication that she will get the trip."
Pat Smullen will ride Flying Jib, the 5-1 morning-line third choice, from post position 5.
Also coming in from Ireland is Wonderfully, who is trained by Aidan O'Brien for Michael Tabor. Wonderfully, who won the Group 3 Silver Flash at Leopardstown in Ireland one year ago, has made two starts in 2014, finishing ninth in both the Group 1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches on good-to-soft ground on May 11 at Longchamp and the Group 1 Irish 1,000 Guineas over the heavy going on May 25 at the Curragh.
Wonderfully, 12-1 on the morning line, drew post 12. Colm O'Donoghue will ride.
Xcellence, the 3-1 morning-line co-favorite, has proven herself over all sorts of ground in France. She concluded her juvenile campaign by finishing second by a nose in the Group 3 Prix Miesque on heavy ground in November and opened her 3-year-old account by getting up by a neck in the Prix Imprudence on firm turf in April, both at Maisons-Laffitte. She finished third in her past two starts, the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches (beaten 3 ¾ lengths) on good-to-soft grass in May and the Prix de Diane (beaten 1 ¼ lengths) over a firm course on June 15 at Chantilly. The one-mile Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and 1 5/16-mile Prix de Diane are the two Classic races in France for fillies and were swept this year by Avenir Certain.
Francois Doumen trains Xcellence for Martin Schwartz, who purchased her following the Poule d'Essai des Pouliches.
Gerald Mosse has the assignment aboard Xcellence, who drew post 7.
Flying in from Canada is Conquest Stables' My Conquestadory, who is based at Woodbine with trainer Mark Casse.
My Conquestadory won the Grade 2 Summer against males last September at Woodbine in her first start before taking the Grade 1 Alcibiades in October at Woodbine and finishing fourth in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in November at Santa Anita after breaking from post 14.
The Belmont Oaks will be My Conquestadory's second start as a sophomore, having finished second by a nose after setting the pace against three opponents in the Grade 3, 1 1/16-mile Selene on May 18 at Woodbine.
Javier Castellano will ride My Conquestadory for the first time in the Belmont Oaks.
"It was a small field with no speed," said Casse of the Selene. "[That was] not where we wanted to be. Hopefully, Javier can get her to relax. That will be a key to getting her to go 1 ¼ miles."
My Conquestadory, 12-1, will depart from post 3.
Co-favored with Xcellence at 3-1 is Room Service, a Gary and Mary West homebred who demonstrated she can handle 1 ¼ miles when she came from well off the pace to take the Grade 1 American Oaks by 2 ¼ lengths on May 31 at Santa Anita. She enters the Belmont Oaks on a three-race winning streak, capturing the Grade 3 Herecomesthebride by two lengths in March at Gulfstream Park and dead-heating with Rosalind in the Grade 1 Ashland over Keeneland's Polytrack in April for trainer Wayne Catalano.
Trainer Christophe Clement, one of the three locally based trainers who will have representation in the Belmont Oaks, will send out Wonder Again winner Sea Queen and unbeaten Summer Solo.
Stonetower Stable's Sea Queen has won two straight at 1 1/8-miles, taking an entry-level Keeneland allowance by three-quarters of a length in April before prevailing by a half-length in the Wonder Again on May 25 at Belmont.
Irad Ortiz, Jr. will guide Sea Queen, 10-1, from post 11.
Summer Solo will make her stakes debut in the Belmont Oaks. She beat New York-breds in her first two starts, a maiden race in November at Aqueduct Racetrack and a Belmont allowance in May, before winning an optional claimer by 1 ¼ lengths on June 11 at Belmont.
Owned by Sarah J. Leigh, Summer Solo, 30-1, drew post 3. Cornelio Velasquez will ride.
"It is not an easy race, but you don't have many chances to run a mile and a quarter for a million dollars, so let's go," said Clement.
Bradley Thoroughbreds' Goldy Espony, one of two entrants for Chad Brown, will make her stateside bow in the Belmont Oaks. She won a pair of races at St. Cloud in France - the listed Prix Rose de Mai and Group 3 Prix Penelope in April - before lagging home seventh in the Prix St Alary on May 25 at Longchamp.
Minorette, who like Wonderfully will carry the colors of Michael Tabor, began her career in Ireland before she came to the United States, where she has finished third in an allowance in Keeneland and second to Sea Queen in the Wonder Again.
"Minorette came to us in terrific shape and made a great impression in the barn when she arrived over the winter," said Brown. "From the way she's been training, I think she's sitting on a new top and we're very excited about running her. I like what I've seen of Goldy Espony. Off her last breeze (five furlongs, 1:01.00, June 29) she deserves a spot in the starting gate."
Jose Lezcano will ride Goldy Espony (10-1) from post 1, while Joel Rosario has the call aboard Minorette (12-1) from post 9.
The field also includes Rosalind, who has returned to the United States after unseating her rider at the start of the Grade 1 Coronation on June 20 at Royal Ascot, and Recepta, who won the Chelsea Flower last fall and was third in both the Grade 3 Appalachian and Wonder Again.

Antioxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, found in fruits and vegetables, are important for good health. But in a case of more isn't necessarily better, boosting your intake of antioxidants by taking supplements won't necessarily help protect against Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, some studies suggest. Although studies have shown an association between an increased intake of antioxidants and a reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease, the National Institutes of Health says that researchers still aren't sure whether these factors can actually prevent the disease. Experts recommend that instead of increasing your antioxidant intake, make sure your diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.

We have another report today from Connecticut and the UConn memory card tests that are done in that state regularly. These are Premier/Diebold memory cards and 9% of the cards inspected failed for various reasons including that some contained additional random data.
The recount of ballots for the Senator from Minnesota has begun. Already some new numbers are coming from at least one county. And in Alaska the decision seems to have been made and the voters have been heard. That leaves Georgia where early voting has begun....

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Officials say a warrant has been issued for the arrest of a heavy equipment operator in the collapse of a Philadelphia building onto a thrift store that killed six people.
Authorities said Saturday that 42-year-old Sean Benschop will be charged with six counts of involuntary manslaughter, 13 counts of recklessly endangering another person and one count of risking a catastrophe.
Police are searching for him.
Authorities believe Benschop was using an excavator when the remains of the four-story building gave way and toppled onto an attached Salvation Army thrift store. Deputy Mayor Everett Gillison tells The Associated Press that a toxicology report showed evidence that he was high on marijuana.
Benschop didn't return a telephone message seeking comment.
At least two survivors are suing the demolition contractor and building owner.

I am a 26-year-old female, and I've been with my boyfriend for almost five years. Our relationship is pretty good, for the most part, but I'm having a few reservations. I don't really know how to broach this subject, because I feel like I'm just being a bratty little princess. But here it goes:
I feel like I'm at the bottom of my boyfriend's priority list. He'll stay up until 5 am working on something, but he won't sacrifice an hour to do something with me. He leaves for work around 9:30 am, and most nights he doesn't come home until 10 pm. Every household expense must be split exactly fifty-fifty, regardless of the fact that he makes four times what I make. If I eat a little more than my fair share, he makes me pay him back. He has a car and I don't, but he'll only ever give me a lift somewhere (like to work) if he's already going that way — and he still makes me pay for gas, even though he was already going that way. He doesn't bat an eyelash at spending $2500 on new stereo equipment, but he puts a $50 cap on my birthday dinner, saying, "If it goes over $50, you're paying the rest."
If I'm stranded out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night and call him crying (this actually happened), he'll tell me to call my other friends first, and if none of them can come, then I can call him back and he'll come get me — but I'm paying for the gas.
We only ever have sex when he's in the mood. Then, if I want to change positions because I don't like being twisted like a pretzel, he gets angry and stops. So if I want it, I just have to pretend it doesn't hurt to have my legs pushed so far back they're gonna pop out of my hip sockets.
He wants me to go to college, which I'm doing this September, so I asked him if he would let me pay slightly less than fifty-fifty for rent so I can afford it. His response was, "Lots of people put themselves through college. Why should you get any special treatment?"
Here's the thing, though: isn't it only fair to split our expenses fifty-fifty, even if it breaks me? And isn't it fair of him to ask for gas money when he has to do all the driving? Can I expect a man to spend more on me than I can spend on him? I don't want to be showered with expensive gifts and lavish vacations. I just want to feel like I'm worth something, you know? Am I being selfish?

Ok in the picture alone i can see 2 lawsuits, one from Apple for the design of the Contacts and Calendar icon, and one from Google for the bottom Phone, Search and Camera icons.
OH I forgot the page dots, hey Apple since I pointed out the patent infringements maybe I can get a cut from the lawsuit?
Competition is GOOD! We all know what can happen with a monopoly. With that being said im going to buy one just so i can use the 10-12 applications that the BB Store will have from day one till it dies again hahahahahaha! On a serious note, it looks like one of the iPhone 5 mock ups. Nothing like being original huh?
They can still compete with Windows Phone I suppose.
It's basically an iPhone, but at least it's different then they're other phones, unlike apple, I mean really, they look IDENTICAL
I was gonna say this. Actually, I think they'll eclipse Windows Phone pretty quickly.
This is Apple's strategy. New look every 2 or 3 years. Small tweaks. No need to reinvent the wheel.
So what did they change their name to? If they changed it to Blackberry that's quite frankly stupid since that means their new phone is the Blackbery Blackberry 10?

Showbiz Sandbox 14: Zooey Deschanel Proves It's Twee To Be You And Me
August 3, 2009
First off, we took care of a little internal business by welcoming entertainment journalist Michael Giltz as an official co-host.
Alonso Duralde joins us this week. Alonso is the film critic at MSNBC.com and the author of "101 Must-See Movies for Gay Men". His reviews are featured regularly on The Rotten Tomatoes Show. A member of the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, Alonso spent six years as Arts & Entertainment editor at The Advocate where he is still a contributing writer. His work has also appeared in such publications as the Village Voice, Movieline, Detour among many others. This month Alonso will be curating a the series "So Bad They're Brilliant" at the American Cinematheque. You can follow him on Twitter at @MSNBCalonso.
We asked Alonso to join us because of a story he wrote for msnbc.com called "Do You See What I Twee?", as it related to the latest movies. He described the essence of twee as "avoiding the fashionable, the obvious, the predictable, the mundane in an attempt to be, for lack of a better phrase, showily unshowy…It's about replacing one calculated technique of visual and cultural cues with another." It's an apt description of one of the more popular movies out this summer, "(500) Days of Summer," and its lead, Zooey Deschanel. We also just love saying the word "twee."There was some interesting movie news this week, including the recasting of Rachelle LeFevre in "Twilight: Eclipse" – was she wronged, or is she an uncooperative diva? (A correction from the podcast: the actress' name is pronounced "Rashelle LeFevv.") Ridley Scott is set to direct a prequel to his hit 1979 film "Alien", but without Sigourney Weaver, will anyone care? It looks as if Disney is chasing Rob Marshall ("Chicago," "Nine,") to direct the fourth installment of "Pirates of the Caribbean," which leads us to wonder if there will be singing and dancing in this one! And Steven Spielberg is hopping on the remake wagon with an adaptation of the 1950 film "Harvey," which originally starred Jimmy Stewart. (Quick – get Tom Hanks's agent on the phone!)
In television news, the Emmys will be revamped to show almost no Emmys, Kara DioGuardi will definitely return to "American Idol," but Paula Adbul will only return "if a deal is fair" (e.g. she gets the $20 million contract she's looking for).
A cute wedding video viewed more than 15 million times on YouTube is making money for singer Chris Brown, his record label, and iTunes. Who said YouTube would never find a way to monetize itself?
In Michael Jackson news, Sony has purchased his concert rehearsal footage for $60 Million. The next question is, will it be worth it? It was certainly worth it for Amy Winehouse's father to fake a heart attack to help get the young singer off drugs. Her father reports Winehouse has been drug free since December. . . that is if you don't count all the alcohol she now seems to consume.
Finally, Ben Stiller put together a "secret" short film that pokes fun at Twentieth Century Fox, it's chairman Tom Rothman and mogul Rupert Murdoch. No, Stiller isn't not angry with them, in fact he just moved his production company to Fox, though we'd hate to see the video the multi-hyphenate would make if he were upset.

Stay sharp,

Stay sharp,
I've had several knives sharpened by Jason, and I just can't believe the incredible sharp edge he puts on a blade, along with a beautiful mirror finish.
Thanks, Carl
The camillus F/U knife and camillus Becker 7 was a a joy to work on :)
I recently contacted Jason about evening out an edge bevel I had boogered up on my EdgePro.
Jason responded to my PM quickly, quoted me a very affordable price for his service and most importantly
expertly fixed my mistake. Jason is the real deal when it comes to sharpening.:thumbup:.
I recently contacted Jason about his sharpening services. Jason had sharpened an Esee 4 & 5 for me previously.
I had sharpened a recently purchased ZT0550 on my Wicked Edge out to 1000 grit diamond stones. I was able to sharpen it but not to the degreee I wanted. I also did a "ghetto stonewash" on my Paramilitary 2 and due to the limitations of the Wicked Edge not reaching the last 1/8" of blade at the recasso, I knew it need Jason's touch also. So I mailed off my 2 folders and a Money Order to Jason and began my wait.
I'm no photographer but here are a few pics(no comments about the lint):
Again y'all my pics do not do Jason's work justice, but those of us who have ever tried freehand sharpening you know what kind of skill it takes to keep that rediculously even bevel by hand.
***Important note: A lot of folks(I'm from the South) are hesitant to blindly send off there prized knives and a Money Order. Especially without the security of Paypal payment. Don't be. Jason is a strait shooter who will take care of you and earn your(as he has mine) repeat business***
TooQuiet...Jason stopped by this week-end and touched up some kitchen knives as well as my 0550....I can't come up with pictures as good as yours so I'll just say my edge looks just like yours....and it's back to insanely sharp after a few months of abuse..Jason's the man!
What's the best way to get in contact? I'm having some trouble with my BM 710 and would like a professional to sharpen and even out the bevel.
i sent you a e-mail
I never received an email. I'm not sure I even have an email listed in my profile.
I regret to inform everyone that I am no longer taking sharpening orders.
I am however happy to inform everyone that I will be headed to Arizona to start my new job!
I have taken a dream position as a professional sharpener for a Japanese cutlery shop :D

The Kings were one of three teams fined by the league Tuesday for "tampering" with a player under contract with another team.
During his introductory news conference as the Kings' new coach June 3, Michael Malone said point guard Chris Paul "would look good in a Kings uniform" in response to a question about his relationship with the Clippers' free-agent-to-be.
Malone was an assistant coach in New Orleans when Paul played for the Hornets.
"The Kings organization accepts the league's decision and regret any infraction of the policy," team spokesman Chris Clark said.
The amount of the fine was not disclosed. The Houston Rockets and Atlanta Hawks also were fined.

It can't be easy to find the right roles for Yolande Moreau, whose brutishly unladylike features often appear in sharp contrast with the soft-spoken dignity of her characters.
It can't be easy to find the right roles for Yolande Moreau, whose brutishly unladylike features often appear in sharp contrast with the soft-spoken dignity of her characters. In "The Long Falling," director Martin Provost follows up the pair's Cesar-winning collaboration on "Seraphine" with another part perfectly suited to the actress, albeit one considerably less likely to attract the popular and critical support necessary to break out beyond Gaul screens — a shame, considering the poignant turn Moreau gives as a long-suffering Belgian hausfrau who enjoys a brief window of freedom after killing her tyrannical husband in this low-key psychological thriller.
"She had no memory of love." That's how novelist Keith Ridgway describes the tragic central figure in his soulful suspenser, which Provost and co-writer Marc Abdelnour have transposed from the Irish hinterlands to a rural Belgian backwater for the film — a far cry from the relatively pastoral period setting of "Seraphine." While he may not be a visionary director, Provost is an especially sympathetic one, and with "The Long Falling," the helmer seeks to understand a character so far removed from affection that she sees murder as the only escape from the abusive hell married life entails. There's something almost animalistic about Rose, the haggard fiftysomething farmer's wife Moreau plays here. With shoulders hunched and eyes that skittishly reveal a history of physical abuse, she tries to stay out of her husband's way (grizzled Eric Godon plays the monster in question), but even feigning sleep in bed she is a target for his drunken tirades. Their son Thomas (a scrawny, insecure Pierre Moure) escaped to Brussels the first chance he got, and now Rose is the only one left to suffer her husband's cruelty — which she nobly endures, until the night he recklessly hits a young woman while driving home from a bar. Rose, who must learn to drive while her husband serves a short prison sentence, sees this accident as the final insult, and she karmically puts him out of her misery. Though she is no mastermind and has done little to cover her tracks, Rose is so relieved to be liberated that she immediately heads to Brussels to visit her son, whose new life with an older gay lover ("The Misfortunates'?" Valentijn Dhaenens) perplexes her. In a court of law, few might forgive Rose's crime, and yet Moreau perfectly captures the decades of dehumanization that led her to this point. Although the book reads like one long exhalation, a weary sigh of relief after years of pent-up frustration, Ridgway creates a kind of suspenseful momentum on the page almost completely absent from this adaptation. Instead, the film focuses on the more mood-specific elements of the novel, embracing its genre-subverting sense of melancholy with polite detachment, handsomely lensed by Agnes Godard: We feel for the killer, who has nowhere to go and yet deserves to get there all the same. Abandoned by her son, Rose's only accomplice is a kindly widow with an appetite for crime novels (a terrific Edith Scob) who intuitively knows how to respond to just such a situation, stirring a "Thelma and Louise" like third-act adventure that feels pathetically anticlimactic in contrast with the shocking suddenness of pic's opening scene.The Long Falling

A first-semester freshman will represent Indiana State University at Miss Indiana in June.
Terre Haute resident Ayanna Skyes, who is pursuing studies in psychology and music, has been selected as Miss Indiana State University 2012.
"What a great early birthday present," she said, adding she won her first title one week before her 20th birthday.
That was very different from her initial reaction on the stage of University Hall Oct. 29.
"I was beyond shocked. I couldn't move," she said. "And then the tears started."
Sykes, originally from Chicago, competed against 15 other women to claim the title. Miss ISU was only the second competition she had competed in.
"I met Maggi (Stephens) when I was competing at Miss Crossroads in 2010," Sykes recalled. "She was friendly, polite and very smart. I wanted to be like her."
Sykes set her sights on the Miss ISU crown from the moment she was admitted to Indiana State.
"It was Miss ISU, here I come," she said, beaming.
During her year of service, she will serve as an ambassador for the university, while balancing her studies, music lessons, work and her involvement in Spotlight Entertainment, Women's Chorus and the Ebony Majestic Choir.
But there's work to do before competing for the Miss Indiana crown. In the months leading up to June, Sykes will work on her interview skills, work out with a personal trainer and will develop her talent.
"I'm approaching it with the same drive and passion as Miss ISU," Sykes said.
Sykes is a vocalist and is taking lessons from music faculty member David Mannell. She credits a teacher at Chauncey Rose Middle School for encouraging her to get serious about music.
"I'd been singing for awhile, but he built me up and told me to embrace what I love," Sykes said. "It changed my world. Since then all I've done is music, music music. I can't picture music not being part of my life."
As she prepares for Miss Indiana this summer, Sykes will interact and raise money for the Children's Miracle Network and will raise awareness of her personal platform "Respecting Others Differences."
"No one should be judged or have to prove their worth," Sykes said. "Respect can be given, rather than earned. People need to just be themselves."
Sykes considers herself a very positive and patient role model and looks forward to interacting with children.
"I love children. I hope they can look up to me and see that they can achieve many things with dedication and hard work," she said.
Now she is focused on learning her new role.
"The reality of winning hasn't totally sunk in yet," she said. "It's a big responsibility and I'm excited to represent Indiana State."
She shares a common goal with the 32 ladies she'll compete against in June.
"I want to win," she said. "I want to bring the Miss Indiana crown back to Terre Haute."
The Miss ISU Scholarship Program began in 1958, and Sykes is the 29th winner, receiving a $1500 scholarship. She will now begin preparing for Miss Indiana, which takes place in June 2012 in Zionsville. The Miss Indiana Scholarship Program is a preliminary for the Miss America Scholarship Program.

These are terrific. Craig Robinson, you are to be commended!
Some more:
* I'm actually surprised at how many of these are still "pure."
* North by northeast.
* Hey, could be worse.
* A lot. Perhaps one too many.
* A long distance.
* A longer distance.
* From the dove's point of view.
* Fantastic.
When you were throwing your own hitless gem in 1977, was there a guy up in the booth crowing "no-no" every few minutes throughout the middle innings? Didn't you learn anything from our old friend Hazel Mae?I'm not as worked up about it as some.But sometimes a little superstition has its merits.

In his 2013 budget speech, Gov. Andrew Cuomo called for the closure of four juvenile delinquent facilities, including Middletown Residential Center.
Cuomo said he wants to expand the Close to Home Initiative, which places youth in residential settings that are usually closer to their home communities, rather than in non-secure youth facilities, to upstate. Closing the four facilities would reduce the juvenile justice system's capacity by 88 beds. The employees would be placed in other vacant state positions, or provided re-training assistance if suitable state jobs aren't available, according to Cuomo's budget briefing book.
The center on County Route 78 has 25 beds, according to a state Office of Children and Family Services fact sheet.
Cuomo also said he wants to close Fishkill Correctional Facility, in Dutchess County, continuing a trend of prison closures over the past few years. Cuomo says closing Fishkill plus one other prison in Manhattan will reduce bed capacity by more than 432 and save $18.7 million in 2013-2014 and $62.1 million in 2014-2015. He says the 273 employees at both will be absorbed elsewhere in the prison system.

Defending 3-D Printing
3-D printing is quickly becoming a reality for the everyday person – or at least a select sub-set of hobbyists out there. Companies like MakerBot and DeezMaker have both moved beyond the e-commerce arena and opened brick and mortar retail stores in Manhattan and Los Angeles respectively. The goal being not only to sell 3-D printers, but also to educate the public on their importance. Unfortunately, intellectual property issues and media sensationalism are threatening to dampen this movement's coming out party.
So how does it work? The printer uses computer created designs to create the object through a technique called "additive manufacturing". This process builds the model layer-by-layer, slowly adding each on top of the other until the entire product is complete. This removes any need for cutting, melting, or other techniques. It is possible to print with a variety of materials; however, the cheapest and most widely used by hobbyists is plastic. The use of high-grade thermoplastics and metals is expensive and primarily limited to industrial use.
Corporate engineering firms have had the technology for some time now, using it to create prototypes and devices such as landing gear for airplanes and medical implants. Some researchers have even had success in printing living tissue. On the hobbyist front, the goals are much closer to home, printing custom made chocolate bars or a few extra hotels for those family night Monopoly moguls. The possibilities have exploded – from Dungeons & Dragons-esque figurines to pick guards for guitars – as hobbyists race to share their newest designs on sites like Makerbot's Thingiverse or the more market-centric Shapeways and Sculpteo.
This all seems like fun and games until the object being printed comes with legal strings attached. Take for instance this stunning rendition of an Imperial class star destroyer, uploaded by the aptly named "MacGuyver" who likely has no relationship to Lucas Arts. Interestingly enough, while the uploader is likely infringing on the Star Wars copyright, Thingiverse itself could likely find protection within the DMCA safe harbor.
Different issues arise when patent law covers the printed object. In that case, the 3-D printing scene appears in real trouble since the sites cannot appeal to any safe harbor and the uploader lacks a fair use defense. The end user, unfortunately, faces bleak prospects, as there are no exemptions for non-commercial patent infringement or ignorance of the holder's patent rights. The question is whether patent holders can or will opt to follow the copyright tactic of suing individuals for infringement.
The website, however, only hosts the uploaded files and does not directly print the object. This likely will allow it to escape liability for direct infringement and limit its risks to either induced or contributory infringement. These indirect infringements actions typically require at least "willful blindness" by the distributors to the infringement caused by their actions. Faced with this high hurdle, it would make sense for the patent holder to employ a system of ad hoc "take down" notices much like the current copyright regime.
Lastly, the media itself may doom this burgeoning market through sensationalist storytelling, most recent are those indicating that 3-D printed weapons are only a button click away. Earlier this year a gun enthusiast and 3-D printing hobbyist printed a lower receiver piece for an AR-15 rifle. Inspired by his success a young law student launched himself on a mission to create an entirely printable firearm. After much media hubbub, the company leasing his 3-D printer revoked his license and repossessed the machine he was using.
Several items bear noting in these stories. The lower receiver that was printed was only one of many, many pieces needed to build a working firearm – many of which cannot be made of plastic (or even thermoplastic) due to ballistic limitations. As mentioned above, printing with other compounds such as metal is prohibitively expensive for at home printers. Additionally, the printed plastic receiver suffered from a number of quality issues that would only be compounded when attempting to print smaller, more intricate pieces. In short, the ability to print an action figures at home does not necessarily scale to such complex and highly specialized goods.

3 Responses to Defending 3-D Printing
Katie Kuhn says:
Great post, Zachary! There was a piece in Foreign Policy this week that I thought you might be interested in called "3D Printing and the Future of Warfare." While you are absolutely correct that 3D printers do not currently have the capability to produce all the parts of a working firearm, the Foreign Policy piece discusses how 3D printers could be useful to military units engaged in remote parts of the world. Military officials offered thoughts on developing Google's self-driving vehicles and 3D printers to keep units supplied, not just with guns but with things like communications gear. Notably, their projections for this tech were for some "20 years from now," but I thought it was a worthwhile follow up to your post. It will be interesting to see how the give and take between military and civilian tech develops with regards to 3D printing and firearms.
Brad Edmondson says:
I just want to point out how amazing it is to be alive in the 2010s: earlier this year researchers in the EU 3D-printed a custom-designed jawbone out of titanium for an 83-year-old woman, attached it in lieu of much riskier, more invasive reconstructive surgery, and she was speaking and swallowing the next day.
There are times when I feel like all technology improvement is incremental, but then something like this comes along and reminds me that enough incremental change can inflect our mundane present into a brand new set of possibilities. Welcome to the future, folks. It is awesome here.
Joanna Collins says:
My first introduction to 3-D printing was last year's JETLaw Symposium on Copyright & Creativity, and I remember being blown away by how cool it was. I cannot wait for the day when these machines become household items.
At the Symposium, Chicago-Kent College of Law Professor Edward Lee discussed the potential tension between traditional notions of authorship and situations in which machines, rather than humans, do much of the creating of an object. For anyone interested in reading more about such legal issues associated with 3-D printing, I highly recommend Professor Lee's Symposium article entitled "Digital Originality."

flash vs kal outsider

KaL lost because he was too focused on destroying Flashes main after he destroyed his army. If KaL had of decimated flashes army then went for his expansions and after destroying those expansions tech to carrier or build more gates for pressure then there wouldn't be anything flash could have done. But, KaL destroyed flashes army and thought he had the game so he kept pressing forward (I guess not knowing flash had a ton of factory and could easily rebuild his force in a short amount of time). Crap! That spoiler was suppose to be in the game with Flash vs KaL on destination lol I misread the title of the map. | |||

Special thanks to my Forum brothers in the pacific northwest...
Like last year, I have a lot of thanks to give to my friends and Forum members in the pacific northwest. Bill picked me up at Seatac and got me onto the water in record time. Brian (and Aya) put me up and put up with me for a few days as we ran around Sekiu and some steelhead haunts with Ryan (who kept the upper hand on the catching) before heading back to civilization. Finally, we all got together and had a full day on a very productive steelhead river and had many laughs, some good food, and great times to log in the journal of our lives.
I hope I've provided some form of hospitality to you in your past visits that could compare, and I hope to provide more in the years to come. Whenever you visit the home waters of a fellow forum member you shouldn't hesitate to ask for advice, support or camaraderie during your stay. In addition to forging strong friendships between local fly anglers everyday, the exchange policy represents the "other half" of the Worldwide Flyfishing Forum's foundation when we are lucky enough to travel. Guys, I am deeply indebted and look forward to the day I walk you out to my favorite little honey hole on a mid-day flood on Monomoy! With deepest appreciation, Juro |
How about payback with some Cape Cod striper fishing for any of that crew that would come? Have you told any of them of the 30"+ striped bass on the fly out heah? Lefty |
If you're coming to the Medford, OR area the sheets are clean, pillow fluffed, and your 'buy in' is a good bottle of single malt in hand when you ring the door bell.
Need to do a 'flying trip?' I can also provide some pretty detailed maps covering the vast majority of the Rogue. Fred firstname.lastname@example.com firstname.lastname@example.com |

Interferon alfacon-1 is no longer available in the United States. If you are currently taking this medication, you should call your doctor to discuss switching to another treatment.
Your doctor has ordered interferon alfacon-1 to help treat your hepatitis C infection. The drug will be injected under your skin (subcutaneously) three times a week. Your healthcare provider will show you what to do.
Interferon alfacon-1 is a synthetic interferon that helps to prevent the hepatitis C virus from growing inside your body. This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Your healthcare provider (doctor, nurse, or pharmacist) may measure the effectiveness and side effects of your treatment using laboratory tests and physical examinations. It is important to keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory. The length of treatment depends on how you respond to the medication.
Before administering interferon alfacon-1,
Before you administer interferon alfacon-1, look at the solution closely. It should be clear and free of floating material. Observe the solution container to make sure there are no leaks. Do not use the solution if it is discolored or if it contains particles. Use a new solution, but show the damaged one to your healthcare provider.
It is important that you use your medication exactly as directed. Do not stop your therapy on your own for any reason because your infection may worsen and result in hospitalization. Do not administer it more often than or for longer periods than your doctor tells you. Do not change your dosing schedule without talking to your healthcare provider.
Interferon alfacon-1 may cause side effects. Interferon alfacon-1 sometimes causes a flu-like reaction, including chills, headache, fever, muscle pain, sweating, and joint pain. The effects should become less severe and less frequent as you continue your therapy.
Tell your healthcare provider if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:
If you experience a serious side effect, you or your doctor may send a report to the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online ( Web Site) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).
Your healthcare provider will probably give you a several-day supply of interferon alfacon-1 at a time. You will be told to store it in the refrigerator and to protect it from light.
Take your dose from the refrigerator 1 hour before using it; place it in a clean, dry area to allow it to warm to room temperature.
Do not allow interferon alfacon-1 to freeze; do not vigorously shake the vials. Store your medication only as directed. Make sure you understand what you need to store your medication properly.
Keep your supplies in a clean, dry place when you are not using them, and keep all medications and supplies out of the reach of children. Your healthcare provider will tell you how to throw away used needles, syringes, tubing, and containers to avoid accidental injury.
In case of overdose, call your local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. If the victim has collapsed or is not breathing, call local emergency services at 911.
You should be aware of the symptoms of infection. If you experience any of these effects near the site where you administer your interferon alfacon-1, tell your healthcare provider as soon as possible:

Early birthday present
Fiction, First Time, Incest, Male/Teen Female
Author's infos
Gender: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A
Posted Sat 13th of August 2005
I am an only child who lives with her father in a small house in the middle of the countryside.This happened two days before my 14th birthday.
Was about 9:30 at night and i'd just gotten out of the shower when my dad called me into the lounge, i could see he was slightly tipsy. He brought me over to his chair and made me stand infront of him. He sat staring at me in my fluffly bath towel, He ran ran his hands though my wavy brown hair down my cheek and as he looked into my green eyes he softly told me what a beautiful young woman i was turning into.
I felt uncomftable due to the look in his eye it was like non he had ever given me before , The only person who had givin me this look was my ex boyfriend who i had done some stuff with. My father presented me with a brightly coloured package and told me he had an early birthday present for me as he couldnt wait any longer. I practically snatched the parcel from him i tore it open inside was a box i lifted the lid inside there was a layer of green tissue paper. I peeled back the tissue to reveal a baby pink lace bra with matchin Thong. Go put them on my father told me i gave him a look that said no he more sternly said young lady i said go put them on then come show me. I was a good little girl where my father was concerned so i did as i was told putting on the items he had given me felt strange but i did it n slipped my dressing gown ontop of them. Slowly i walked back into the lounge my dad must have been on his 5th jack daniels by now. He made me stand in the same spot i had before he reached out and pulled off one shoulder of my white satin dressing gown it fell down revealing one of my budding breasts in the bra he had brought me his hard on was visible through his jeans, He did the same with the shoulder until i was standing in just my underwear. This sight seemed to much for him he started rubbin his hard memeber through his jeans he told me to spin around. As i did he said my ass looked amazing in a thong.
My father motioned for me to sit on his lap i did as i was told i sat down facing him he put his hands just below my waist restiing on the top of my thong. I could feel his cock pushin throught his jeans onto my young pussy mound. He told me he had noticed my womans figure developing and he liked my curves n said for a girl of my age my breats were growing nicely, With this he traced my figure with his hands. Like he snapped back to his sense's he removed his hands and told me to go to bed and he would come say goodnight.
I had been in bed about 20 minutes when my father came in he had been in the shower n was just in a pair of trackies ready for bed. I know he's my father and i never really noticed before but tonite he looked sexy even for a 32 yr old with his floppy brown hair wet from he shower and his well toned body visible my body betrayed itself and i gave a slight shiver.
He kneeled beside my bed and again caressed my cheek he looked into my eyes and again told me i was beautiful, His hand traveled down my neck over my chest into the gully between my breasts over my nightie covered stomach to the inside of my thigh. Unsure how to react i just lay there i could feel my young pussy getting wet from his touch just like it had when my ex had caressed me. my father trailed one finger tip up to my mesh covered snatch feeling the wetness he seemed to take this as a sign to continue.Pulling the corners of my nightie over my head i lay there he kissed my cheek then my neck down to my left breast he curled his soft wet lips around my hardened nipple licking n sucking on it i closed my eyes a moan escaped my lips he fingered my right nippe with his hand i squirmed slightly, He slipped his free hand into my thong sliding my wetness all over my tight virgin pussy, My hard throbbing clit poked through my lips his finger running over it sent a shiver through my body. He slipped one finger into my steaming hot box sliding it in and out with his mouth still hard at work on my nipple. All thoughts of him being my own father had melted away all i thought about now was the intense pleasure i was feeling. his mouth suddeny left my nipple n kissed a trail down my stomach i felt his hand tug at my thong i raised my ass to allow him to slip it off. His tongue suddenly made contact with my clit making me lift my body off the bed all i could manage was a simple "ooooooh"
his mouth sucked on my young delicate clit while he fingered my pussy it felt so good. He lapped at my pussy like a hungry dog his tongue dipping in and out of my cunt tasting my juices. He climbed ontop of me and asked if he knew what he wanted i nodded he slipped off his trackies,This was the first timei had seen his cock it looked huge to me. i took a deep breath when i felt the huge purple head start to part my pussy lips.i could feel him filling me up till he hit my maidenhead he gave one short sharp push n stopped i felt a split second of pain dthen it seemed to feel good i put my arms round his neck n my legs round his waist he took this as a sign to go on.Within 15 minutes he was pumping his cock into my tight little pussy harder and harder tellin me what a good little girl i was my pussy muscles started to spasm suddenly he shot his thick sperm up my pussy i caould feel it all the way upto my womb seconds later i was cumming .He fell ontop of me n lay there for a second letting his cock deflat in my cum drenched pussy.When he wasdone he pulled out i could see a pink goo on his dick a mix of cum and blood. He pulled up his trackies kissed me goodnight and left the room. I could feel his sperm still in me it gave me an unusual happy feeling i feel asleep that night with my fathers cum drippin from my pussy.

good story, In my opinion it could have been a little longer, but it was at the very least believable. Like it felt good I agree that it was more believable than most first time stories... 7/10

The readers are being too hard on you. In real live, a young girl still 13 having her first fuck with a horny father would more than likely be a more simple affair . It would have been less believable if she sucked his cock, let him cum all over her face and body, sat on his face and have him fuck her up the ass. Yea, that makes good reading but your story is more realistic.
